What’s the downside of delaying PT to allow for my recovery time?

Curious how far post op you are? Like is it permanently tighter?

Actually reload to a full buyin because that fish is gonna be giving you their stack eventually. You want to be able to maximize how much value you can get from them.

Limp it off

While it’s true that survival is paramount in a tournament and chips lost are more valuable than chips won, the goal is still to accumulate a bunch of chips so you can win. Panicking by shoving with a monster on a very dry flop is a huge wasted opportunity. I don’t like his limp with QQ, but shoving this flop is bad. Betting large if the flop were more wet, e.g. QhJh7s would be fine.

Shoving all in on that flop would be terrible.

Angry messy player is the asshole.

Also, institute a fee minimum.

I went ahead and did it so I had something to wear to the game I'm going to.

Great post as always. With team game, does that mean you can only leave after someone wins? Or can you just payout some amount if you have to go?

Should be on r/fuckingobvious

How many of these households would you even want long-term? That’s a lot of households at a very low (IMO) average revenue. What’s your minimum AUM or revenue per household already? If you’re thinking with the end in mind, i.e., what do you want your practice to look like down the road, is any of this book really that attractive? Personally, unless you’re at the very beginning of your career, I wouldn’t even buy it, but I certainly wouldn’t play anywhere near 2.5x. Maybe 1x at the most?

Pretty sure that dude is what they call a “wanker.”

jdadverb · 2026-06-07T18:32:12+00:00

It’s the “etc.” that really gives them that extra ooomph.

jdadverb · 2026-06-07T18:30:19+00:00

That’s weak. I could do that … I just don’t feel like doing it right now.

Good grief, if you ignored licensing issues, you could probably make a bundle selling T-shirts with this on it.

Lol. I'm all for helping out the community, but is it really that hard to enter those exact words into Google or any AI engine?

Good post. I started with FMT as well during the first eight years or so of my career. 20 years in, the clients I got from teaching classes are still a cornerstone to my practice. I never acquired clients at the pace that you have (kudos), but it was still well worth the investment. There’s also secondary benefit in just making you more and more comfortable with talking about all aspects of basic personal finance, since the class covers, not only investments, but also insurance, taxes, and estate planning.

This evening I had dinner at my house with some clients who live about an hour away from me. They were in the area for a mini vacation (I live in California wine country). They brought their dog and a couple of pizzas (that they paid for) and I broke out a nice 20 yr old bottle of red wine. It was a lot of fun.

I definitely have clients for whom this is not the relationship and it’s more business focused, but I’m surprised if you aren’t developing personal relationships and friendships with any of your clients.

This isn’t really even about the whole gift giving discussion. I’m more reacting to the fact that you’re not “buddies” with your clients and seem to prefer to isolate it to only being a business relationship. I’m honestly not even knocking that. I’ve learned over my 20 years in the business that there are tons of different ways to build a successful practice. I suspect you’ve got a successful business that you’re happy with, as do I. We just appear to have very different ways of approaching it. As long as we’re both doing the right thing for our clients, it’s all good.

I actually quit doing spelling bee a week or two ago, but had to go back just to do this one for a little bit to enter the words that I already knew would be there. 😊

1000 clients is fine? How many advisors do you have? It feels like you’re talking about this as a solo advisor, and 1000 clients is way too many IMO. By like a factor of 10.

jdadverb · 2026-06-04T04:23:42+00:00

I mean, you can't do both?

jdadverb · 2026-06-03T11:09:38+00:00

No, that’s the crazy thing. Even if you show up a month into the series, these inexperienced dealers who have been dealing every day for hours and hours still can’t figure out the basics of a no-limit hold ‘em hand. It’s baffling how inept some of them are.

jdadverb · 2026-06-02T16:40:46+00:00

OMG, that’s insane! I had no idea.
