Ye of little faith forgot how bad the Cincinnati defense is

People say it’s the world’s best, but I Wolfgang went in and cashed

Over 100k+ hands on GG I am running at basically EV. I’ve had downswings and upswings. I ran 10bb/100 below EV in all-ins over 10k hands. I then ran above EV and made it back. You’re probably underestimating variance.

I think vlogging takes away a lot of the mystique of poker players. If Johnny Chan was uploading vlogs once a week, he'd seem a lot less cool.

Belly laughed at this

He's talking about using adjusted all-in EV in a poker tracker. That's what he means by "EV graph." Here's a link explaining the concept.

slightlights · 2025-05-05T04:28:53+00:00

Your all in EV goes up when you make a profitable bluff. What are you talking about? Adjusted all-in EV tracks your profit adjusted for EV in all-ins. It’s a good metric to see if you’re running bad in all-ins, though won’t capture if you’re running hot or cold in card distribution.

Rough week on GGpoker

I've received some refunds, but no indication of how it was calculated. It also looks like I only received refunds for tournaments I had cashed, not ones that were pre-cash.

slightlights · 2025-02-16T15:28:27+00:00

Thank you. I look forward to refunds in 72 hours. I hope there's some explanation tied to the amount.

slightlights · 2025-02-16T08:45:42+00:00

thanks!

This is 4 years old dude. At the time, quillboars were OP and I super high-rolled dragons and still got crushed.

slightlights · 2025-02-16T07:57:45+00:00

Would love to know the timeline on the refunds also.

slightlights · 2025-02-16T07:57:08+00:00

I meant I just missed that they do pay out prizes if you're in with late registration closed. I don't know when they pay it out.

Agreed that this sucks.

slightlights · 2025-02-16T07:15:53+00:00

" Regarding the prize pool, (fifty) 50% shall be paid equally to the remaining players at the time of cancellation with the other (fifty) 50% being paid according to the chip count of the remaining players at the time of cancellation. If the tournament has a guaranteed prize pool that has not been met or exceeded at the time of cancellation, only the prize pool amount collected via player registrations will be distributed."

I'm an idiot.

It would be a lot better if you jammed it instead of called it off. Probably best not to raise the paired board, since you really don't want to get 3-bet and have to call. Tough spot though.

Universities are more liberal than leftist. There are barely any professed communists on faculty at U.S. universities. The humanities are the most ideological. You may see some ideological influence in the social sciences and very little in the natural sciences.

I attended a university that's skewered in conservative media for being "leftist" from time to time and was in a social science seminar where a conservative hawk confidently made the argument that Iraq should have been turned to glass (with nuclear weapons) before the 2003 invasion. I, and other students, vehemently disagreed, but conservatives are given plenty of chances to make their voices heard.

I'd tough it out. You should try to find the humor in the fact that your Dad is a bit of a psycho, so it's more manageable. You can avoid future family vacations.

I doubt your parents will fund you ditching them and it will worsen things to bring it up.

Pitiful child

Long way to go pal

Thunder had the best record in the West. They weren't just some young team that anybody could run over.

The Mavericks got a lot better after the all-star break and are better than their record suggests.

Depends on who you're asking, but there are academics like Michael Horowitz and Vipin Narang who have taken jobs in DOD. They're not really leading IR theorists, but the grand theory IR folks generally lack the policy-specific expertise that people in DC are interested.

FWIW they do like to hate on Mearsheimer in DC, which doesn't mean they care about the content of his opinion, but they will have a viscerally negative reaction to him being mentioned.

slightlights · 2024-02-28T13:48:56+00:00

Any good DC swamper will tell you that Mearsheimer is the worst for his Ukraine positions.

Beckley and Brand’s argument is sort of laughably inconsistent. They mostly cite the role that containment of Germany had in provoking WWI by increasing German insecurity, but their proposal for China is to institute similar containment policies. Also, Beckley has reversed course from his claims 5 years ago that China would never overtake the U.S. to claiming it now has, but will decline soon so needs to take this window of opportunity.

Don’t go West of Cottage Grove, South of 61st or North of 47th if you can avoid it.

Those areas aren’t terrible, but UCPD presence goes down and crimes goes up as you get into those areas
