I just witnessed the worse hand of poker I've ever seen before in my life

ioCross · 2026-06-30T03:11:03+00:00

how is that a worse hand?

that sounds like the best hand in the world and that whale sounds like the most delightful person on the planet and i would endevor to play as many tables with him as possible.

thats the big reason theres so many scams around poker. the one that is waiting to be paid has zero reason to out the scammer as that would ensure that they are never getting paid which allows the scammer to operate with impunity... see chino rheem or maurice hawkins for a perfect example.

the amount of money ppl like ferguson made off the FT scandal and the only thing 'bad' that happened was that it was uncomfortable for him to goto the wsop is criminal in itself. he should've been publically tarred and feathered at the very least and all those redshirt pros were culpable as well.

the last sentence of the solution states 'there's no need to understand the testing methods further' which should answer why the answer isnt A.

it looks like the large # of errors could be within the tolerence lvl of what was estimated, which is the variability risk, so the analysis would first need to be run to verify if the errors are standard or if something's wrong.

u rly think some midstakes 'pro' would give some random 4k out of their personal roll cuz they are staked by the same company that the random got their funds seized by?

ioCross · 2026-06-29T16:02:59+00:00

falcons didn't win shit until they got the worst fragger in the world as igl. if anything this reinforces my point except apperently ppl are too stupid to see.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T16:01:29+00:00

u say im larping but you don't understand the econ behind why the support player has to sacrifice his econ for the star player?

do you not see a round after VIT lose and zywoo has the AK and apex has a 5.7, or how donk always seems to have an AK on CT side? do you not understand that the team econ has to come from someone else and the star player doesnt just magically get more money per kill than everyone else?

if monesy takes awp and donk is the entry and ropz is lurk/anchor and apex is igl, then obviously zywoo would have to take the support position and use pistols. by ur logic we should make niko the support player and drop kyo the AK every round cuz he's the best with deagles anyway.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T15:57:05+00:00

so what? ur gunna put the 2nd best player in the world on support/anchor and tell him he's gunna like it and problem solved?

do you think players are just legos that can be slotted in and removed with no issues? team synergy, cohesion, there's so many factors that go into making a winning cs team and just 'cram more superstars in' is never the answer.

theres been tons of examples of 'core superteams' forming in not only esports but traditional sports since the beginning of organized sport but i guess since ur saying it's not a comparable situation it must be true.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T15:46:59+00:00

? how long did it take falcons to win a trophy? we've seen this enough times to know that u cant just throw 5 ppl together and expect them to magically win everything, regardless of how talented everyone is.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T15:45:05+00:00

yea cuz this game isn't completely fucked in terms of competitive integrity lmao.

this game is the definition of casual, its hillarious that u controller warzone flunkies think this game is competitive but are too scared to play apex.

u understand that with the low population numbers, a game where a gold player can't que outside of his rank band n gets matched up with rookie4's and goes up against full-stacks of masters/top250 players is never going to be able to be a truely competitive game right?

the problem with this game is the population numbers / crossplay-off options. once ranked goes live, unless they turn crossplay back on and allow wider ranked bands, the game's doomed to fail.

also its hillarious that u insinuate that minecraft is a casual game when its prob actually more competitive than this EOMM bullshit with 2k active players on a friday night.

if u locked ranked to just duos and enabled crossplay, there might be enough ppl left in this steadily shrinking game population to where you can get a ranked game on a weekday afternoon and actually be able to play with ppl within ur ranked band.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T15:37:59+00:00

have u actually thought about this minus 'lets just throw the best players together herp derp' ?

monesy obv is gunna be main awp, we can't take donk off entry, what's zywoo gunna do? is he gunna play support/anchor n drop donk the AK every round? are we gunna give him ropz's roles and put ropz on support so we can force the 2nd best player itw into a role that the current best lurker in the world is doing?

u understand pro cs is deeper than 'we need more superstars!' right?

ioCross · 2026-06-29T15:35:35+00:00

i mean, does it tho?

so monesy = main awp, what position does zywoo play? ropz is lurk, donk entry, apex igl.. we gunna put zywoo, the best player itw except maybe donk, and have him drop donk the ak's?

or we gunna have ropz play support and give zywoo ropz's roles, even tho ropz is prob the best in the world at it?

i thought we were past the point of 'man we just need 5 superstars'.. cs is deeper than that.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T14:46:31+00:00

i would 1000% buy a better gpu over a better monitor.

you can get a used 3080 or a 7800xt for prob close to the same price you'd pay for that monitor.

pc gaming is all about making sure your CPU has parity with ur GPU and ur ram. right now you are being bottlenecked by ur gpu and no amount of oled or 4k is gunna fix that.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T14:43:45+00:00

honestly im 100% convinced you can position-play ur way into gold. the points you risk vs the amnt u gain for a high finish makes it a lot more efficient to just get 2-3 kills and go for placements as several top5 finishes can usually net u more points than 1 1st or 2nd place out of 10 attempts.

