"The Pen:" Live NLHE Chat Thread
It's been about 9.5 years and 350K posts of epicness, but "It Lives, It Lives" can live no more. The OG LLSNL Chat Thread got too big for the servers to handle and had to be retired.
You can take that trip down memory lane here.
Now it is time for a new chat thread, and new epicness.
Summer-ish 2015 I sought your advice on full time poker-ing and talked to you at the Venetian. At that point I had been living in Vegas for less than a year. You asked me how many hours I had logged and were not impressed by my numbers. I'd like to think that conversation accelerated my exit out of poker (which was a good thing).
@G - MD (other non sport F) contacted SPC about her experience with the res. The organizers wanted to reclassify MD to sport if she rerouted. SPC called them out and said no fcuking way she should be reclassified MD would be in danger going through and must rerout and deserves to maintain her stat
MD seems to be out of her league in this one (still leagues ahead of everyone not doing this insanity). I couldn’t imagine what she is feeling/thinking this whole time. My guess is that she taps out at some point, but I’m def rooting for the complete finish!!
@gutterball - Yea man, not getting quality hours in is a major contributor to non success in perfessionals. People that havent done it dont realize how hard it is go go in there day in and day out when u r getting your head kicked in. Glad you got out and are happy about it.
@ace - she showed up pretty underpreapared. SPC has really become a fan because of her tenacity. Im rooting for her too.
I'm none to thrilled to see that SPC is headed straight through Chicago Heights at night...
she is canning it in matteson for a quick sleep
Good call!
thx for the input Garik. Told her you were not a fan of biking that area at night and she decided to pull over and get an early start out of there.
Wikipedia puts median home value at $125k!
They have these racers going through some shady areas fo sho. Hopefully she brought a pink gun with her, the trip here on out will need it.
Oh yeah, that's a pretty rough area once she does that little turn north, through the metro into Indiana. Go fast SPC, don't stop.
Cmon guys, grab yer gats and get on yer horses. This little lady may need some backup.
I once drove through Chicago Heights to try to avoid construction on I-80. We did not fit in to that neighborhood, and the number of resentful/angry looks we got was enough to make us decide not to stop and never to take that route again. I've been in some more busto looking places, but never in one that looked angrier.
Gats? and you left horses-littlelady trifecta off the table?
SPC was sleepy this morning. Based on the community notes here I suggested possibly obtaining some recreational pharmaceuticals.
Jeezus - I just looked into that area. Sounds like serious bizness. Why the hell would they rout people through there?
I don't think the organizers really thought about their route. I told Mrs Turtle about the res discussion. She retraced SPC's route on the map and cross-referenced it with reservation maps. SPC went through _at least_ 2 reservations and possibly a third.
So Walla Walla is a neat little town, but my God it is surrounded by miles of nothing. Pretty drive, but one that would get really old when we wanted to do things not found in Walla Walla. Scratch one suggested retirement location off the list, and on to Spokane, which will likely suffer a similar fate.
If u are looking Spokane.....
Coeur d'Alene
Too many Nazis...

Brag: Just booked my 12th straight winning month at my lol 1/3 NL game.
Beat: Required a single big hand in June's final session to turn a monthly loss of $201 into a monthly win of $207, lol @ me, ldo.
Variance: Had a top three grossest thing happen to me during the session. Old guy beside me is apparently getting used to his new dentures. He takes a big ol' swig of coffee but thanks to the new dentures it goes down the wrong pipe. So he turns and does a full on spit take all over me. I'm just literally drenched in coffee that has just come out of the mouth of an old man; my ballcap, my glasses, my face, my beard, my shirt, my shorts, my chips, all just dripping with old man mouth coffee. Dude on the other side of me got like 1/10th of what I got and he's blown back in his chair like he just got hit with an atomic bomb. So I'm literally Old Man Coffee now. Old guy is extremely apologetic and runs to get me a bunch of napkins. All I can do is lol and then I wonder aloud if this is a sign of good luck. I'm then immediately dealt my monthly defining hand as I'm wiping myself off.

That is pretty epic GG, well done! Poker tables are one of the few places where adults being that gross is not at all surprising.
