Started with a $1/$2nl challenge, now we're here.

Concrete!

Just watched “This is Not Financial Advice” last night. Fun watch; enjoyed it. Think hero needs to get some of that run it up energy back!

Yes!!
We been waiting for this day!!!

When we ship it tho we gonna have 6 figs again.

It really took it out of me. When u run it up and then down it takes its toll. Trying to get that mojo back. It really messed w my head a lot.

They experts say wait 8 months to paint.
I guess we work everything else until then. Paint in October.

Goal goes up this weekend.
$2200 for goal and install.

$18k

Is it on a streaming service?

You can rent it on YouTube or prime for 3 bucks. My brother has a sling account. Stumbled upon it there and gave it a watch.

This has been (and likely will be) the nut low period of time recently to not have any money in the market. Combined with nut worst mortgage rates we will see in our lifetimes. Fairly unlucky I guess

The vast majority of gains in the market have come from a small subset of companies (nvda, Tesla, msft, goog, amzn, appl, meta) the so-called magnificent 7. With the way Rayz invests he would have likely not had any exposure to any of these companies so there’s no guarantee he even would have made money. Bitcoin has moved from around 27k to 47k so if he moved back into crypto he likely would have done well

This. I’ve been making a killing the past 3 months playing mostly weeklies.

Made a little money losing 2 outta of 3. Lol

The 5/10 was pretty good, def missed out!

Yeah it did. All tables looked above avg.

Even my daughter knows Taylor always wins.

13+87 = 100

i remember i think 3 years ago when you bet either 5k or 10k on a Chiefs future to win the SB, and then they go and win b2b years!

@hellmuthwasright that started the downswing for me. Shd hv never lost to Bengals that year. Blew that game right before the half vs Bengals. Still remember watching it at Planet fitness during a workout.

U all love a hh. Here ya go.

Call or fold?

Fold pre. Also don't straddle, you're over 40 and you have gray hair, you are the old man coffee now. But seriously just fold pre here. Straddled hands inevitably play tighter than they should based on the blinds. This $45 is strong, T8s is a very good hand to exemplify reverse implied odds. Nothing you can flop besides the stone nuts (staight, full house) is ever that good. Raising with it is questionable, calling with it is bad.

As played you basically have to shrug then call. Don't forget to shrug before you make the call though! But again fold pre and just avoid this.

Never bet on football. The ball isn't round, it does all sorts of crazy things, it's unpredictable. - Norm Macdonald probably.

I think this is a call at this price. I can put Villain on clubs and weaker aces. As played, I think you look weak enough that Villain could either choose this size for thin value, or to bluff.

FWIW, I believe your hand is too strong on the button and stacks are too deep to be checking the flop. And I believe it also contributes to finding yourself in a tougher decision here. I think a better hand reveals itself earlier, and possibly for less money, if you’re more aggressive postflop.

I think this heavily depends on what aggro means. I’m not sure we know enough to say T8s OTB is a simple fold.

•It was an agreed button straddle orbit.
•Not defending 8d10d seems bit nitty. Pure call imo. Mayb 3bet sometimes.
•Checked flop line thought wd pay me more in the hand. I want more money in the pot. If bet flop maybe no one calls me. Let them catch top pair, draw, or something ott. Im in position and hv the opportunity to raise all turn bets.

In this instance, i just flatted the initial $50 bet ott from the utg preflop raiser. Bb then makes his move ch/raising to $250. That gets utg to fold, I call w my trips.

Brick river. Bb fires half pot $360. Doesn’t he go larger if bluffs? Tbh, I was gonna call from jump, but the more I took my time the more I wanted to fold.
What am I beating? I fold.

Racked up 90 mins later, and he said he had 44. Flopped boat.

-$187 2/5nl. <— gd fold helped that #.
-$150 1/3nl. <—bad call w KK & a bad line cost me $300.

-$337 total.

Ordered this last night. Wanted a sturdy base. 3” minimum frame. Wheels to roll off court. Something that wdnt blow away in windy conditions. A cranked pro net.

The bball goal is installed.

Yesterdays’ costs
$1k pickle net + $330 yesterday poker loss +$200 for 50 more retaining wall blocks +$100 life bill stuff = $16.4k life roll.
*NC trip Thursday cd cost us $1k ish if no bueno.

how did you come to this conclusion? T8 being your favorite hand as reasoning wouldn't surprise me at this point.

@mastaaces its a suited connecter. The implied is strong.
In a below avg morning game.
Dude in seat 4 here is talking bout a driving service that he has for asst living homes. I like that idea.

I obviously never trust what someone says at the table, I need to see their cards. That said, I can believe 44 as easily as I can believe aces, and missed flushes. It doesnÂ’t make *perfect* sense, and I agree you might expect a larger size from a bluff. But you might also expect a flop bet. Or a turn lead. What I wouldnÂ’t expect is two checks that deep from a full house.

And while I understand you were slow playing with the intent to get paid later, IMO this reasoning only holds if you think a bet turns your hand face-up. On the button, I donÂ’t think it does. Especially if youÂ’ve managed to foster a looser image throughout the session. Other than that, youÂ’re simply passing on 1/3 of possible betting streets with a hand that can get paid on all three. As played, even then, you simply called $50 on the turn. Not doing much to build a pot there.

But probably most important of all is the position someone with a better hand will find themselves if you bet sooner. A smooth call, followed by a check/raise on the turn sends up far more red flags than VillainÂ’s actual line. It can give you an easier decision. And it leaves you the option to get all-in comfortably when you hit the nuts. As played, VillainÂ’s opponents look very weak. $50 into over $180, followed by a flat begs for a semi-bluff by a thinking player.
