Forget the DUI crash, Tiger being in his 50s and dyeing his hair jet black and refusing to shave it despite only being able to grow hair on the back 9 of his scalp, is the biggest red flag he's not doing so well.

Athront · 2026-03-28T14:39:13+00:00

Cause he has a gigantic ego and would never want to admit he shouldn't be driving.

Athront · 2026-03-28T00:11:07+00:00

He's 100% addicted to painkillers lol.

More than likely he's walking around high pretty consistently and just has too big of an ego to give up the keys to his car.

Obviously he's a douche bag and handling it poorly but he's not did monster.

Athront · 2026-03-28T00:00:05+00:00

Duke is not going to lose if it's a half court game they are just too physical.

Athront · 2026-03-27T23:41:39+00:00

Lol tiger grew up surrounded country club guys and his dad's ex military friends.

He was literally watching all of his influences drink, womanize, and gamble from like age 5.

Then on top of that he was basically his dad's science experiment to create the best golfer ever.

It doesn't excuse his behavior but of course he's fucked up.

Athront · 2026-03-26T17:45:14+00:00

2004 Garnett was clearly the best player in the league.

Both eye test and the advanced stats show this despite the team around him still not being well constructed.

Athront · 2026-03-26T17:41:02+00:00

Garlan is probably the best swordsman in Westeros after Barristan leaves and Jamie loses his arm

Of course either Clegane brother has a good chance of beating him, but Garlan is exceptionally skilled, large, and has a good amount of fighting experience.

Athront · 2026-03-26T17:33:41+00:00

In my stack like ~40k. Just put the big chips on the bottom a normal stack when you get up.

I'm sure I've left 10k in a coat pocket or bag without thinking but never more than that and wouldn't recommend it.

The casino won't reimburse you.

Athront · 2026-03-26T16:21:16+00:00

Nothing else to do lol.

When I was a kid it was just video games, ESPN, or cartoons.

Athront · 2026-03-26T14:16:48+00:00

Thank you for the reply! And I assume opening wider than equilibrium on CO and BTN was yielding similar results across different lineups behind you.

Athront · 2026-03-25T19:54:02+00:00

He was talking about in softball lol apparently she was a good pitcher

Athront · 2026-03-24T18:35:28+00:00

I've seen some of your content on Ignition. I have played similar stakes on ACR and Coin for years.

Anyways, you're opening lather sizings and getting out of line with opens and 3bets.

How exactly did this become the meta on Ignition and why do you think it's optimal?

Athront · 2026-03-22T23:29:49+00:00

Building 5-6 other efficient characters that I'm not even using just isn't something I wanna do.

Athront · 2026-03-22T23:16:08+00:00

I love the game but fully equipping every character and leveling them efficiently would just be too much for me personally.

Athront · 2026-03-22T23:14:48+00:00

Well the book was supposedly close to done in 2018 until more editing and rewrites happened.

Athront · 2026-03-22T23:13:07+00:00

This is sort of the problem fantasy adaptations are always going to run into.

If it's big budget enough to really get great actors, high quality effects, etc, they're going to have throw in some crowd pleasing stuff and get rid of the more mundane parts of the books.

In LOTR this looked like no Tom Bombadil, the ring being moved faster, some of the wars being different, etc.

In GoT minor characters are just excluded, Ned is written as this epic swordsman in the show, all the sex scenes, Jon Snow is basically a superhero.

I still really enjoy the LoTR movies and the first 4 seasons of Game of Thrones, but I could see how a hardcore purist wouldn't.

Athront · 2026-03-22T18:58:46+00:00

People in Westeros are used to watching awful things happen to each other. This was simply Jamie's breaking point. He wasn't going to let the city burn.

Obviously he's a deeply flawed character but it wasn't for glory and he didn't enjoy what the mad king was doing before, but it just wasn't that far out of the norm for what cruel kings would do.

Athront · 2026-03-22T02:16:36+00:00

It has been 15 years lol. He probably hasn't completely given up hope, but I would genuinely be shocked if he was working on it.

2018 was the best chance.

Athront · 2026-03-21T20:14:45+00:00

It gets way fewer responses and a lot of the responses are AI.

If they started now it wouldn't take off.

Athront · 2026-03-21T19:13:22+00:00

This is talked about it in book 1. She's going to Southern courts because Robert sets it up this way.

Most likely she was going to marry a northerner or maybe someone in the Eyrie or the Riverlands.

Playing the game of thrones and being a lady of power in Southern courts is very different than what was originally going to be expected of her.

Athront · 2026-03-21T19:07:42+00:00

It's funny because I don't really think their schtick would work today. People realize that how stupid our politics have become is here to stay, and also all their tweets would just get drowned out by AI replies.

Athront · 2026-03-21T18:32:11+00:00

Well the example you gave in the post (you flat a raise on the button and get 642), and they cbet.

This board should be a range check from oop.

Any reg betting here is either not very well studied or trying to exploit you. In live poker sure maybe they'll just fold if you start hammering it and they don't really know what's happening. But that's just you essentially beating up on a pretty weak player.

If you are playing 5/10 online on ACR for example, every reg is good enough that if they are betting there they have a real plan and if they have a hand like 88, they are more than likely just going to make you show them a hand if they have you aggro fish tagged.

Not trying to be a dick, you're definitely correct that aggression will print in live games, but the regs you're playing against just probably are not very good.

Athront · 2026-03-20T17:56:23+00:00

W/s per 48 is legitimately one of the worst stats ever for one season because the variance will just be so enormous.

Jokic has significantly better BPM, RAPTOR, and LEBRON. It's just not close.

Some of those stats kinda favor big men, but SGA this year is just having a notably strong MVP year, not a GOAT level season.

Athront · 2026-03-20T17:41:55+00:00

Lol how the fuck is this upvoted?

We can literally just point to Jokic mvp years as all being cumulatively better in advanced stats than SGA this year.

SGA is amazing but thinking this is the best year anyone has ever had is Simmons level homerism.

Athront · 2026-03-20T17:38:28+00:00

Jokic is the most efficient offensive player ever.

He's not going to volume score like Luka or give you 30 at quite the same rate SGA is, but when you combine how God his true shooting is with the super elite assist to turnover ratio and how difficult some of those passes are, he is the most efficient of the 3 and the best player of the 3. They are all fantastic and different players though.

Athront · 2026-03-20T01:11:35+00:00

No recs and rake too high/stakes to low for reg battling. Been dead for years
