 I believe a goat should be allowed its freedom, but not at the expense of a mule that cannot escape.  Porch, basement, or backyard.

Where you playing poker?

@trainwreck66

Now, casinos near my home in south florida.  Normally 2/5 or 5/10 NLH.  Not much of a tourney guy, used to be when I was younger, will play the occasional big tourney.  Played the WPT Main event last year at the Hard Rock.  Roughly 60 spots from the cash.....fucker tanked and called my all in with KQ offsuit if you can believe that..........and I had AA.  He flopped trip Qs.  Fucking brutal.  Doesn't even make me blink anymore, after 25-30 years of playing poker there isn't a beat that makes me flinch.  

Used to own a couple underground rooms in Dallas area.  Played a lot of poker there as well.  Also over the border in Oklahoma at Winstar and Choctaw.

Cut my teeth as a teenager in the mid 90s sneaking underage into the now defunct Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.  That place was a national treasure.  I have never licked an ashtray, but I feel like it would taste like the Taj Mahal poker parlor air.

Never online or just live ?

@trainwreck66

 I used to play online years ago,  Pokerstars, ultimatebet, Full Tilt....

Then while I was running rooms we also had some poker apps.  PokerBros, etc.....that we could take a small rake from and collect and distribute the money....

But personally I much prefer to play live.....the poker table is like a 2nd home to me.   I imagine once I am retired I will spend most of my time there.  

Here's a good story about why I don't play online....once I was playing at a table on Full Tilt with Phil Ivey.  I have played live with a lot of the people that you see playing on TV, but this was the first time that I knew of that I was playing with a famous player online.  Johnny Chan was at my 1st table in the 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event that I satellited into.  I was table 85 seat 2, Chan showed up late, table 85 seat 7 I believe.  Bobby Bonilla was at the table directly to our left lol.  Prolly used that recurrent Mets contract money to pay the entry fee. Ivey owned a piece of FullTilt I just never played with him before.  

I get in a hand with him, I have JJ.  Started the hand with over $1200.  Ivey had around $3k. He raised pre flop, I flat call.  Flop comes J, 10, 2.....1 club.  The 10 of clubs

I am in position.  He checks, I bet, he raises.  I tank a bit, and then I go all in.  He fucking snap calls me.  Pot is roughly $2500.  

Turn is 3 of clubs, river A of clubs.  So now the board is J....10c.....2.....3c.....Ac

This guy showed 5c/7c, and went runner runner for a flush.   I could have thrown my computer.  Snap call?  How?  WTF?  I mean Phil at least make it believable and tank a little, maybe tell me you thought I was bluffing in the chat box, just a snap call eh?  Nope.  You cheated.  If he had 8/9clubs, Q/K clubs, 9/Q clubs, basically ANYTHING but 5/7c, I would not feel this way.  You also don't call a bluff catching hand unless you have at least Ace high.  

That was, to this day, that last hand I played online.  I refuse to believe a guy like Phil Ivey, in an online game, without much knowledge of me as a player, would call off that much of a stack with nothing at all, unless he knew what was coming.  Now this was roughly 2007 or so....maybe 2008.  They shut down in 2015/2016 I believe, due to being a Ponzi Scheme of some sort, but there was quite a bit of talk about the owners cheating, and there were apparently systems in place which allowed them to see your cards, and I think I was a victim of that.  I am sure not all online poker games are rigged, but that hand still burns me, and I just don't trust them.  So for me until a further change of heart, it is live poker or no poker at all, which is sad, because I am probably leaving money on the table.

For the record, I am not part of the "sports are rigged" crowd at all, this is a different animal entirely.

@JDD

 Holy shit!

Yeah, they got ya hoss.F'kin cheaters.

@JDD

Pokerstars is still rigged. I know exactly what you are saying 

when you dont listen to your own capping

That was a dominant 1st half by Washington. 

@undermysac

 The most noticeable thing to me about the Commies is how smooth their zone runs are.  Their runs sometimes take AWHILE to develop and their backs are being patient.  Really nice to watch from an offensive standpoint.  

And Rivera is obviously sticking to them.......I don't expect them to win, but hopefully cover

They are a sneaky solid team.  They covered for me against the Vikes. Won for me on the ML vs Indy.  Beat GB (but I only took the points because I have no balls lol)

I have them +11 tonight, hopefully this is 4 weeks in a row the Commies pay me.  I already jumped on them early for next week -2.5.  I think that line moves.

I bet the over also.  I never bet totals.  Cmon Kryptonite!

@undermysac

 They just said Wentz can come back tomorrow......if they pull this off, or even almost pull it off.......I would be surprised if Rivera hands the keys back to Carson

That would be coaching suicide

I think you said that you grabbed Wash -2.5 vs Houston, that will re open -3 easy

@undermysac

 yup.

Bink over.  

I am actually hoping philly wins, a good buddy of mine teased them down to -.5 with over and KC......

Hopefully commies dont implode in the 4th like they did vs Minny last week
