Played a 5 hour 20 minute session yesterday and shipped a $1 win. Don't be jelly, it's unbecoming.

Found myself playing plolololol again. This is becoming a habit.
Question for the plolol peeps because I never heard (or realized) this as I’m still very green into the world of plololol….
In a casino 2/2 w BTN straddle to 5. SB acts first, they round up to $5 increments here when potting
Sb 20 pot 20
Bb fold (so 5 for calc purposes) pot 25
HJ calls 20 pot 45
CO calls 20 pot 65
BTN pot 105 pot 170
SB calls 105 pot 275
HJ pots pot 275+105 call = 380 + raise of 380 = 760
Could be wrong I guess but this is how I learned it

I double counted SB and HJ chips above, but there's no reason that any particular chip in the pot wouldn't be counted
Sb 20 pot 20
Bb fold (so 5 for calc purposes) pot 25
HJ calls 20 pot 45
CO calls 20 pot 65
BTN pot 105 pot 170
SB calls 105 pot 255
HJ pots pot 255+85 call = 340 + raise of 340 = 680
Surely it’s 85 (he already has 20 of the 105 in) plus the new pot total = 340 so total bet 425?
that's counting the 85 call twice, I think.
It would be 425 in the pot, if HJ clicked it back with a min-raise. But HJ pots, so HJ's pot sized raise is the pot coming to HJ (255) plus HJ's call of the raise to HJ (85) = 340 * 2
I think I got this all wrong and would like to retract my above posts.
Playing 3rd orbit from the sb and have AQo
Mawg Utg who I saw 3! Once without a caller and fold everything else opens to 15 co who is a rec calls
I opt to overcall
ATx flop I x/c $25 cent (so does co)
T turn checks around
6x river co bets 25 I call, utg folds I win vs weak ace
Utg doesn’t show but is visibly upset I just cold called and calls me all kinds of things and then racks up and leaves
I’m guessing he had queens or kings but the tilt equity is dope
3 bet that from the SB you dirty nit
Or fold, you don't have to play every hand.
3! SQZ vs. weak player / Fold vs. truly competent or tight
btw feely,
Ever since I found out that Australians call breakfast "brekky" that's what I call it now because it sounds awesome. Who the **** wants to sound out "breakfast", especially in the morning when you're tired.
McMuffin: Let's get some brekky old chap.
Old Chap: Lettuce shall McMuffin.
got it confirmed from his friend he had KK
made some huge laydowns today - had a losing session but should have lost a lot more flopping top pair several times in 3! pots and finding the fold vs 79s two pair and 55 for a set
it was right all but once where one guy led out with mid pair, i called with top pair and gutshot and another guy 3! large as a bluff and the OR called so i folded and mid pair held up so feel pretty good about all my laydowns

I learned how to do this and more in Sun Tzu's The Art of Folding.

I am with feely.
Yet I have lived in winter states for my entire life… and only with mountains for 5 of those years. Flatland cold is nut low
There's nothing between you and the north pole except a barbed wire fence. Open flat is just plain dull. I went to Tucson this week for the first time in over a decade. Outside the city is nothing but flat dirt and you could see only the wind whipping up walls of dust the entire time.
been in pac nw last few months and because i met someone i think i'm sadly here to stay in this hellhole of a climate for some time to come - it rains like every day and everyone is just full of copium talking about "yeah but we'll have some sunbreaks throughout the day" and "oh just wait until summer when the weather is nice"
Somewhere along my travels to Wichita and back, I saw a sign with "Dak" on it. Failed to look further into it.
They're right, though, rick. When the sun does bother to come out in Seattle, it's pretty great--mid 70s, spectacular lush green scenery. Those four weeks/year don't make up for the rest of it though.
Pick your poison. Until mid March I had not seen rain in like 5 months. And even a "rainy day" usually means two hours starting in the late afternoon.
Only a raging h0m0 would root a Sheila before brekky instead of getting straight to it and sucking down a longneck of VB.
Finally done with the last of the jewelry projects that have been eating my life over the last few months.

Congrats to Wonder Woman and consort.
Definitely jelly of this.
I'm guessing my life circumstances will change in another decade to the point where the wife and I could at least consider moving somewhere very different for our retirement years. Waterfront, or at the very least waterview, would be high on my list of nice-to-haves... if we could swing it.

Are those big Canadian lakes in the movies off limits to construction? It seems as though you could go far enough north that no one is trying to stop you. Although that would be more of a snowbird thing.
So says Big Colorado Tourism. Google AI says 252.
Phoenix is listed at 300, but I think that might be a bit low. I'd be very surprised if we get two months' worth of overcast (anything over 'partly cloudy'?) per year.
We actually do get quite a few overcast days. In the awful season there is only a tiny bit of sun but it remains 107 F.
There's plenty of flat, boring, sprawly places in the Denver metro area. I live closer to the foothills and get visitors like this at my house
Looks like the ocelot from Archer.
my buddy is trying to hire a project manager for a construction job
it pays 125k and is based in la area
he asks them in an interview what 1% of 1 million is
they are allowed pen and paper
not one has been able to answer it
IS that the ONLY qualification?
1% of $1M is my bonus on every project.
Available for hire. By LA do you mean Los Angeles or Louisiana?
It's never been so hot that I wish I was in a swamp.
I almost can't believe this.
But then again take your average intelligence person --> half of the people are dumber than him/her.
*median.
I remember in a store a few years back having a bill come to something like $10.20. I had loose coins but only a $20 bill so I gave her $20.20 and the girl behind the register huffed, got out a calculated and plugged in $20.20 - $10.20 to work out what change to give me
I expect her to count out $9.80 and then push my 20 cents back.
I double counted SB and HJ chips above, but there's no reason that any particular chip in the pot wouldn't be counted
Sb 20 pot 20
Bb fold (so 5 for calc purposes) pot 25
HJ calls 20 pot 45
CO calls 20 pot 65
BTN pot 105 pot 170
SB calls 105 pot 255
HJ pots pot 255+85 call = 340 + raise of 340 = 680
See above, there's a better way to do it. If the pot rule ignored the blinds and said that the first bet must be to 20 then everyone's life is easier in every hand.
In the middle of doing some morning errands yesterday I luckily managed to catch Ovi pass Gretzky for the career NHL goals record. Didn't think that would ever happen. Pretty sure Ovi is a cyborg from the future, especially with the year he is having at his age and after a broken leg.

Ran top boat into a better hand for the second time in a ~few sessions. Over my last 4 months / 154 hours @ lol live 1/3 NL, I'm up $35. Winning! This game can test you some times.

Little known fact, but Ovechkin and LeBron are actually the same person.

Not a robot, just a spy.
i find it amazing that the GP is identical for Ovi and Gretzky - 1487
