Aged like fine wine

0/36 advancing to round 3 … 😅

The tournament director, Kevin, literally announced it before every single starting day of the main event this summer 🤷‍♂️

There are videos proving it 🤦‍♂️

I was sitting in the stands next to Tamayo, McKeehan & Nitsche saying that they aren’t allowed to do that 😒

Anything this week?

Add 5 more to the pile based on points 36/117 for 30.76% advance rate

A very good season, so far, but now I have to fade all the Saquon Barkley lineups to have a shot at round 3

In honor of Ja'Marr Chase 37% rostered in my best ball leagues, and helping me to advance in 30.7% of my leagues to round 2... I had to get myself a little Christmas present

Buy-in shouldn't affect expectation all that much, except you might have a higher % of sitting out drafters that can't be bothered for $10?

Looks like I got 31/117 Draft Kings Best Ball leagues through on round 1. Maybe a cpl more stragglers based on points.

The expectation to advance was 16.66% & I'm at 24.6%. Both $555 teams advance, which is very nice. Going to have to fade the gauntlet, but we are alive for the 1MM

An entire season of NFL Best Ball finishes up tonight.

I need Burrow and Chase to go OFF to advance to round 2 🔥

Oh, & I get to watch Simpsons telecast?! Inject it into my veins please 🙏

When it does that, try putting on airplane mode for like a minute and then reopening

I had this issue before and it would reset my location, but didn't always work

Let’s goooooo

I understand the analytics says to just kick the FG, but felt like a boss move to go for it

They have a massive advantage on the run & getting a yard means winning the game

PFF had them ranked very high in O-Line vs D-Line matchup for the rush

I really liked the decision to go for it. Their running game is so elite & it felt like whoever had the ball last would win the game.

I know the 'analytics' say it was ~4% better to kick the FG, but I like Campbell's confidence in their team to go for the throat there, he would know best fr

My Christmas playlists are getting no exposure

PJ Harvey! Nice

Just ordered my good friend's new book on Amazon. He has a really interesting story from being raised in a cult, to two tours in Iraq, & working in the Peace Corp in Ukraine.

Can't wait to read this when I get stateside...

'Covet the Chaos' by Caleb Sullivan

No player was absent it was sb limp vs bb raise & a limp/shove for 27 bbs

I def wouldn't fold ATo & def would fold (or just chk pre) with A8o, so felt like A9o was right on the line. Apparently the solvers like just shoving > raise/calling (which is fine for chips but maybe not in this situ)

My bust out hand from the Monster Stack was interesting, might have called too loose

sb limps, we 3.2x A9o off of 27bbs, he limp/shoves covering us

34/930 remain... feels very close, but might be a fold vs population tendencies & with ICM pressure

I didn't fold and we lose to AJo (sick runout)

Few always lays out the gauntlet at the start of the year... fr

Let's hope that the tough games early in the season translate to March Madness success next year!

Fun little trip to São Paulo, 3 cashes & had lots of fun learning how to say bet sizes in a new language

I have the full day in the city before taking off late tonight to return home. Any suggestions for touristy things to do in São Paulo?

Went with NFL & room service

Yesterday I cashed the BSOP Monster Stack in 34th

It was a R$ 1660 + 340 w/ 3% withheld for staff 🤯

This is why the poker community needs the Allen Kessler’s of the world

Bagged chip lead in the #BSOP São Paulo Monster Stack, day 2 Friday…

Now I have to decide between a day off & NFL + 🦃day -or- play the R$ 2k PLO5 turbo 🤔

So tilt 😒

Interested in how he thinks the Trump presidency helps/hurts Ukraine

That’s a good way to get sick in Brazil 🤮 💩

The Poker Stars VIP Lounge at BSOP is really nice. Always a good spread, free water & snacks… almost makes up for the 20% rake 😂

Haven’t had to pay very much for food this trip 😎

Those don’t work for me
