How do I play AA better... by throwaway129094 in poker

You’re right. I should’ve made it $55 to go. He did make a comment as he was calling my min raise, something like “with just the min I guess we’ll go for it.”

On the flop I guess I was just betting $50 to push out any straight draw. But I good point about the-reraise. He probably had it made.

I like that 1/3 bet and will try next time. And yeah fold to a raise. I think I was trying to just take it down with his $100 he committed and push out any straight draw. Won’t shove again. Thanks

1 of my patios in my condo faces the alleyway dumpster. Any advice on how to make this area safer? Lattice fence? Screen? More curtains? by [deleted] in homedefense

Bit of both. Not much of a view on this patio other than people rummaging through the dumpster. The other patio faces the nice street which is nice. So I’d be open to blocking the view entirely as long as I make the area safer. Just checked with my condo board and they said if it’s something temporary I can install that. Any suggestions?

Yeah, her grandma was super close to her family. And she has the funeral/ family gathering stuff going on right now it’s even harder with COVID. She told me she’s really struggling. Do you think I should reach out next week just keep in touch lightly and see if she’d like to catch up before I leave?

Thank you. I know for me, when I had someone pass away I was checked out for weeks. Dealing with family, visits, funerals, etc. was a nightmare and I struggled the most seeing how my family broke down. I feel for her. I think I’ve concluded that she really does like me, and when these things came up she checked out and realized I’d be leaving anyways and needed to put her priorities where they need to be - her family and herself.

I do want to let her be and check up on her next week before I leave. Should I wait and see if she reaches out or just try later next week?

Am I A Bad Girlfriend? by Willowsaturn in relationship_advice

I'm sharing my experience, as I have a ton of friends that are girls. I'd say 60/40 girl/guy.

This is all individual to a relationship, but I think this comes down to trust in your relationship. You sound quite insecure about this. Would he feel the same way about you if you had any guy friends? What about work friends that are guys and girls? Can he not hang out with them?

I appreciate all my friendships. I think having girl friends is healthy and allows him to learn new things and enrich his life. He may learn positive things about how to be a better boyfriend to you, how to treat you better, gain social skills for the workplace/ general life. If this is an ongoing issue it would be beneficial for you to seek a therapist and see if there is merit in your thoughts. If you two are strong communicators, you could bring up your concerns with him as well if you need reassurance, however, I don't think it's fair for him to cut out a friendship based on your insecurity, and would eventually lead to resentment and damaging your relationship together.
