@Anthony Martino all casinos have shut down here on Ohio. The governor declared a state of Emergency and banned gatherings of over 100 people. Effectively forcing casinos to close down.

If the same thing happens in FL do you have alternative games to play in?

I have an online site, although I prefer to play live.

I already made what I need to for the month, plus have reserve cash so can weather the storm for a bit if necessary

And the government is hiring census takers...

Hey @Anthony Martino , I am sure you are already aware of this, but I have been reading this and thought of you this morning. If you are not aware.....enjoy???

There is NO WAY you don't know of at least a few of these characters, and I am sure you will know the author.

Making my way through this, but I didn't enter the Tampa PLO scene until Sep 2019. As this happened something like 5-6 years ago I'm not sure of all the characters. I may know some of them from the casino games, but I don't play any private games (there are some out there, typically bigger than I play though)

It's an entertaining read. For your sanity, skip all comments and just read the meat.

Names were changed.... Mike in the story might be Joe.

I'm only on page 3 so not sure if any of these players are still in my games or only in the private games, or if they even play still given it was years ago

This is a great read.

I just joined a gym and got a personal trainer in March, was doing great, going every morning and doing over 2 miles on the treadmill plus weight machines, which for my sedentary ass is a big improvement, then they closed the gyms

I replaced it the first week with yard work, mowing (0.6 acres), housework and cleaning, plus pushups and crunches

Used the site Nextdoor to get recommendations for shaded hiking trails and got pointed to Brooker Creek Preserve, went with Jenn this morning and it was beautiful!

Found our new spot to hike each morning!

How’s the online games going for you?

 

[IaHawk]

Checkout the AllTrails app. We used that when we were out in Colorado and it was a great resource. Love the pics!

They're no replacement for live, but they got better since everyone is home now

Been multi-tabling 5 card PLO and Big O

Also came in 10th of 170'ish last week and 11th of 150'ish this week in a PLO tourney, most of the players are just terrible (guy who busted me raised Q622 UTG and called my shove)

I use it in the Adirondacks every year!

Great resource + reviews

Just got to the post about a 10/20 O8 game and I do know Vitamin Bob, he's hilarious and I played with him in the past in the limit O8 games. Haven't seen him in awhile, really tall guy so if he was around usually I'd notice him. Will let ya know if I recognize anyone else
