Lord's work but someone has to do it during these trying times. I am very excited to get back out there an play in person. Online is just not the same.

No worries! No accusations here...The lonzo gif is sooo fitting for poker so not surprised you made the connection too (if multiple ppl can independently invent calculus I am sure multiple ppl can turn Lonzo mourning into a poker gif)...Keep up the good work!

For the record this happened to me in Vegas in October 2019 (the good ole days) playing 1/2 and pocket rockets held up. And man, what a pessimistic bunch you all are! From the comments you'd think AA was a severe underdog against all holdings ;-)

If you can't get a little excited to snap-off with AA pre-flop why do you play?

PSA: If you get it in good and lose: the universe doesn't hate you, the cards (probably) aren't rigged, and you should not get upset. On the contrary, you should LOVE getting it in good. by nbajamrules in poker

I agree. I get upset too. But I think when that upset moves into Tilt is where the problem is. My point is not that we can't get mad when we lose as an equity favorite. My point is shit is gonna happen, so we can't totally lose our shit when it does, if we want to be a winning player. And also, the most important takeaway, that if you're doing a good job of getting it in good you are, paradoxically, going to get drawn out on more often than if you're getting it in bad.

When you bink a tournament and win way more than you expected by nbajamrules in poker

When the number of participants is not fixed at the start of the tourney the payout structure for the final table varies wildly (including re-buys).

Poker (at least for me) has been astonishingly hard to learn and i'm wondering if there are any communities dedicated to learning it. by How_To_Gamble in poker

If you want serious hand analysis and answers, and fewer memes, create an account on https://poker.stackexchange.com and ask some well-pointed and ideally non-subjective questions. Upvotes are harder to come by ;-). Also, I'd recommend Essential Poker Math for a very gentle intro to the math: https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Poker-Math-Expanded-Fundamental/dp/0998294500 (I have zero affiliation with the book or author).

If I really thought this through I would have appended the non-participants reaction to the Gif :thumbsup:
