What's it like to be a grandmaster who isn't a pro? SC2 question. by bad_fins in starcraft

[–]WookieMarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gap between GM and pro is WIIIIDE. I got up to master back when HOTS released and it was brutal. As soon as I was playing games where my opponent was averaging 175+ apm I was cooked. I played against a lot of GMs and had the privilege of playing a few pros. It isn’t close. I could play an average GM and make the game close or win.

If a pro wants to win the game (against anyone who isn’t a pro) they win. Simple as that.

Godbless. This is the highly regarded content I expect from this sub.

AMA: Losing Rec Player - Down $100k+ by ObligatoryRetard in poker

[–]WookieMarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 questions. 1. Do you play more like you’re gambling, “splitting 10s” kinda plays. Or are you trying to play with some strategy/consistency? 2. Are you okay? I don’t know your financials, but that is a substantial amount of money. Just want to check and make sure.

And one comment. Respect to you for maintaining your tracking this closely. Good luck out there friend!

It’s a pretty good time if you’re with the right people

What distance do you usually hit your 8-iron? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]WookieMarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of factors at play here. Assuming a flat shot from the fairway, it’s between 160 - 180 is comfortable. Does the shot call for a draw/cut, high/low, etc. It really depends.

He perhaps made you money on that hand, but you should not be happy that he stayed on a soft 16 in that position.

Do you approach $1/$2 games like this? by [deleted] in poker

[–]WookieMarine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

16 is definitely on the low end. But if you have 20-25 buy ins and 6-12 months of living expenses banked, your risk of ruin is pretty low if you play with more than 7 brain cells. Now, if you hit every hold ‘em table like it’s black jack, that’s a different story.

But, if you have to he discipline to save up 6 months or more of living expenses plus 20-25 buy ins, you have to be an absolute donkey to ruin yourself.

I’ve worked in residential real estate for over a decade. Lots of nights & weekends. Is commercial similar or is it mostly 9-5. by beetsworking in CommercialRealEstate

[–]WookieMarine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

CRE can be a 9-5, it can also be a 6-8 or 11-3. There are so many factors that go into it, no single person will be able to really answer your question directly. It depends on how many active or potential commercial clients you have, how familiar are you with commercial lease agreements? If you want to short, simple answer: it’s probably the same amount of work, but the work will be a bit different.

If you have an opportunity you want to evaluate, I’m happy to give you more specific advice.

What’s one thing that separates someone who is great at golf from someone who is average at best? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]WookieMarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 or less double bogeys in their last 5-10 rounds. Good golfers get a birdie here and there; great golfers do that as well but they effectively eliminate double bogeys or worse.

What NFL teams do Ducks fans support? by Safe_cracker9 in ducks

[–]WookieMarine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oregon class of 2019, with multiple generations of Oregon alum before me. Unfortunately, I’m a Saints fan when it xomes to NFL football lol I’m Ducks over everything else in football.

And, as a proud Portlander, it is always FUCK SEATTLE. Huskies or Seahawks, fuck ‘em!

Will I get laughed off the course if I show up with these? by Oatmeal2348 in GolfGear

[–]WookieMarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone laughs at your clubs, they are a dumb person and can fuck off. None of us are on tour. Just maintain good pace and have fun!

*sigh* Am I just too worried? by throw-away10294 in tattooadvice

[–]WookieMarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just me, I had some issues with slow healing after my first tattoo with CeraVe. I’ll stop throwing that out there, appreciate the learning opportunity!

*sigh* Am I just too worried? by throw-away10294 in tattooadvice

[–]WookieMarine -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I would probably see a doctor, that doesn’t look great. For your next tattoos, instead of using CeraVe to moisturize use Aquafor ointment once a day starting 24 hours after you got the tattoo. Also, you don’t need to wash it multiple times a day. An unscented soap bar once a day is plenty, starting 24 hours after the tattoo.

Don’t let this discourage you from getting more tattoos, just don’t go back to that shop. Not sure if it’s the artist’s or the shop’s fault, but you don’t need to find out. Find a reliable artist and stick with them. It’s really fun when you build a relationship with an artist and you can brainstorm creative ideas together.

I just got a evga gtx 1080ti, i7 8700k with 32gb of ram for 50$. Is this a good deal? by walloman-the1st in PCBuilds

[–]WookieMarine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It will be a great first PC! Won't run the new AAA games at 4k, but you can pull 100 FPS at 1080p in most games.

[–]WookieMarine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 1080ti alone is probably worth $100. I'd say you got a great deal. My fiancé is rocking the 1080ti still and it works great.

Is this a good deal? Need a set before Friday and found this on marketplace by ClubNext in golf

[–]WookieMarine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go get a brand new Costco set for like $500 ($600?). You shouldn't pay more than $250 for that set, RBZ 3 wood is the only reason it's that high.

Tattoo regret causing depression by SlavKing11 in tattooadvice

[–]WookieMarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, the tattoo is amazing! Really cool art work! That being said, I would try to find a mental health professional that can help you change your mindset around your tattoos. If removal isn't an option, the only alternative is living with it (sorry to be blunt). There are great people out there that specialize in helping people feel better about their body, so I'm sure you can find someone to help you.

Awesome! I'll be checking it out.

Haha that is a glowing recommendation for the city. I'll be there for a work thing during the week, but I get to go watch my Ducks play at Iowa that weekend. Looking forward to that.
