Hitchhiker's Guide To... - just forewarning about feijoada. Traditionally it's only available on two days as it can take 24 hours to slow cook - Wednesday and Saturday if I'm not mistaken are when it is prato do dia (dish/plate of the day). Just check with whatever place you go to in advance, would be a pain in the whole to organise being there on a wrong day.

Down to 9 in the WSOP ME. The final table plays to a finish tonight. The pay jump from 9th to 10th was something like 500k, all so they could say everyone on the final table is a millionaire. Pretty insane. It must have been a very intense final table bubble.
George Holmes at the end of level 32 had ONE big blind. I read at one point that he mainly plays in a home game with his buddies and they all have a piece. They are on level 36 and he is now second in chips going into the final table. Chip and a chair!!Last edited by Opr; 16-11-21, 14:23.

American laws rightly or wrongly (wrongly imo) don't have an issue with wandering around with a gun.
Once that is set, self defense becomes the accepted rule here.
It's letter of the law vs spirit of the law I guessPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

I doubt the winner is going to care if they pick up 7 or 8 million and I doubt people watching on see much difference between 7-8 million for the winner when they are advertising it to people. Half a million is such a gross difference between the two places. You had people folding KK preflop without an open.

Looking forward to going!
Do get the casava farofa w/bacon side and a pastel to try also. Personally if I was going there, I'd be going for the Rodizio (hoj-eez-eee-oh) which is essentially all you can eat and the lads keep bringing back loads of bbq meat or at least they should be. Best way to get to try everything. It's steep at €50 tbh. Gauchos who are from the south of Brazil (Ronaldinho being the most famous) are incredibly proud of their BBQ tradition and service. Not uncommon to see them dressed somewhat like a cowboy (literal translation of Gaucho) in one of their BBQ restaurants (churrascarias).
Trust me if you if you had a plate of feijoada you'd have no need for anything else. Its the actual feijoada (beans/meat stew), seasoned rice, greens (kale usually), farofa, sliced orange, vinagrete (pico de gallo and not a dressing) and a pork chop. Think of a food coma after christmas dinner and you've got the picture.

Watching the highlights from yesterday. This is an interesting spot. I am presuming it is a fold due to ICM and never a check-raise on the turn as we are incentivized to play super cautious against a covering stack? I wonder if the likes of Onikel is even aware they are playing a pot probably worth a couple of million at least
Let's ignore you should probably just fold pre. 11 left and you are the two biggest stacks. Aldemir is a full-time pro. I think Onikel is recreational. Onikel with 44m to start the hand and Aldemir has 59m. sb v bb. Raise to 2m from sb (Onikel) with Js2s and Aldemir defends. Onikel check calls 2m on the 8s9dQc. Turn is a 7s and Onikel check-raises a bet of 5m to 14 on the turn. Aldemir calls and the river is a Qs. Onikel check and Aldemir jams. It is about 26 into 36 for a call.
Remember 11 left and pay jump of 500k when another two players bust and you have plenty of stacks around the 10m mark. You still have 26 million if you fold.

Love stuff like the GTA remaster shitshow
gamers are one level above born to lose horse racing degens
constantly spunking money on preorders, only to get the rug pulled out from under them on day 1
i stopped playing years ago but rockstar went on some run from the original gta original top down all the way to V
then they found they could just milk morons online selling virtual tat and yet still a bunch of saps thought they wouldn’t get fucked with this obvious cash grab

This is no different than the weekly Hollywood reboots or pre-sales of albums/concerts with free exclusive tat for the early buyers. Is it consumers fault or is it just capitalism and a 100% maximum money extraction model?
There's loads of examples of shit quality games being released WAAAY to early and then months of patching to fix them followed by buckets of DLC content. Loot crates, different characters/costumes and equipment etc.... Fremium apps are massive cash cows. Kids are exposed to all of the microtransactions, gambling (loot crates), pay even more to play (never mind win).
There was a time you could buy a video game and it worked out of the box with no major flaws/bugs. You'd get 100's to 1000's of hours of enjoyable game play. Nowadays you buy a not even fully formed game, more than half of it is paywalled behind online subs/DLC and you need an active internet connection just to play it. Your €70 game purchase quickly doubles in price and you can start chewing up microtransactions on top.
I've been waiting years to play a re-mastered version of vice city and wasn't too surprised to hear it was botched. The original game and soundtrack were iconic.

You’d have to say it’s grossly irresponsible to let kids play video games these days -China had the right idea in banning them.

The poles have enough issues as do we all it’s definitely one way of discoragong them coming don’t let them in. The us brits the French the ones behind most of the Middle East Libya upheavals can take them in.

1200 for new top end model
they then have new phones in every segment down to €500 - plus a very healthy second hand market
tjey just work and have a longer life (software updates) then most androids- plus normal people don’t give a shit about customising icons, widgets, screen resolution, camera megapixels or the cancer that is google play.

There were reports of migrants being flown into Minsk with the purpose of then shipping them onto EU borders.
That coupled with Russian activiity on Ukrainian border, soft testing EU borders with excercises in the Suwalki Gap and Poland's already wobbly relationship with EU
means it's a lot more complicated that letting them in.
Not least because there is not the political will generally in Poland to be seen as weak to immigration.
