My iPhone4 I typically charged ~every other night or so. But 99% of usage is the occasional text / poker stats update and of course tip calculations.

there's an easy shortcut
look at the pretax amount, move the decimal and then double it and adjust from there
or if you live where they do a tax that's an easy multiple of your standard tip size use that ie if the tax is 6% just tip 3x the tax and adjust up down as necessary
now your phone can last 4 days without a charge
It's relatively common, especially in the Navy, and is most likely a combination of those factors. On the one hand, they have an advantage as they are literally raised to prep for service and have access to great mentorship. On the other, they definitely get treated differently at lower ranks and get opportunities other people without their pedigrees would be unlikely to get. They probably get a bit of at least unconscious positive bias from promotion boards as well, and perhaps even consciou
If I recall correctly, in the factual biography Top Gun, maverick got flack for being Duke Mitchell's son, yea?
V is always betting the turn and often betting the river. Those helpful cards might cost us. It would be an interesting model to investigate a flop reraise to see if we should fold.
It does seem to hard to balance though. You are likely never taking that line with AK.
Solver+ said the fold to the 4! jam is correct. My 3! was, in fact, hot garbage. The initial bet was also marginal as the solver likes checking back OTF 53/47.
You're correct, I'm not taking that line with AK. I would with with a set, though. But I really only have 1 set on that board from UTG.
is it a thing in the military where you know such and such who's dad is such and such and there's resentment towards them?
wait, is that a real thing?
does that mean when i finally meet gman I'll need to address them and Mr and Mrs commandant?
Absolutely a real thing.
I feel like you see it more in Army and Marines though. Air Force I would imagine has almost none of that, but I could be wrong.
But I blame the husbands for allowing that silliness to exist in the first place.
Some dinosaurs still do that, but it's super rare in the Air Force these days. My wife doesn't even use my last name, much less my rank. But my boss's wife in 2017-18 still did that ish
wow, that's amazing, i somehow never heard about that
Funniest thing I ever heard was a Lt who worked for me who was married to another Lt and got dragged to an Officer's Spouses Club event by a friend. There they heard two Lt's wives arguing over which of them got to plan the Christmas party, based on their husbands' seniority. Mind you, these husbands were both the same (very junior) rank and their wives were arguing over which of their husbands had the put the rank on first and was therefore senior to the other.
Still, as I said, that ish is rare. Even as early as the mid-50s, the Officer's Wife's Handbook (of course there was an Officer's Wife's Handbook) pointed out to spouses that their husbands had rank, not them. And that was in an era where the couple might get introduced as "Captain and Mrs. John Smith."
there were two things my grandfather who was a pilot in WWII pacific never trusted
1 any bureaucratic institution (except the VA, amazing how free healthcare can change your perspective)

I worked in an army hospital in Germany during the Vietnam years - we got a directive no more speed (amphetamine and cogeners)) to be dispensed. I recall fondly the wives coming in, getting denied, with the reaction "you can't do that my husband is a captain, major, general" and so forth. Sorry lady :-)
oh man, i didn't no meth was included, how do i sign up to be an army wife?

No way that cures hangovers.
I didn't realize John Smith was a captain.
My best hand today. Not every day you get to overbet K-high into a check-call.
$5/5. EP raises to $20. HJ calls. Hero calls K♠T♠ from SB.
Flop Q♠J♣6♥ (pot $65)
Checks around.
Turn 5♦ (pot $65)
Hero bets $90. EP folds. HJ calls.
River Q♣ (pot $245)
Hero checks. HJ bets $100. Hero calls. HJ mucks.
I had a fun one tonight at $2-$100.
New guy comes to our table. Mid-30s. Has a rack of twenty $2 chips and two $100 chips. Okay. He walks into the Big Blind. I’m UTG and raise AJ to $8 and only he calls.
Before the flop comes out he announces he’s betting $2 dark. Flop AT6r. I shrug and call.
Turn is a 7. And he throws out one of his $100 chips lol.
(Do I trust my “chip denomination population reads”? You know it! I raise to $200, expecting this kinda player to GAMBLE if he has literally any outs, and yep, he calls, River is an 8, ick, he goes all-in for his last $30 and of course I call and rake win when he tables 85o lol.)
POW day at Breck today. 8" at the stake.... more like 5"-6" on the runs. Fairly light and fluffy too!
