Suitedjustice's Ongoing Mid-life Crisis

It’s all blank board spins at max bet of $10, the game states save so once you finish you’re done with the site until they release a new seasonal clone/skin, I liked the Christmas one the best. You know the drill, drop a big value ball or bonus ball you continue if not you’re done. You need roughly to deposit $250 per site and I have had zero issues with payments in multiple states, what makes it strong is the higher RTP online compared to brick and mortars.
Yeah, probably best they take wjp out, it’s a weak game that you can lose heaps on.

TY for the tip!
A long while back I talked about running across the occasional player who seems to need to punt their stack for what are most likely complex psychological reasons.
The last hour before the poker room closes brings them into focus. They may have been winning all night, running like a god, but they're not going to let themselves go home with those chips. I noticed three players in the last two nights who fit this bill. This is a far cry from the morning promo nits.
Last night I booked a nice win on the slots: +$262 over 3 hours, and I won at the poker table: +$134 over 5 hours. I'm certainly not happy about being in the red on the poker tally after 90 hours, but big downswings are part of the deal. With a few good nights and/or a couple of belated promo hits, I could be back on track.

Poker rooms that close late night are great for those hailmary punts, love it!
Suited, does your poker and slot session win percentage differ much? When I grinded 2/5nl and below live cash I always won roughly 66% of sessions and my biggest downswings were never more than 12/13 buyins at any stake.
On slots, I win roughly 80% of my sessions but obviously due to the nature of slots I have had much larger swings than poker despite losing less often.

My poker session win percent is in the high 50s. With slots, 80% sounds about right. My variance at the slots is lower due to me being nitty and passing up marginally +EV high-denominaton plays. Of course I win less, but with my limited bankroll, it's a tradeoff that I'm satisfied with.

There is another far more damaging aspect of the Imp that I have seen; never in myself, but occasionally in other players. That is the inability to leave the table until they've lost their entire stack. It does not matter how big they've build that stack--and their stacks can grow very, very large--they will play to lose it, all of it, and they will not leave the table until th
I liked "felt-compelled" at the time, and I still do. That's how I was able to track down this old post.
May you find many more future bustos at your table, Suited.

can confirm, there's a lot of stuff where I think the magic number should be like 6, i ask you and you say your number is an 8, so i say... hmm, maybe i should bump up my entry point to 7 😀

Yeah, I am with you there I haven’t even checked Buffalo links in over year and the Phoenix/lightnings I’ve only checked a couple times this year. All you ever really find is marginal ”plays” and is why Trooper says he only wins 55% of his session. If you’re just playing mid/short cycle games and clearing out the ult X games, I think a disciplined hustler could win close to 90% of sessions.
Rolling Stone's 461st Greatest Album of All Time: For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver (2008)
For Emma, Forever Ago was written and recorded by Bon Iver's lead singer, Justin Vernon, while he was holed up for several months in a cabin in Wisconsin, and he completed it without an outside engineer or producer, which is apparent given its stripped-down, indie sound.
"Flume" is the first track on this highly-regarded album, and the song has 11 million views on YouTube and 62,000 likes. These numbers make me wonder why I haven't heard anything from this album in the 18 years it's been out.
claim that most people significantly slow down on discovering new music as they go through their 30s. I'm sure some of you cool older cats out there are the exceptions, but the assertion clicks with me.
I was 38 when the album dropped. I've never heard the name Bon Iver until now. I thought it was a person's name—maybe some Swedish folk artist—but it's a band's name, based on a phrase that the residents of the Alaskan town in the show Northern Exposure employed to wish each other a good winter after the first snowfall.
Vernon is a falsetto singer, and that is an acquired taste, and as I got through the album, I didn't find myself warming to his renderings. I do like the part towards the end of "Flume", where everything seems to break down, and there follows furtive noises suggesting that someone is fiddling with knobs or notes or grabbing different instruments. But that's more of an appreciation for a meta-song moment than it is for the song itself.
A few tracks down we come across "Morning Haiku & Frank Henderson - Equinox" which despite its stilted meandering overstuffed name follows along with the album's minimalist aesthetic. Most of the tracks seem to have the same simple guitar strum running through them, and none of them speak to me much, but I wouldn't mind having this one on a playlist for a post-hard psychedelic chillout session.

If anyone would like to provide the hard psychedelics, I would be happy to explore this notion further and report back.
Overall, I don't hate For Emma, Forever Ago. The songs would serve fine as background tunes for doing stuff around the house, but so would a lot of other not-great albums, and this is supposed to be Top 500 of All Time album.
If you love For Emma, Forever Ago, I can empathize. The songs come across heartfelt and personal, and wistful with a lost longing for an old flame or an indescribable place and time. But for me, they're too slow, and low-key, and minimalist, and repetitive, and lacking a beat. And I don't love the singing.
Rolling Stone says:
Justin Vernon didn’t plan on reshaping a generation’s understanding of love-torn folk music when he retreated to the Wisconsin woods to record his first album (“I was very sad and very lonely”😉, but that’s exactly what happened. What’s even more staggering is the way Vernon’s Auto-Tune and falsetto-laden DIY debut, which centered around the heartsick “Skinny Love,” would reshape the contours of the pop mainstream — from Ed Sheeran and Kanye West to James Blake and Taylor Swift — for years to come.
I'm not a fan of Kanye or Sheeran. Taylor Swift's all right, and I've never heard of James Blake. I'm sure I'll run into all of these acts if I make it far enough through the list.
A friend of mine, who happens to be a huge James Blake fan, introduced me to Bon Iver's "Skinny Love". I already knew Birdy's lovely cover version and still prefer it over the original.
But I don't mind Bon Iver's version.

Looked up the cabin. According to the interwebs, ~close to where I grew up (~150 miles south).
Also interesting Northern Exposure trivia. I was a fan in the day, didn't remember that part.

I like the vocals on Birdy's version, for sure.

Everyone I've met from Wisconsin has been nice. I don't have a large sample size on that, but still.
I liked it better on the second listen, so I can see that. I was ready to bomb it after the first listen, but I pulled back on the stick a little
the real band that requires a couple dedicated listenings before you can fully appreciate is tool - they play on a different time than most other music so the initial exposure can be a bit jarring because it sounds "off" until you get used to it

Spot on analysis : Tool definitely takes multiple listenings, even for the seasoned fan!!! It remains one of my top 5-8 concerts (in Montreal, back in 1997) and I wish they had come to Lima last year, as opposed to just BsAs and Rio in Latam, as it remains one of my favourite bands and great music to train to 
During my meth years I listened to Tool's Lateralus album dozens of times. It was on my main video gaming playlist.
The title track is structured around the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical progression that excites both mathematicians and mystics.
And tweakers, apparently.

That being said, the access to a TON of information nowadays, makes you realize that the singer of Tool, Maynard, is kind of an arse, as portrayed in his Joe Rogan interview, as opposed to the Dubnjoy of yesterdecades idolizing the Grunger singers, you know... 😉

Yeah Maynard made his disposition known beginning with Tool's earliest tracks. Case in point here.
He has a powerful voice, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have a beer with him.

Sounds like my personality.
One of those people on the front porch, I'm not sure which one, is my ex-wife. Sweet Jesus, what possessed me to marry a Tool fan.
