Let's say you were given $1k to manage in a stock and you have a potential return of $113,000 if not more. How much would you ask for in return for a fee?
Yet again, I play very fucking well, have a chip lead of 4 to 1 on the second biggest stack, and then for a few hours, the stacks just keep getting passed back and forth. Best hand keeps losing. Saw someone fold aces, fucking ACES to a shove from someone who shoves with 85o. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU FOLD FUCKING ACES?! I just don't get how someone thinks that folding aces with two blinds is a good fucking move.
Some shit went down with my sister. Her BF sold drugs, is a felon, and had guns, until the cops came with a search warrant. The house isn't getting taken away, and my sister can't get a job since she's pregnant. So, I've offered to host a home game twice a week over there. I want to do a 20/10 rebuy followed by 1/2 cash then a 50/20 rebuy followed by 2/5 cash, after having been up for a while, at least, but I'm not sure.
Anyone ever hosted their own games before? Any tips?
The past few years I have gotten increasingly into fantasy football. This year has been by far the biggest jump for me in terms of committment, money wagered and time spent studying and researching. This is probably the last year of my preparation before I really delve into lots of big buyin leagues.
This offseason I spent probably around 100-150 hours studying, researching and running simulations in order to improve everything I could about my fantasy knowledge. I've done 10 of my 13 drafts so far this season and may add a couple last minute ones to do 15 leagues this year. They varied quite a bit.
some of the different types:
-10 team 1 qb/2rb/3wr/te/DST/K no PPR
-12 team 1 qb/2 rb/2wr/1 flex/te/DST .25 PPR
-12 team 1 qb/2 rb/2wr/2 flex/te/DST/K .25 PPR
-12 team auction keeper, $155 bankroll, 1 qb/2rb/2wr/1 flex/TE/DST/K .5 PPR
-12 team 1 qb/ 1 OP (offensive player, can include 2nd qb)/2 rb/3wr/flex/TE/DST/K 1 PPR
-14 team 1 qb/2 rb/2wr/flex/TE/DST/K/LB/DL/DB .5 ppr + other random scoring changes

ive done a ton of work on all these drafts and everything worked out very well. Most of my work was on optimizing draft order by position round by round for each draft slot. I feel I have a much better grasp on this than almost anyone else and also a better idea of VBD (value based drafting) and dynamic value based drafting as well as player tiers and how to maximize value in them.
Since the season starts thursday and there are probably some last minute drafts going on and since everyone loves fantasy football thought id spread some wealth on what ive learned. ask me anything, but be specific with questions. i.e. dont ask what sleepers should i aim for, tell me the scoring system of your league, how many teams, what draft position you have, who you aim for, what goals you should have with each position etc.

I have a decent mouse that's super awesome because of the thumb/palm curvature is perfect. It's wireless, so I use a USB receiver that I plug in front of my computer. I have some cheap headphones that I usually plug in the back of my computer. I'm not sure why, but I moved them up front. Ever since I did that, I was able to hear static. At first, I thought it was just a bad port or whatever it's called, since I have to regularly push it in a little once in a while so both sides work. Yet, somehow, tonight, I was able to tell that it's actually the mouse signal, cause the static only happens when I move the mouse.
I am really stoned and it's like the coolest thing ever. I can hear my mouse.
There are many hands in no limit Texas hold’em that can be defined as trouble hands for all sorts of reasons. In his great book “SuperSystem” the great Doyle Brunson once remarked on how hands like K-J and A-10 were “trouble” hands. Well it really all depends on how you play them I suppose but it is certainly true that they have to be played carefully. For example if a middle position player makes it 3.5bb to go and you have the Ac-10c on the button then you have a clear call even though your hand may be dominated.
If you flop an ace then it overtakes all hands like KK-JJ and you can easily get away from dominated situations if you are careful enough. It is often said that dominated Broadway hands are trouble hands but any hand can be a trouble hand if you play it badly enough. For example imagine a hand like A-A played at NL100 ring on Full Tilt Poker in the hands of a novice with a 200bb stack. They make it 3.5bb and get two callers both of which have position on them. There are now 12bb in the pot and the flop comes K-10-4 rainbow our hero makes a c-bet of 9bb and the first caller makes it 27bb with the next player folding.
Our hero calls because he has aces and now the pot is 66bb. The turn card comes and is the 5d and our hero checks. His opponent bets 35bb and now for the first time our hero is feeling a little less comfortable. However he still cannot let go of the aces just yet and so makes a call thus pumping the pot to 136bb. Any experienced player would already be feeling that their aces were beaten. You need to remember that a solid player will already know that you must have a decent hand to raise from position.
So this means that they can read your hand a lot easier than you can read theirs. This is the underlying problem with playing hands out of position. You can never know with certainty or enough certainty that your hand is losing. At least when you have position then you are in a better spot to know this because you will already have seen your opponent check or bet or even check-raise. There is a line that I often use to good effect that highlights even more when your opponent has a good hand.
This is called the delayed c-bet and is simply what the name implies, a c-bet that is made on the turn instead of the flop. This works well when your opponent has nothing and will be suspicious of your check. It also works well when you have almost no equity on the flop. For example if you raise a limper with the 10c-9c and the flop comes Kh-4s-3d then you have very poor equity. So you may decide to check and if the turn card comes and is the 8c and your opponent checks again then your fold equity has increased alarmingly.
Who: Maiquel Falcao (31-5)
When: July 7th
Where: Brazil
What: 2x4 piece of wood to the dome
Why: He started shit with a girl at a gas station, and her friends came and helped her.
Taken from Sherdog: "Falcao was in a gas station with his friend (also an MMA fighter), Falcao started harrassing a girl and even slapped her, her friends came to her rescue, at first losing the fist battle until the guys ganged up on him and knocked Falcao and his friend out cold using what appears to be a large piece of wood. The guy getting hit repeatedly is Falcao's freind. Falcao is the first guy getting koed in the video."
