If WSOP was covering the Knicks game they'd have cut to a clip of a guy ordering a hot dog while the last 30 seconds happened and then reported it to us 93 minutes later.
@25kfantasy post, don't have a "schedule" but playing bit less than previous few years. Still be in most of the 10ks but guessing a bit less volume in smaller and higher stuff.
“that was really special… it was magic. each time i felt ethan looking away, i would look at him and vice versa. i almost fell in love with him right there, but then rick said cut.”

I have been thinking about this a lot recently myself and is also something I have been trying to work on. Turns out trying to be the emotionless robot is not healthy for life outside of poker.
When you play poker for a living it trains you to put your feeling aside so you can keep playing well, not letting your emotions effect your decisions. This is very important for a players bottom line. However, recently I've realized that being in the habit of muting your emotions isn't healthy in many other areas of your life. Sure it can give you resilience throughout the day but avoiding these emotions eventually leads to you feeling numb to a lot of things in life. Recently, I'm trying to focus on them more and really feel them and then move on. Maybe at the table isn't the ideal times for this but eventually you need to process these emotions. I'm already finding that being in tune with your mind and body and not shoving feelings to the side definitely has benefits.
Beating a dead horse here but this is just hilarious to me. Site advertising itself as basically a dao run by the players themselves is now scamming all token holders by stopping promised redemptions of tokens based on fee metrics and creating an amm where the market decides the value of the token (hint: zero), after advertising that this was the exact model that they wouldn’t use.
Congrats on all who took a check to shill this garbage.
An anecdote I cherish is Mandy Patinkin once asked Rob Reiner what The Princess Bride was about. Reiner said it’s about a grandfather telling his grandson that the most important thing in in the world is love. I think that’s beautiful.
One of my favorite things in the whole world was finding out that Billy Crystal improvised the whole accent thing and when he asks Meg Ryan to repeat “I would be proud to partake of your pecan pie” she laughs and looks right at Rob Reiner off camera, but he just kept rolling

“You can’t play with a solver based strategy. You’re just going to get run over.”
I would like to back the solver.
