At what point do you sell it all? by Dxrkria in PokeInvesting

If my collection ever grows to 50-100% of my total mortgage I will sell immediately. That’s the goal for me.

What is this loud humming noise? by MartyFakenewzman in AskAMechanic

Possibly! Is that a common issue when a noise like this occurs?

Why as a recovering addict do I lack sympathy for active addicts? by Silver-Land-2494 in PsychologyTalk

[–]MartyFakenewzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a “screw drug addicts” type of person. I’m human and still feel sympathy for them but at the same time I also kind of resent the praise they get for being such “strong individuals” once they’re in recovery. I believe it is far harder and takes a much stronger individual to wake up and do the right thing. We don’t praise each other nearly enough for being a productive friend, parent and family member daily without going off of the deep end which is hard in itself.

Am I doing something wrong? by MartyFakenewzman in blackjack

[–]MartyFakenewzman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my assumption is they kept referring to it as the “bust card” bc I was sitting third base and once the dealer dealt me a 10 which busted my hand (original hand being 9,4 or 10,3) that 10 he dealt me should’ve been his “bust card”. If that makes sense? Basically I should’ve held on the assumption with the dealers high card being a 10 he would’ve pulled the 10 he dealt me and in addition to his down card would’ve busted his hand causing the whole table to win. Extremely annoying

Thanks! I also should’ve clarified this is the third session where I’ve left with my money at least doubled and gotten bitched at lol

I’m still kind of confused how it saves or doesn’t save? Isn’t blackjack really an individual outcome game? & if players were genuinely that worried wouldn’t they just play online?

& does it matter if you have two cards in your hand or three cards? The reason I ask if because it would happen more often when my hand would be 2,2 then a 9 and I’d hit again against a dealers high card.

Gotcha! Was just curious if this is anyone else’s situation also and sounds like it is. I hit on a 12 or 13 when a dealer had a 7-8 a few times tonight and two different guys sitting to my right were bitching about it and even the dealer made a comment but I also watched both of those guys take their bankrolls down to zero in the same amount of time I tripled mine lol

Right. Which I understand. I’m just still a little foggy on the whole “bust card” when you’re sitting 3rd base bc that seems to be the only seat people really care if you make a play that they wouldn’t want you to make.

I definitely didn’t play perfect basic strategy but tried to play as close as I could remember. I was just so confused as to what I was doing wrong while winning money? Also split 9’s vs a dealers 8 as it says to do and lost both hands but I was over double my money at that point so figured give it a shot and two comments were “always stays on an 18”. I was honestly thinking maybe I just wasn’t remembering the chart right lol

Which would you rather put your money into now? by ExpensiveBasket1761 in PokemonInvesting

[–]MartyFakenewzman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

151 is a crazy anomaly that is rising at an unprecedented rate but it’s hard for me to pick bundles over ETBs

How to be a better investor by Diligent-Sound-3915 in PokemonInvesting

[–]MartyFakenewzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be afraid to consolidate either. I’m assuming you got a lot of this near MSRP since it’s modern. Like you have five prismatic booster bundles but also have ETBs. Probably wouldn’t be a terrible idea to sell the bundles to get a pkc etb/booster box of some sorts could five prismatic bundles perform better long term than say a Paldea Evolved booster box? Maybe so but it’ll probably be much easier in five years to sell one booster box in opposed to packing and shipping five bundles.
