I would prefer if it ended up on mineO magic Bullshit thread, please let my 20 player tourney set of Rio WSOP chips escape the depths of the USPS system and end up on my porch! Kthnx!
Were there any chippers present?I find it unlikely that someone would harvest a full barrel but well see.
Would be less likely to do that. Well, I'd hope.Were there any chippers present?
Saturday night poker game getting cancelled 1 hour beforehand due to last minute cancellations![]()
And I thought the guy that swiped 5 chips from me had balls!When you forgot how many chips you brought out so either you lost a barrel or all tigers are back in their pens and theres no missing ones. Will know when I go home and see what I have.

Unless it's himself who cancelled.
If one person shows, the game should still play. Heads-up poker is better than no poker.
Surely this discussion has taken place on PCF before?

Lol. Definitely wasn’t me - I’ve been looking forward to some poker all week.Unless it's himself who cancelled.![]()
This was the situation - a bunch of people dropped out in the last two days leaving the host with a very short table for tonight. He let those who were still signed up know the situation and there wasn’t enough interest to play 4 or 5 handed so he cancelled the game.Surely this discussion has taken place on PCF before?
I can't agree with you completely on that one - I think there are plenty of variables. Some players would flat out disagree. Some players might not hate heads up poker, but would rather do something else. Personally, I'd drive an hour each way for a good game without a second thought. For a heads-up or 3-handed game? Probably not.
Anyway, it raises questions for me as a host. As a host I feel a responsibility to my players to let them know, we just got cascading cancellations, we're gonna be four-handed, I know you committed to playing 8-handed, and I wouldn't hold it against you if you cancelled.
I hosted a game once where I was flying in and arriving home just 1 hour before the start. I had set up the tables before I left, and left a house key outside.Unless it's himself who cancelled.![]()
I get it. We typically run a MTT. Snow (which is apocalyptic in the south) has cut us down to one, not quite full table, but We tell everyone that if they show we will play. Short-handed is s a good way to introduce circus games, as there is less variability.Surely this discussion has taken place on PCF before?

I hate that shit. Haggle me over $10 shipping for a rack that costs $300 or more? Fuck out of here.When you offer someone a very fair price at or below market, for an item costing hundreds of dollars, and they try to get you to lower it another $5-10.
Update?When you forgot how many chips you brought out so either you lost a barrel or all tigers are back in their pens and theres no missing ones. Will know when I go home and see what I have.

So it's ok if I ask for $50 off? Asking for a friend...When you offer someone a very fair price at or below market, for an item costing hundreds of dollars, and they try to get you to lower it another $5-10.
The fake need created out of thin air for middle men, i.e. realtors. I mean it applies to most tax services, car dealerships, sales people in general, etc. (im not talking about you if you happen to fall in these buckets)
But the necessary evil that is realtors to sell a home in the US. Blech.
Lol to think my CPA designation is lumped together with a realtor license...most tax services
We desperately need, and I very much look forward to, having financial professional help with taxes and such.Lol to think my CPA designation is lumped together with a realtor license...
I'm somewhat confused by all this. If the "average Joe" with nothing but a W-2 is paying someone to prepare their tax returns, then either a) they're an idiot, or b) they're paying an exorbitant amount to get their refund a few weeks early. So they're still an idiot.We desperately need, and I very much look forward to, having financial professional help with taxes and such.
The bullshit aspect is the created *need* for your standard Joe to pay a service to submit their taxes, not the tax service professionals themselves.
If someone has nothing more than a W2 and basic submission, they shouldn’t have to pay to get it accomplished.
Direct file, freetaxusa, etc. are regularly under fire and (I think) it’s deemed likely we continue to see these disappear, be eaten up by intuit, etc. Tax professionals are great, but the unnecessary need created by lobbyists and the US gov’t isn’t.
I know as adults we have to be our own advocates and educate ourselves, but ffs it’s 2025, we shouldn’t have to be tax/realtor/etc. experts just to try and figure out who to hire. Down with unnecessary opaqueness!
