@SamGreenwoodRIO In the case of the Ohtani IBBs there is actually something to the hot hand “fallacy” in sports. Conditional on a player being 7-7 with 5 HR and 2 2Bs, his next AB is obviously much more likely than average to be a HR due to increased confidence and a variety of other factors.

The math on why you should rarely bunt or issue IBBs has been known for a really long time. Then the stakes become uncomfortably high and even seasoned professionals panic and revert to stupid moves. A lesson here for tournament poker players.

Seeing is believing - we just published a new piece detailing the massive scale and investment implications of the Stargate project. This is just one, xAI’s and Hyperion are even bigger. If any of you had any doubts - a year ago, most of this was dirt:

Big fight feel this week in Vegas. I truly love boxing. Like a lot of us, the fights were always on in my house as a kid. I can still remember being 9 watching the Riddick Bowe Evander Holyfield rematch in 1993 when some nutjob paraglided into the ring lol, or betting way too much on Zab Judah against Floyd and watching it in the pool hall with a few people who aren't here anymore. But as much as I love the sweet science, I don't love gratuitous senseless violence, something I think most of us are feeling, especially lately. Some can't understand that dichotomy, and I can understand that. One of my favorite parts of combat sports is when the final bell rings. Nine out of ten times they immediately hug, embrace, and forever have each other's respect. It's beautiful. No guns, no knives, it doesn't matter what you believe in, your race, ethnicity, religion or creed, it can be settled in, and left in, the ring. And we can all have an opinion on the outcome with passion and respect, even if it can get a little wild from time to time. I've been to a lot of fights, and a lot of boxing gyms; you might be surprised if you haven't. Beneath the surface, there is love. It's human. And at the highest levels, art. And although we may never agree on everything, I think we can all come together and agree on this one thing - that Terence, "Bud" Crawford is bringing the belts back home to Omaha Nebraska lol it's time to go to WORK champ. Either way though, no matter who you're riding with, much love, viva México forever, and may God bless them both. Thank you for bringing us together once more for another Saturday night. #boxing #canelocrawford #andthenew #ripginky

@padspoker 4bet NAI. Linus 17bb shouldn’t ever be a better hand, if you jam graftekkel can maybe get away from JJ since you sort of have to have QQ AK to shove pre here. Think 4b NAI is the clear best here. Gross to calloff vs graftekkel but think just have to squeeze out some of the dead $

Interesting spot in $10k tournament yesterday. Linus RFI UTG, I trap, SB calls, Graffy squeezes, Linus calls very quickly. Do we 1) Call 2) 4bet NAI 3) All in

what are some beginner bad habits for someone just getting into ruining their life

@mikejozoff @berkey11 Hey Mike, I’d love to introduce you to my good friend, also named Mike. Mike Hock. Think you two would get along well. I’ll DM you his number

@Fearthereaper77 @berkey11 Sounds like you need to stop playing so tight if you want to close them out

IF this gets normalized, this could be a game-changer for the large field grinders out there. So much of an MTTer's career is spent trying to recoup "owed EV" in the massive spots. Having a liquidity pool to layoff risk with is a massive asset for the long term winners.

@Graftekkel A+

In poker, you have to be willing to adjust to the current meta. Adjusting will take some time, but the big upswing is around the corner
