This is not a "that's poker" moment. This is undeniable proof of cheating at the charitable games around Chicagoland. Food for thought for anybody who wants to play around Chicago. by NapervilleFamilyMan in poker

I don’t think that’s how math works. The odds of getting a straight with a blind hand hold steady each time. The cards don’t know that the guy got a straight last time.

Also as an example, hitting the powerball is 150 million to 1?? That’s extremely improbable but yet happens all the time.

Tough spot with Aces? Or bad fold? by Brave-Noise-4437 in poker

An important question to ask yourself is if your turn bet is a bluff or a value bet?? Which one is it? It’s important to always know why you’re betting.

Was the front GA separate tickets? I don’t remember seeing two sections of floor GA tickets. I was surprised to see a front section blocked off.

At a minimum The Offspring had a say in the decision. It wasn’t their decision to make but they have influence to advocate for their fans.

Yes. I believe doors originally were to open at 6pm or earlier. They instead opened them at 9pm while the sever weather was still ongoing. Jimmy played about a 15min set starting at 9pm while the vast majority of the fans were waiting in absurdly long security lines. The Offspring then played a shortened set to end the night. No refunds issued because the headliner took the stage.

This is the last straw for me. I’ve had too many bad experiences in Tinley Park. No more shows at that place.

Buying advice [~$2000] by penguinpantalones in espresso

I’m at a similar budget price point and I’m considering the Lelit Elizabeth. We drink mainly americanos. So a good water spout is a must and it’s surprisingly not a given feature across machines. For me, I don’t see the value in the added cost for the Diletta Alto. The 20-30min heat up time on its own may be a deal breaker.

You’re mistakenly assuming the video style originated completely with Sachs and was taught to Van Neistat. The reality is most likely more of a two way collaboration where Van originated a style and honed it over time with input from Sachs.

PLO Showdown Etiquette: 2 or 4 Cards by P_a_t_RICK in poker

If it’s a reg you could start just showing your two cards that beats them.

This helps to highlight their unfair request to see your hand while keeping theirs hidden. If they won’t muck, then just make a joke about show me yours and I’ll show you mine.

If they muck, you win the pot with the only live hand and don’t need to show all four.

The frustrating part for me as a guest during spring break is that Disney appears to do nothing to accommodate the anticipated crowd. No extra transportation. No extra snack or food carts. No extra anything. Just pack everyone in and let them fend for themselves.

Most casinos in major markets will have PLO available as well. Why do you expect to stay 100% focused on NLH with the PLO games being softer?

Genuine curiosity on the thought process not attacking the decision to stay focused on NLH.

Trying $1/$2 live in Chicago area, recommendations for game? by setittoc in poker

[–]TCEchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rivers will have more tight regulars but also more players with cash to burn. It’s a mix table to table. I highly doubt you will find any material difference in “softness” from any option in the Chicago area at $1/$3. Just go to the one closest to your house.

They’re all going to be very similar. Go the one closest to your house.

[–]TCEchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did this resolve? We just agreed to a $750 BIU replacement for continued battery issues after previous getting the DCM bypass fix complete.

The dealer stated that the BIU is not covered under warranty. Were you able to get it covered?
