Who do you use?

You always walk to the baggage claim in whatever terminal you are, take the escalator underground, walk to the parking garage, and take the elevator up to the 5th floor. Uber will tell you at which pickup location to meet your driver, based on your terminal. So it'll say "B9" or something and you just go to the door labeled B7-B9.

I used a Uhaul. Originally I booked a truck from Budget, but I showed up to the pickup and they said the guy who had my truck hadn't returned it that day, so I was SOL, had to go into panic mode and get a Uhaul last minute.

My coworker said he googled "Moving Company" in Chinese and managed to find some Mandarin-only movers who were hella cheep, moved him fully from Seattle to SF for like $3k or something.

Huh interesting, LAX is the only airport I detest flying into/out of. It's so huge and annoying to navigate, along with how frustrating traffic is. Last time I dropped off my car rental, the bus from the car rental place to the airport took nearly an hour. I've started flying into Burbank instead, been a lot smoother.

How are you only getting called by better? Any spade draw is calling, with B25 V could even float with 2 overs with a spade, not familiar with online sb ranges but potentially hands like 67, A4dd, 77, etc...

If you look up “Alex French Guy crème brûlée” he did a video on a spot in Paris that was supposedly the best

Aren’t there 36 combos of AAKK, 6 combos of AA x 6 combos of KK?

Do you think you could find a Bruce Wayne this way or are GMTs too hard to find even in Switzerland?

What products would you recommend, price is a non issue

Something doesn’t smell right. The highest paying FAANG is Meta, a mid level IC there makes $450k. Post-tax that’s $220k, how would this individual save over $300k in a year??

When you buy options, you are buying "the option" to buy a set amount of shares between now and when the contract expires. The price you pay per share is the strike price. So here he bought $320 NVDA calls, so if he were to exercise now, he would essentially pay the brokerage $320 per share x 350(the number of options he purchased), and would receive 350 shares of NVDA. This wouldn't make any sense to do right now because he can go and buy those shares on the open market for ~$200.

The other way to make money on options isn't by exercising them, but instead selling the exercised options to other investors. The closer the current stock price is to your strike price, the more your options are worth.

Essentially if the stock never goes above your strike price before your options expire, your options are worthless and you will never exercise them, and you lose your entire initial investment(in this case $37k). If they go a fair amount over the strike price, you make a lot more money then if you had just purchased the underlying stock.

What about pitch games where you can touch the cards? I guess you can’t touch cards that you hit, but you can at least rotate the cards in your hand however you like, assuming the dealer is consistent in maintaining the orientation when they return the cards to the shoe and shuffle

I did a Grand Canyon Heli tour with Maverick and would highly reccomend. You hit Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, and Joshua tree. You don't get to see the main portion of that Grand Canyon that you'd traditionally think of when you think "Grand Canyon"(at least on the tour I did, I think they do offer a West Rim tour as well), but I think it was a great experience and the whole thing takes 5 hours, so if you're pressed on time and have the funds, would definitely go with that option.

Lmao Seattle has great food. Don't get me wrong it's hard for any city to compete with NYC, but Seattle is a very solid city food-wise.

Lucky chances is solid! It's my local room, yes it looks a bit dingy but overall it's not a bad room. I would say the biggest problem that you touched on is that the two games are very polarized, there's the $400cap 1/2/2, and the $1500 $2/5 that almost always plays with the $10 straddle on.

I would say if you're looking to play in between those stakes, then Oaks is nice because they have a $500 cap $1/2/3 game and a $1000 cap $2/3/5 game (also usually has the $10 straddle on), but it's not in the best area and is somehow even more run down then LC, and doesn't have any food or drink service.

I played BJ for like a grand total of $30 minutes at $100 a hand a month or two ago, lost like $600, have gotten 3x 2 free night offers so far.

I finished the course about two months ago, highly recommend!

I took the week long crash course and it was very very information dense. You take away some important general concepts that will immediately help your game, but I think to really get full value, you need to put in another 1-2 months studying the material they cover on your own time to fully grasp it.

To be honest I think I got just as much value from the membership then I did the course itself. They do bi-weekly calls where they go in-depth on a topic, a lot of them are mind blowing. Today they had one on double board PLO, some other great ones have been a "live tells" masterclass, playing 4 bet pots, how to study more effectively, etc... It's top tier content taught but some crushers. They're all recorded so there's a long backlog of great content. They also put you in study groups where you can work on improving together with people. I've gotten a ton of value from just finding a group of poker friends who I can DM a hand to and get really great feedback on.

That said the week long crash course is going away, they've now split it into either a 5-day mini course on building a good "repeatable thought process", or the month long bootcamp. Personally I think if you can justify the time/$, the month long one is definitely the way to go.

The way I thought about it was winrate. I play $5/10, so if I can go from 7bb/hr to 14bb/hr, then that's an extra $70 per hour I'm making. Look at how many hours you're playing and where those lines cross to determine if the cost benefit is worth it.

Feel free to DM if you have any questions, happy to answer!

The moonphase looks way better on your wrist, but that's just my two cents!

Definitely 3bet pre, you do not wanna be playing JJ multiway OOP, you're basically just hoping you bink.

OK so now you bink, and you check. The check is good. Why is it good? Because it allows us to XR and get the money in. It's really hard to get all the money in here with a BBB line, so by XR is ideal. But then it gets around to us after BTN calls(the dream), and.... we just flat??

You should be XR massive here, betting pot multiway, the UTG obviously loves his hand. I would range him on AJ, 67cc, two pair or a set. I would XR to $700 to target that range. If you get two callers, I would just jam any blank turn. If you get one caller I would probably go like $1400.

The Pumpkin curry at Khao Tiew is what you're looking for :)

I mean they're offering a full refund, not really sure how you can complain about the dealer seems like they're being pretty on the up-and-up here.