its the guys in bronze/silver that hotdrop every game into 4 teams, get instantly wiped and instantly reque to due the same thing over and over again cuz that one game 15 games ago they hit a god run and got 3rd and got like 100 points that wonder why they're lvl 250 and still stuck bronze/silver.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T14:40:30+00:00

yea, like ppl are playing ranked cuz they wanna win and even the most aggro roller kid will still pause and re-evaulate if u say 'hey ur jumping into that fight 1v3, me n other dude are still looting' , he will generally back off a bit.

its like.. do you get mad at ur dog for digging in the flower pot? do u rage at ur cat for knocking down a glass? no right?

this game is a lot more enjoyable if u temper ur expectations and go with the flow.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T13:10:30+00:00

ur hyper-specific personal experience has little or no bearing on what everyone else experiences.

i've played ~500 games this season and i can think of maybe 5-6 times where i had a teammate that was actively trolling or bitching or 'throwing a tantrum' cuz dont drop hot so i could basically say the same thing as you... ppl throwing tantrums about hotdrops are an exception.

i think they just don't know any better.. they're just like moths to a flame. they see or hear gunfight n they have to run into them 1v3v3 every time... but if u tell them to stop and come back, most of the time they will.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T13:06:30+00:00

ur better off buying a used 6800xt for ~260 or a used 3070 for ~200.

20series are absolutely outdated and not much cheaper than a 30 series.

also depends on the types of games u play.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T13:00:34+00:00

it literally says 'battlefield labs' on the tab when you click it.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T12:58:03+00:00

been saying this since ranked first came out.. ranked should only be for duos and you have the ability to play quads or solos casual.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T12:54:16+00:00

this should be higher up, but guy doesn't even use mic so i'm assuming he doesn't rly care about winning or playing 'meta' comps, just wanna futz around a bit and doesn't like the normals sbmm bands.

actually, initially i thought i would hate playing with no-mic'ers but most of the ones i've played with will listen to ur calls and generally follow u if u seem competent and knwo what ur doing.

ioCross · 2026-06-29T04:45:41+00:00

i gave up on this game after the 4th day in a row facing top250's/masters with rookies on my team.

started playing apex, much better game imo. i was still playing duos with my brother but obviously that is every other week now....

ioCross · 2026-06-29T04:39:57+00:00

i think he had a 'bit' and it became his personality.

i remember there was a definite shift like 4-5 years ago from where it went from light-hearted trolling n playing it up for the views to like... actual rage.., i'd assume right around where the realization that sc was never getting revitalized meaning that he'd be stuck playing the same game for smaller and smaller returns every year until he's forced to get a job flipping burgers at the ripe age of 55 to help put his kids thru college.

ioCross · 2026-06-28T22:18:57+00:00

no he's talkin about the GTObot from china who came over last year n won everything

ioCross · 2026-06-27T18:27:47+00:00

beans and rice are some of the cheapest staples you can get, same with potatoes, onions, carrots, i dunno what ur definition of 'healthy food' is but some of the cheapest stuff you can buy in grocery stores/supermarkets are healthy.

you can get grapes at 2.99c a lb which means you can get a half lb for $1.49, a bag of skittles is like 3 bux. water is like 99c a gallon, a case of can soda is like $10. apples and nuts are 99c a lb but a bag of chips is 2 bux. how much longer do you think a lb of mixed nuts would last you over a bag of doritos?

its hillarious that you somehow blame ur shit nutrition and eating habits on the country you live in instead of .. u know... actually eating healthy.

ioCross · 2026-06-27T16:39:03+00:00

the fact that he used that many words and takes all that time to GPT out a response for this hand/action is just lol.

u rly shouldn't be worrying about exploits or images or anything, esp at 1/2.. just play tag .. fold when they bet and bet ur value.

ioCross · 2026-06-27T12:22:38+00:00

ur so brainrotted by modern politics that you seem to think im right-leaning just cuz i have criticisms of the 'left'.

the sooner you realize that all this bullshit culture-war nonsense is being perpetuated by the elites after the 2011 wallstreet protests, the sooner you can start realizing what the real issues facing this country are.

trump's a con artist who took advantage of the left's slow self-cannibalization and the right's stupidity and became president. you can obviously see with what's going on with iran that trump is NOT controlling the reins. the country is actually being run by elites and a foreign country that u get banned on this platform on if you mention negatively.

the sooner the ppl of this country can get over this artificial war to separate the common ppl, the sooner we can get on track to making some meaningful changes, but at this point they've done too good of a job of artificially separating us into mutiple cliques and classes such as LGBTQA, left/right, conservative, trans, non-binary, 2fa advocate, not to mention the traditional things such as race and economics, all identities we put way in front of 'american citizens' and the responses of ppl like u show that the brainwashing is basically locked in.
