It's a dry heat, right DMW? Kind of brutal here in Tucson too but not quite as bad as Phoenix. Still better than hurricane alley IMO.
yesterday set an all time high single day profit in sportsebetting of low 4 figures - mostly in mls soccer but some other stuff mixed in
today ended up giving a small chunk back - (can blame variance for a lot of it - got MUN at a terrible line when they were up 1-0 and then tripled the position when they were up 2-0 at an even worse line and then they imploded and lost 2-3)
the odds of a team being up 2-0 in the first half and not winning the game is like 5% to give an idea of how unlikely that is (and the odds i got were way better than that in addition to being way better than market consensus - guess espnbet is just too sharp 😀 )
anyway, still super proud of myself because it was the first time playing poker where i finally felt dominant at the table, not just better than the others and we see what happens with the variance but actually outplaying them
i checked back repeatedly when they had great handss
got through tons of bluffs - even multi way
got really thin value, and overbet a bunch in spots where i would get called
even got a woman to call a $50 bet on a $10 pot where my hand was pretty disguised and i figured she wouldn't fold top pair
favorite hand was opening A2s on the cutoff, button 3bets me with a minclick so i call
flop comes QTTr
i xr and he snap folds because that guy never in a million years has AQ/KQ/Tx - only legit threat is QQ and i don't think QQ cbets for pot
really feels like i got my groove back, still made mistakes which i can improve upon but first time since my heyday where i really felt confident and in control and with a plan of attack knowing what i was going to be doing with various boards etc
yeah last time i was in kc i went to play some nl cash and they asked me if i wanted to late reg for the $100 tourney they had going and despite knowing the rake would be insane i snap accepted because i knew how bad the pool was and they did not disapoint
obviously lost when the chip leader shoving blind every hand has his 48o crack my AQs but what you gonna do?
If this was the bubble or a big payjump, the 48o shove might have been justified and the AQo might have been marginal at best.
it was about half an hour into the tourney 😀

True, no one wants to leave and go into the humidity or the floodity.
Clearly for the weather people who can mix the adjectives around and make it appear that things are a bit different each day.
Very is misused here as we are in the "lower triple digits." Weather people should try out unseasonably.
it's unlikely to live up to the original, but we're trying to revive fat & blokes which is where we as a group pool some monies and then propose and vote on things to wage upon with it

the original was some of the most fun i had here
Real G's move in silence like Lasagna.
so I got my first actual ban yesterday. I noticed that one of Limon's posts in his AMA thread didn't load so I asked "did the botmod get it". And I got the ban for "questioning the mod bot". 😃
Garick - hope they don't get me again for this one.
the mod bot is brutal. it just deletes 95% of my posts now. lol

I'm preparing to move from a very generous climate to the humidity and floodity of Florida. My parents live there who are getting older and there are some health issues with my Dad so the move is mostly due to a sense of family obligations. No state income tax will be nice though.
Snakebit Niners strike again. This season is killing me.
Got tickets to Oasis at Rose Bowl. Hope they can not break up by then
I bet those weren't cheap, even without the "dynamic pricing" that the UK tour folks had to deal with. Hope you get an epic show, either from the rock and roll, or from the bareknuckle boxing.
Over/under on the brothers going all Jane's Addiction on stage?

Wow, there's a Dynasty HH thread from yesterday here, WTF?!?!

They certainly weren't cheap but weren't awful either. I got 2nd level seats for ~175 each. The lower level and floor level were in excess of $300.
FWIW I think this is probs their best song even if I'm sure it's not on the iPod
And I'm not sure it's even the best song called "Slide Away" by a Brit Pop band incredibly
I did a deep dive on Oasis a year or so ago. Don't have the iPod in front of me but I'm guessing like maybe half a dozen songs made the cut?
I'm typically incredibly disappointed when I do deep dives on bands, especially those whom I'm fairly familiar with a certain period of their discography and so I deep dive the unfamiliar... only to mostly sigh / yuck. Recently did a deep dive on U2 post Achtung Baby... there's like 3 iPodable songs (all of which I already knew). Ditto for (close your eyes) R.E.M. post ~Automatic for the People.

Tickets for their Aus tour are on sale next week. Currently only one show in Sydney and one in Melb so it’ll be basically impossible to get them. I’d snap accept $175 US but guessing they’ll be a lot more than that. Also that they will release more dates because it’s a long way to come for only 2 shows
Yeah, that price isn't bad at all. I'd snap pay that. They coming to Atlanta? Might have to see if I can couch surf at Skippy's.

Not sure if GG is old so iPod is the name he has used for 20 years even though it's not technically correct now, or if he's old and has a 10 year old iPod for music because he hates the cloud (from another old man, in case it wasn't obvious).
