think Hitch is saying that it's possible to make a +EV play (e.g. sitting in the Sporting circa 2012, it's folded around to the Chief in the SB, he jams his 200BB stack into the pot, splashing like crazy. You're the BB with a 50BB stack and look down at AK suited, you insta-call. Unsurprisingly, the Chief is holding K3o. Equally unsurprisingly, the board runs out A333K. Sigh and repeat 3x/week for the next few years) that doesn't work out for whatever reason.

Expectations are all relative to be honest. Expectation that Man City win the title now are very reasonable, but if by some weird series of events they didn't, it doesn't mean that it was an unreasonable expectation. If someone is currently expecting Liverpool to win the title, which is mathematically possible but they ridiculously long shot, then that was not reasonable.Originally posted by pokerhand View PostComment

It isnt developed, no plasterboard or carpets... but who needs those in a mancave.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

If you think news is going to tank a market 5-10% and it rallies, and continues for months and month, it's time to reassess. It's like the Chief raising on the river, calling cause you think his range is capped at X and he shows the nuts.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
The same kind of people putting Hilary at 99% were the people selling when Trump took the lead. It was just a simple level of thinking. I know people who got hosed on that because they couldn't get past "I think Trump is an idiot, sell"
As Donald Trump celebrated his surprise election win over Hillary Clinton and equity futures swooned in response, billionaire investor and Trump supporter Carl Icahn headed home to start trading.
Mr. Icahn, 80, left President-elect Trump's victory party in the early hours of the morning to bet about $1-billion on U.S. equities, he said Wednesday in an interview on Bloomberg TV.
"I thought it was absurd that the market, the S&P was down 100 points on Trump getting elected," Mr. Icahn said in a phone interview. "I tried to put a lot more to work, but I couldn't put more than about a billion dollars to work," he said.Your point was that markets moved lower initially on the tariff news, ergo it must be bad long-term, I'm demonstrating an example where that wasn't the case.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
But it's the same scenario again. It's simple thinking of "trade war = bad" without realising it's a gambit to force the Chinese to the negotiating table, which is the only way US businesses are going to get a level playing field in trade.
Stocks rose long before he got that through. He's created a pro business atmosphere, (labour participation has risen for the first time in years), cut regulation, and boosted expectations massively. Guess where Trump took over?Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post

Remember ordering a pizza there once and it was taking ages. About 30 mins past it's due date I eventually called up to ask wtf. They apologised and about 10 mins later a Chinese fella knocked on the door with it.
I gave him a €1 tip because I'm Irish. Normally give €2 so it was a fuck you tip really.
He looks confused and awkwardly takes it off me. Then walks off and gets into an S class Merc worth about €80k.

In the words of a hero of mine, Sophie Scholl, who was executed at 21 in Germany in 1943:Originally posted by jack90210 View Post
The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive.' The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves—or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn.
While walking to her execution Sophie's last words were "How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?"
RIP Arnaud Beltrame.Comment
