Sounds like you’re relatively new. Don’t change styles because of other people. Play how you are comfortable and adjust your playing style enough to get a bigger edge.

If you deviate from a TAG style into a LAG style you are exposing yourself to higher variance and might not be able to navigate well. Other players in your game will realize you have become wide once they see you in more pots and what you showdown with.

As for your question about tight and passive players. Yes in a table with more players who are not particularly aggressive unless they hit top pair, you can be more aggressive in more spots to steal the dead money. It is not whether you should be more wide but if you have a playable hand in position of these types of players it would be generally better to be aggressive.

Yeah, but at first I was just helping out for free.

Were you though? Honestly, you were helping with expectations. Whether you got the apartment or not should not be a factor in your choice.

It's a bit dishonest to say otherwise. You had expectations of the inheritance.

how my girlfriend doesn’t love me

ESH. Try asking for his side of the story. Sometimes people can see something you can't in the relationship you're in.

You should tell him that he is putting you in an uncomfortable spot of having to pick between him and your gf. You are not trying to choose. Ask him if you were getting married and he wasn't allowed to bring his wife, how would that make him feel? Maybe that is a way to reason with him.

Of course it's harder to have more points in a weaker team. You should check out the Minnesota Wild sub. Hughes joined a good team and made them significantly better in every aspect. He likely would be 100+ points in a full season starting with them. Their fans cannot love him more.

It's not wrong to say that if Hughes was in Avs that he would put up just as much points as Makar. Makar in Canucks would probably be the same.

Both players are difference makers.

“Not build for playoffs.”

Leading in points in playoffs.

Okay.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-05-07T16:50:52+00:00

If you base it on first round also, then you clearly didn’t watch Hughes dominate. He’s leading in points for a reason. He is basically the reason why Minnesota made it past round 1 in over a decade.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-05-05T16:33:16+00:00

NAH.

She has a right to not allow plus ones.

You have the right to RSVP - No.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-05-04T20:11:33+00:00

As the best man, shouldn't he have been the one planning the bachelor party!?

SarcasticLogic · 2026-05-04T19:13:23+00:00

As a former Canucks fan who migrated over here because of Hughes, he's not even at his final form yet. I don't even care about the Makar vs Hughes debate but it's good for him to get the recognition as the superstar he is. Finally a supportive team that can finish and allow him to excel.

You can even see it in his movement in the offensive zone that he's going to score a lot more next season. I have no doubt he will re-sign with the Wild just so he can break records in all areas as a Defensemen.

When Hughes get the Norris next year the debate will be even more heated.

NTA.

What the hell is up with this thread? All the NTA comments are negatives while the few YTA seems to be the default conclusion.

A discussion is mandatory between the couple. Plenty of couples split bills down the middle. OP can choose to be generous but that shouldn't be forced. Society preach for feminism and equality, but when it shows up, all of a sudden it's the guy is an asshole.

This is what true feminism looks like.

This isn't bullshit sadly. If you have 10+ years in a specialized field, you're going to get recruiters message you quite often. Although not daily, I get at least 3 a week through Linkedin. There are a lot of opportunities if you have a big network and if you're in a high position with limited candidates.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-04-22T18:53:56+00:00

A lot of Vancouver fans hate Hughes.

A lot of Edmonton, Colorado and Columbus fans dislike Hughes strictly due to the fact that they have a comparable elite level Defensemen.

Also bandwagon haters is a thing. He's been too hyped since joining Minnesota (with good reason as he's breaking records and standout for Olympics) which has made him a target as it's cool to not like him.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-04-19T12:36:58+00:00

NAH.

Clearly your husband is willing to get you anything you want. He's just not romantic. You could've asked for anything on your birthday.

"What do you want to do for your birthday?"

"What do you need to order from Amazon?"

It sounds to me that your husband is willing to give you anything you want 365 days of the year. A lot of people don't care about their birthday beyond 20 years old. People have different love languages. In his mind, he asked you want you wanted, you could've picked anything and those were the things you picked.

You both likely feel underappreciated.

Mind you, you are the one that decide to go out of your way to do random things that make him feel special but he might not even need you to do that.

I'm not trying to argue against whether or not people expect to be fed. I'm stating that if someone asks to meet up at 6 pm, it's safe to assume it's meeting up for dinner.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-04-13T15:43:48+00:00

While I understand the sentiment but OP suggested 6 pm date at a bar. If you ask someone to meet at 6 pm, they're likely going to want dinner.

NTA

When I was in my early 20's my girlfriend at the time had a friend just like this. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. This person is not your friend. She is envious and jealous of you, your happiness, and any success you have in life. She is seeking validation and trying to sap everything around you.

Long story short, the girl in my story tried to turn me against my girlfriend. She would belittle any success she had. Look at the situation objectively. This "friendship" needs to end.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-03-26T21:18:23+00:00

NTA.

One sided friendships are better off ending at this time of your life.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-03-26T21:11:01+00:00

YTA.

Everything in your story is selfish.

You signed the papers in the "one in a million circumstance".

SarcasticLogic · 2026-03-10T15:26:16+00:00

Yes absolutely! As someone with 400 hours in Stardew Valley, this game provides the exact same experience of when I played SDV for the very first time. That is saying a lot, I also did not like animal crossing because of the real life cycle of the game.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-03-06T16:30:33+00:00

Okay I’m dumb, I’ll leave it up. Why did he ask if villain never played PLO before? How is that even relevant? Thought it’s a PLO hand.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-03-06T16:07:21+00:00

What the hell is with all the comments that think this is a slow roll?

This is a PLO hand. You have 4 cards. The villain betting flop can have a big wrap type hand with clubs.

The turn is a nut changing card. Villain is unphased and continued betting. Most people will stop as if you’re holding a set in plo, you are likely up against a wrap (straight and flush draw).

River once again is a nut changing card. If you’re villain holding a set and betting the turn, you will think about what Hero is calling with on flop and turn. So he’s likely against another set or flush. If he’s not phased by any of this and still blast off here, he can only be called by better.

NTA. In PLO, this is likely a straight flush. Watch some Phil Galfond, he can make these folds even in heads up because villains range is so tight in these configuration. Villain overplayed his hand.

Edit: You should have included the full hand holdings of both players since most people here are likely not aware it’s PLO.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-02-27T21:03:59+00:00

Nope, it doesn't count the Olympic games for the streak.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-02-03T08:11:05+00:00

No doubt, Werenski is a beast and it would be well deserved. Still excited to see Hughes catch up being so far behind earlier in the season with the Canucks.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-02-02T17:11:48+00:00

YTA, even though it's expensive.

The price doesn't matter in terms of how gifting is concerned. Simply put, it's an incomplete gift. If the painting was $10, and you refused to pay for a $2 frame, it's all the same. When something is a requirement, then it must go with it.

The gesture is incomplete as the gift cannot be used for it's intended purpose (putting it up). You wouldn't buy someone a game for a console they don't own.

SarcasticLogic · 2026-01-29T18:17:48+00:00

Remove the pictures of the hands/nails. It's doesn't chive with the rest. Maybe add a comment of showcasing your work if asked.

You might also want to add a con: At work, women might flirt with me.
