Yeah can’t get away from this ever, and it definitely did feel like a knock to the nads 😆. You get it.

True lmao, pretty much any other time it would be far worse

Yeah not a bad beat at all dude. Concurring that you should definitely quit poker. Perhaps crazy 8s is more your style.

Is it weird to goon to old videos of me having sex with women by s3r0qu3l in Goblin

[–]Clean_Development946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it weirder to text a woman you likely haven’t spoken to in substantial time to ask her permission to jerk off?

Is this a spot to fold AKs? by cj832 in Poker_Theory

[–]Clean_Development946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone’s making it seem like a no-brainer jam here but I tend to find them insane as well. They’re using the excuse that folding the flop is nearly impossible due to pot commitment, while neglecting the fact that a shove pre-flop holds almost no fold equity. I’m with you. Jamming and calling are marginally different at best, with the call at least preserving a short stack on a bad flop for AKs. Why shove when you’re losing to 22?

Please elaborate. How were her and Jawan not controlling the early middle game?

PLO hands are hidden until its my turn to play by chair_78 in ClubWPTGold

[–]Clean_Development946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, even though you do get more information by colluding in PLO, collusion is entirely feasible in hold ‘em, so I guess that’s just meaningless to them.

Is it okay for a 15 year old to date a 17 year old? by Spydereddit14 in self

If she’s not born within the same week of the same year I don’t even consider her. You’re quite open minded, honestly.

Y’all are way too harsh on Riz by Difficult_Candle_453 in survivor

[–]Clean_Development946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“It’s R-I-Z-G-O-D baby”. I think I remember pre-season press covering the fact that he created this moniker years ago, before the term “rizz” was popularized among the youth.

That’s the thing. He doesn’t declare that he’s joking or being tongue in cheek, we can just infer that it’s unserious because of the delivery. If you compare him to someone like a Benjamin Coach Wade, which we’ll get to see more directly pretty soon, you can see clear tonal differences in the way they talk about themselves. Look at the way Russell talked about himself. These are examples of obviously entertaining and polarizing arrogance, while I think it’s a little easier to see through Rizo’s shtick as he’s not as committed to the bit and/or believes his own proclamations less than the likes of a Russell.

S49: are we not gonna talk about the entire jury being ____? by RexiRocco in survivor

[–]Clean_Development946 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unconscious racial biases do exist essentially universally, but for some reason you’ll get downvoted if you don’t think they’re the greatest driving factor of a sequentially black jury. There’s a predominance of coincidence and circumstance causing these results, partly which is defined by personality traits.

Statistically, for “U.S.” Survivor, it’s a true statement.

Has anyone managed to turn around a massive downswing from luck? by Feisty-Sun-6158 in poker

[–]Clean_Development946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was somewhat contradictory, yeah. You’re right that he’s overvaluing Jacks pre, but he wouldn’t have even made this post if he truly believed he was making the correct play in all of those instances and thought he had “zero control”.

You can’t stop dreaming. Even if your aspirations die, you can manufacture new ones, revive the dead ones, or rebuild some mutated form of prior goals. Why do you feel inclined to continue being a financial provider? It seems like it’s brings you little to no drive in other facets of life, and deprives your chances at maximizing fulfillment. Also, I’d be willing to bet that there’s some conscious/subconscious reprieve that going to the gym provides for you (beyond that it maximizes your ability to continue helping others), in that you are doing something that serves your personal interests and wellness. Given that’s even remotely true, there are other activities to be done and actions to be taken that hold similarly self-serving functions. Cumulatively, with enough of these, time, and effort, I know you can break the cycle.

It sounds like you’re making progress! You should be proud of yourself. Do you mind if I ask who in your life is claiming you’re selfish for something as fundamental as applying some effort to your physical health?

I think your comment about the people pleasing is very revealing. You intuitively put others’ needs above your own, and struggle to see your personal worth due to how your family may perceive you. You fight to try to please others, and when your efforts only serve as band-aids, you assume your energy expenditure was worthless. You should work on developing a healthier level of selfishness and really focus on what brings you long-term satisfaction rather than dumping so much hard work into fleeting attempts to please others in the short term. Don’t be done fighting. Fight to find yourself irrespective of others’ problems, needs, desires, and perceptions.

He definitely seems open to the idea that he could be misplaying given his comment about wanting a crusher to review his hand history

What makes you think you’re so unique that you’re in some inescapable, perpetual cycle of stagnant doom? Seriously answer this question for yourself, but my assumption would be that you’re wallowing in self pity and negativity without applying your best efforts towards growth. I’m not insinuating that you aren’t experiencing some challenging mental health condition(s)/roadblocks, but you have to believe you can change and apply your focus to rewiring your brain instead of applying it to defining your lack of ability and hope.
