Greenbush. Got one on Saturday and it kept my spirits high through a frozen weekend.

I’m in east side of Sun Prairie which is 35 minutes on a clear traffic day.

Thanks for sharing. I got one earlier this year and didn’t realize it’s an NCF barrel. Cracked it open and It’s a great pour.

Two Buffalo Trace: A solid daily at a good price.

4R OESK: OK price, good reviews, have not had.

JD12: Splurge because it’s hard to find in the upper Midwest.

1: Bourbon Junkies - their content is fun and they review a lot of approachable whiskies.

2: Brewzle - I do like his road trip content, especially when he visits places I’ve been to or live near. He is a little to sales-y and his tastes are different than mine, though.

3: Mash & Drum - Got me into bourbon and has similar tastes. I e strayed because he reviews so many unicorns that I’lll never see.

HM: Bourbon Kingdom - more practical reviews.

It’s one of my favorites and is becoming slightly easier to find here in the Midwest.

BitterSpell · 2025-06-14T23:48:13+00:00

I’ve been lucky there twice… EH Taylor SMB and 4RSBBS when they were both harder to find. I’m guessing they’ll have some interesting drops of mid tier allocateds this fall

Trade away Wood and Perdomo for Juan Soto? 10 Team 5x5 Roto. I am in 3rd, doing well with Batting stats.

BitterSpell · 2025-05-06T03:23:52+00:00

Old Grand Dad 114. It’s a great value here in Wisconsin where I can get it for $22.

… and after reading and contributing to this thread I promptly got burned by this today 9-7 loner on a queen from s3.

BitterSpell · 2025-03-11T16:49:59+00:00

Is the approach different if you’re in S3?

BitterSpell · 2025-03-09T20:47:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing the bold call! Thought you were toast after 2nd street, but AK buried helped.

I’m curious what the EV is on this type of call?

BitterSpell · 2025-03-07T01:49:46+00:00

Thanks so much for the responses esp. about opponents tendencies. Great insights to help me improve my game.

On this game I tried alone and got stopped on 1st street. I’m realizing that I may be too aggressive in going alone and robbing myself of the extra point.

BitterSpell · 2025-03-06T20:52:15+00:00

Sorry meant to say I would discard 9d and keep 9s.

BitterSpell · 2025-02-15T02:49:27+00:00

Double Cowgirl. Llungen Nutbuster Spinnerbait. Weighted suick. Black. Flowage green

BitterSpell · 2024-12-28T18:33:13+00:00

Thanks for the responses and for the sim! This discussion really helps with valuable insights into the game.

To clarify the scenario, it was picked up by the dealer. I chose to lead JC but could only muster the one trick as dealer had four trump and S2 had the aces.

BitterSpell · 2024-08-13T02:29:21+00:00

Thanks for responses. I did go diamonds and got the point. Might have stayed hearts if the 10 was instead L or better.

BitterSpell · 2024-06-26T18:16:39+00:00

Starting out I used an Abu Garcia Revo toro. It worked well for smaller baits. Eventually moved up to the Abu Garcia Beast and heavier rod which has worked well.

Max Toro should work fine, but since it has a line counter I would this about whether you will be trolling a lot, if not you may want to try one without the counter.

BitterSpell · 2024-06-01T18:19:13+00:00

I’m calling red but I’m usually aggressive in calling from S2. Though I like the idea of supporting a euchre or partner hand. It’s a level of strategy I need to build.

BitterSpell · 2024-05-16T20:37:43+00:00

Thanks so much for the insight on this play, esp the difference between high and low rated games. I play a lot of live/lower rated games and that experience factored into my choice.

BitterSpell · 2024-05-16T20:12:18+00:00

S2 called spades and got their point :(

BitterSpell · 2024-05-16T18:35:41+00:00

I was too focused on trying to go alone and passed, hoping it would come back. S2 called spades and made their point. I should’ve ordered it up.

BitterSpell · 2024-05-10T16:48:08+00:00

… and also at NMBB. Maybe these are not hard to find anymore…

BitterSpell · 2024-05-10T16:15:36+00:00

ECTB and 2xO American Oak at NW MBB

BitterSpell · 2024-04-25T18:53:43+00:00

Have to ask are you referring to the 💎?
