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

You have to have the center line to know if a serve close to the middle is good or not. I would bag the idea of flowers around the court - if you want flowers put them by the pool. Retrieving a ball under a rose bush is no laughing matter.

You need service lines, it's not negotiable!

K u all swayed me.
No more using the saw line cut for the service lines on both sides. Yes it worked, but if we want a truer pickleball court then we need a 2” wide line.

Coming soon. Next pic will have the new lines and more colorful flowers. Thanks for the recommendations.

First loss of May today.
-$236.
One of the best 1/3 games in a long while this morning. Many high vpip and many straddles. Was completely card dead all day. Unfair lol. Maybe card distribution will b better tomorrow.

do you think any of those folks have 17k liquid to their name? those retired folks could just stop playing for a year and be fine. can you?

fwiw, winning at 1/3 doesn't require a lot of studing for some to beat handily. it's not that hard of a game. players play very face up and it would be fairly obvious to anyone who puts in enough volume at the stake, which i would say BS has actually done over the years.

do i think he can win at a descent 2/5 game? probably not from the livestream play and the hands posted, but anyone can run hot in any game and win...

this looks pretty solid. did you ever think about running electric for lighting?

Yard looks amazing
Service lines are a must bro

Nah. But those fixed incomes prob can’t afford to play everyday.
I get ya tho. Just feeding u guys

Yes.
Overhead gorilla light coming eventually.

Ty and the service lines will b done in a couple days.
Still on a mission to make it look more and more spectacular.
Ty guys.

+1 to great looking yard. Your kids are very fortunate.

Every time it’s looking doom and gloom on the $40k challenge we hit a decent score.
+$892 on a gd action table.
Plenty of button straddles, and I followed suit.
Side note: I usually straddle when I see 4 or 5 straddling. It’s advantageous to do everything possible to play higher when ur the best at the table. Def want to do my part to keep the straddles going.

Sitting at $9802 in 1/3 $40k. If can close May and June strong; then don’t count us out.
I’ll take $16k by end of June and wd feel gd about it.

Got lucky in the big hand of the day

Hero $450 w JJ from utg
$6 straddle from button, and I make it $40 after 1 caller. Thought bout $25 or $30 but action table so sized up. Tilt Morocco guy ($350) on my left (stuck $500) calls. Another guy ($400) who is also heading towards Tilt road from middle position calls. Wd anyone else like to cold call? ???

4 to the flop. Pot $160
10d7d8s

I lead $45 w overpair gut shot.
Tilt Morocco guy calls, and his road buddy decides to ship his stack of $350.
This steaming guy #2 is at least a ‘thinking player’. Therefore, I feel the raise wd b smaller if he is super strong. It’s draw heavy flop, and I’m blocking straights. Also I hold the Jd w a gut shot. I’m basically putting this guy’s top range of pair+draw, and bottom something like a A9suited. F his draw, I call.
Tilt Moroccan Guy #1 snaps and rolls over what I’m blocking lol. The straight. 😵

Pot is $1200
Turn is Jh

River 777777777777777777777
🍰 blow out the fn candles!!!

After the hand never saw tilt #2 holdings, but he was a little down after both calls of his all-in. Which made me think a 9X or diamonds.

Behind the $40k pace but we have a pulse. We ain’t dead

Well, that settles it. You're definitely the best there ever was! Very well played.

"It's better to be lucky than good"

Hard to deny that he could very possibly be the 3rd greatest to ever grace the felt

i wasn't insinuating that the game is tough by any means. it clearly isn't since Rayz is seemingly beating it (real talk). my point was that if he studied a few hours per week he would up his hourly significantly, allowing him to raise the stakes, and subsequently live half-retired like he dreams about all day. he claims to study, but he definitely doesn't do much more studying than confirming stuff by independently thinking about it. #toogoodtostudy #hugeFRAGILEego #nodiscipline

Rayz is the greatest poker player of all time and a fairly large fish at the same time. the duality of man is fascinating!

really sick backyard though, that i cannot deny! obviously not a wise decision or investment with your life/bankroll (they're one and the same, like a true poker pro that's basically retired) though.

I straddle $6. Mp ($225)) recreation player with high vpip/little knowledge raises to $10.
$10 is legal here off a $6 straddle.
Another high vpip’r calls.

Pot $25
Flop 1074r
Mp 2x pot $50 w $175 behind.
Other guy folds.
Back on me w 108o
I cover. What’s the play?

You have top pair and a monster kicker facing a huge overbet.

Why do you think MP has little knowledge? Do you think he would do this with draws and air?

DidnÂ’t mean he has little knowledge.
I meant I hv little knowledge of him.
My bad

So @masq what is ur play here ?

Fold pre-flop. Fold flop.

I'm a nit.

I'm gonna have to call your bluff here. You can't answer Masq's questions so you're revising your statement. It's the same reason you've chosen to ignore a lot of other followup questions when asked about hand details. You are clicking buttons but trying to sound knowledgeable. Pay more attention at the tables and do some studying. Why don't you want to improve your game?

#fullofshit

You wouldn't call $4 into $30 to see a flop with T8o? I am super nitty but that seems like a leak.

Hero made a mistake saying the flop pot size was $25 - after his call it is $31-$34 (3 callers of $10 + $1 & $3; depends if 2nd guy was in a blind).

@mastaAces u are a piece of work.
I hv little knowledge of the player. Not that he has little knowledge. But, believe what u want.

I wdnt even respond to correct @masq if I meant the opposite. What’s the big deal?

U care to chime in on what u wd do facing 2x pot bet w top pair?

Dead sb $0 + bb $3 + 3 callers of $10 -$2 promo drop - 10% rake $3.
Pot = $28
