That time in 2017 when the big game broke so we started a nice game of 5/10 Torelli Poker. It's a lot like holdem but your big chips go in back and you never tell anyone when you're adding more on.

Went on actual play bad tilt for the first time in over 10 years yesterday. Thought it couldnt happen to me. My A game in PLO is pretty rough to begin with, but this was real ugly. Won every hand and ran my 70bb stack into 1000bb. Felt amazing. Now I understand the appeal.

Alright 200/400 mix, LA 2017-18. My drinking partner is losing and tilted. She destroys a card. Floor is called, I say "we have a bad card" and it gets replaced. She takes the deck out of the dealers hand and smashes all 52 cards. Floor is called, I say "we have 52

Yearly reminder for the people upset that even more of the illusion of prestige has been taken from the WSOP that poker is not at all about prestige. Poker is actually about: 1. Money 2. Having fun and socializing with others* *: Unless you play online. Then it's just money.

I think the WSOP should add an event that awards 2 bracelets. One for the winner and one for a randomly selected player. Also the buyin should be like a screenshot of a packet of Chik Fil A sauce instead of money

So there's a non pro in San Diego that turns 1 card face up when he's stuck. I decided it wasn't fair and "invented" 1 up PLO which is just PLO with a door card. Have mix plaque for it and everything. Fun game, kinda popular. Anyway, we are playing 5 card 2 up 3 down now

Just used an 80 cent consumable on accident in Pokemon Go and I can't breathe. Meanwhile next time I play poker I'm sure I'll bluff 4k+ off in a hand when I don't have the right hand to bluff with or even expect to get a fold and feel fine.

Just potted turn with KTT2 and diamonds on 9763dd. River 9 and I bluffed with no pair for 2/3 pot and got raised. Then I remembered that when you have two tens in your hand on 99763 that's actually an overpair so I called and won. Call me Patrik antonius from now on please
