Here's an old COTW where a magician goes through a lot of the tricks of the trade.

All inMclovin: im pals with a mechanic that did a bunch of the handwork you see in movies. I have watched as intensley as I possibly could from every possible angle while he tells me exacly how he is going to cheat me. He will even slow it down to 1/2 speed and I still cant fcuking see it. U got exactly zero % v a skilled crew and u wont see it coming or know you got bent ov

best friend in my 20s was the younger brother of a famous magician

he obviously learned some stuff over times

he was 100% an amateur, just someone who spent enough afternoons practicing in his room after school - nowhere near the levels of the pros

and he could deal what he wanted, where he wanted, how he wanted, all while telling us what he was doing and we still couldn't see it and it was a terrifying experience - after which i swore off high stakes home games forever

are you still doing the tax stuff ? do you specialize in gambling by any chance?

would a dm about that be welcome at some point in the future

Sure, you got coaching for running 40 buy ins below EV?


Just as an example, last week I was all-in with AK preflop 6 times, against the following hands: QQ, QQ, JJ, 88, A9s, and JTs.

I won zero of those.


it would help with his taxes

?

I meant have you considered offering coaching for side income lol


Sorry LOL. Thought you were asking about getting coaching and wasn't sure how to answer.


I can offer coaching for how to win flips.

Inquire for reasonable rate.

do you guys even get paid?

as someone who has a lot of experience pissing mods off I must say great mods seem to be as underappreciated as they are rare

ty proud pre owner of the 220nd ranked book on the War of 1812! Can I get an autograph? (serious) I love books and the people who write them

Mods are not paid. It's a volunteer position. I did get a free book from 2+2 publishing once, though. It's nice to be appreciated, thanks.

I'd be happy to sign your copy of my book. Thanks for ordering! Logistics might be a pain, though.

Author copies came in today, so the book is officially real.

I'm not currently playing poker but if I were, you would be on the top of my list of someone to get coaching from SABR.

Maybe you could fill out the coaching form etc on here and become a listed coach for side income. Anyone who's anyone on 2p2 knows you're a boss at poker, and plenty of people could vouch for your skills as well.


TY that sounds like a good idea.

I still remember learning the value of sootedness from a PM that SABR kindly responded to 10-15 years ago.

was that before or after the ‘pocket pairs can flop a set’ chapter?


Before the chapter where I teach you to never bluff Aussies because they are stations.


I’ve only played significant time with one Aussie. Super cool guy, super big nit, a lot of fun at the table.

Sup.


I read in the NPR (a fine publication) that a furloughed IRS lawyer had opened a hot dog stand in Washington DC.

Meanwhile, “BigSkip” is spending his time on a message board posting messages like sup.

Both of them dysentery-inducing in their own way


Just had to collect my 15yo son early from a Halloween party as he was falling down drunk

Literally had to carry him out and into my car and then the same at home and out him fully clothed (with vomit on them) into bed

Good for the young lad to learn an early lesson about the dangers of drinking hard liquor!

Can’t wait for that in 10 years!
