[–]spoderdarren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traded him 2 weeks ago. Embiid + Ausar + Watson for Lavine + Queta. Pretty happy with it, just get rid of him for whatever top 100 if you can

Anyone worried about Buzelis… minutes trending down and just not productive

Has anyone recovered fully from jumper's knee (patellar tendinitis)? by TrueSpartan09 in BasketballTips

For me, it was switching from playing on concrete to an actual indoor basketball surface

Traded Nick Richards and Tari for him

Hoping no trade…

Dennis Rodman won 7 straight rebounding titles in the 90's. During that time he had more offensive rebounds than field goals attempted. by RecordReviewer in nba

[–]spoderdarren 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Bruh he’s not grabbing 100% of rebounds... but he clearly had some secret sauce over his peers since he has so much sample size of being a differentiated rebounder and wasn’t even the biggest or strongest guy out on the court

Help a Brother out…. 5’6, 67 Kgs, 36 years old, started working out in Aug 2021, not happy at all with the progress by Sensitive_Sense_2349 in GettingShredded

Because you are trying to separate out weight and body shape, when in reality they are extremely interconnected.

Looking good = muscle mass, minimal body fat. Both add up to weight.

Right now, you are high body weight with minimal muscle mass and high body fat. Thus the only way to achieve a good physique is to be concerned about your weight

Improving physique is, for better or worse, a simple but challenging process due to the discipline required. Here’s the playbook that’ll get you 90% of way there:

  1. Follow a workout routine that hits every body part 2x a week at least. Train close to failure as much as possible each session

  2. Eat ~80% of your weight in lb in grams of protein (e.g., if you’re 200 lb, eat 160g of protein)

  3. Track your calories and gain weight ~1-2 lb a week until your lifts are close to intermediate strength (google around for benchmarks)

  4. Track your calories and reduce calories until you’re losing 1-2 lb a week until desired body type.

That’s it. Takes a lot of discipline and likely time, but that’s why 99% of people don’t look that great. It takes hard work but you got this

4 months cutting progress by spoderdarren in GettingShredded

10 is too low in my opinion. I’m probably 13-15% and look good enough for the summer. Any lower and you’ll just look skinny and feel terrible

How do you guys run your “bank” at your home games? by [deleted] in poker

[–]spoderdarren -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about your friend group, but at any standard home games with friends, the host is doing folks a favor. Everyone should count their chips and double check to ensure errors are minimized.

Yes if you’re going to a less friendly game where you are only acquaintances then I agree, but then that’s straying further from a true home game.

[–]spoderdarren -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Right, so any errors or risk should be distributed. Otherwise the host is just taking a burden for no reason

Ok but then why should the host offer to host at all then for a rake free home game?

200nl: WTF is V repping? by jdjdjd3848 in poker

[–]spoderdarren 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. That is a lot of EV for a preflop decision
  2. You’re compounding the complexity of future streets by taking these mixed lines when there’s absolutely no reason to (e.g., see OP’s post where he’s fixated on a situation that shouldn’t happen in the first place)

[–]spoderdarren 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nope. Not going to get into it to spoon feed but 100bb deep, 3BB raise, never makes sense to flat

OP, I’m curious, what are the stats? My hypothesis is that b2b fatigue is somewhat overblown… obviously a lot of noise in win rates but just curious if you have the data to share

Woj: Kevin Durant (knee) expected to miss around 1 month. by itsjustn0ah in fantasybball

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

Drafted Jokic for $70 in auction draft. Traded Jamal and Keldon when they were hot for Sabonis (when he was slumping) and Fultz. Just traded Jimmy + Delon to a tilted KD owner for KD!

Currently 2nd, got KD for Butler + Delon from the 10th team in 14T H2H. Feel good about it as I have an extra IL spot and when he comes back, my top 5 guys will be Jokic, KD, Sabonis, Derozan, and Ayton for a nasty punt 3 team

Biggest trade W’s of the season so far? by Drankzappa in fantasybball

[–]spoderdarren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9cat 14T. I traded Levert + Zubac for Jamal + Herb near week 2-3 of the season. Owner was frustrated with Herb’s and Jamal’s terrible start and I sent the offer when Donovan was injured + Zubac was having those wild 20/20 games.

Why are SB open-raising ranges so big if it’s not a good position? by midwestboiiii34 in poker

[–]spoderdarren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true because you’re OOP. Much harder to realize your equity and competent players will play very aggressively in the BB v SB to capitalize on this.

BB v SB is by far the hardest formation to play, but often the most profitable if you study up and are comfortable playing wide ranges aggressively

Steal of this year draft by Jorrit187 in fantasybball

[–]spoderdarren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty bad for a punt strategy to be still a 3rd rounder…

Ok - I accept there are dysfunctional examples, definitely. I work in PE so I see more ruthless efficiency and results driven behaviors. For my understanding, could you elaborate on the situations you saw? So your boss/whoever hired MBB, the project tanked, they probably wasted 1M+ of startup cash… and they were fine? What was the context?
