I don’t think I could beat even nl100 in the short handed pools tbh, I really struggled/ran 5 figures below EV last year at 1/2 and 2/5z PLo during off hours.
I gave myself a lesson on how to induce overbets with top pair/overpair type hands. Every runout seemed like it put a 1-liner on the board and I got blown out of the pot probably six times at least. Was starting to get on my nerves.
It’s hard to make a goof here because the obvious goof is “fold pre” but you already folded pre so all I got is “fold the river” which doesn’t make any actual sense.
My all in joke didn’t work there, but I’m making some pretty elite math and hip-hop goofs right now over in the GOP Insanity thread. That is solid goofsmithing if I do say so myself.
A part of me thinks that Public Enemy would have been better without Flavor Flav and wishes he wasn’t there because he’s annoying as shit, but the wiser part of me knows you need a Flavor Flav in your life to stop you from taking yourself too seriously. It’s like how The Beatles had George as the moody serious one and Ringo as the silly one. Chuck D is out there laying out heavy shit and Flav is just being a ridiculous goofball. It’s the Yin and the Yang together that’s excellent.
