I'm sorry, you're looking for the WTF thread. This is arguments.

It’s sad we’ve reached the point where that wasn’t immediately recognized as a joke

I think it was less about the seating max, and more that a cold deck induced more tilt because of the COVID mandated measures.Slight derail, but OP I urge you to reconsider your opinions on 6-max. The blinds are zero-sum, and the game of poker is built around winning them. Study some recommended preflop ranges and you will realize you get a much higher VPIP in 6max, which is just more poker in the same time investment.
6-max (or even 8-max) is the shiny silver lining in the poker covid cloud
It wasnt about losing blinds, it was hours of unplayable shit cards resulting in throwing away constant blinds.I don’t want to get into a covid debate.
But 6-max is the best poker imo.
my game is tailored to these and personally I love them. If you’re worried about losing blinds, you’re looking at it wrong. Your hands are more valuable so you should be widening your range at these tables.
You could be card dead playing 8-9 handed as well though.It wasnt about losing blinds, it was hours of unplayable shit cards resulting in throwing away constant blinds.
If you like 6 handed, you know they'll be going back to full tables after this goes away. I wish it had been like vegas with drunk frat boys trying to impress people with how many chips they can push around. Half a half table of tight old regulars who wont pay you off for making hands makes it worse.You could be card dead playing 8-9 handed as well though.
I agree I couldn’t handle the plexiglass or masks myself, I love the social aspect, but 6 max may be the best thing to come from this
6 max PLO is my fav gameI don’t want to get into a covid debate.

Because that was, and has been, the default position of the medical scientific community for as long as I've been alive. (actually, even longer)Back in the first few months of this year fauchi and other experts were not recommending masks, even though the CDC has clearly known for decades how a respiratory virus is spread...why?
Because that was, and has been, the default position of the medical scientific community for as long as I've been alive. (actually, even longer)
It's still the position of those more interested in actual medical science & less interested in bureaucratic political careers. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) would be one of them: https://aapsonline.org/mask-facts/
Of course, if you have a position that differs from the political elitist class & their mainstream media lackeys, you don't count & no one hears about it.
& that's why Fauci "disappeared" from the radar for 2-3 weeks while he "got his political mind right" & came back touting masks as a miracle.
Which is nothing new.... Anyone that lived through the 80s has seen Fauci do that exact same politically choreographed two-step before... that's old news.
If you understand anything about physics (it's a thing they used to teach in school - ask your grandparents), know the relative sizes & characteristics of the properties involved, & apply some common sense, you know being told you can "stay safe" by placing a cocktail napkin or a piece of your wife's underwear over your pie-hole & schnozz is the equivalent of it being possible to catch a mosquito in a codfish net.
"Oh, but it the 'droplets' that you're catching."
Really?.... "droplet" is a relative term.... got a size range on the ones yer yappin' about? I don't care WHAT your girlfriend told you.... size matters Sparky.
Hold that piece of old wife-beater t-shirt someone sold your gullible *ss as a "mask" that you're wearin' up to the light.... can you see through it? 'Cause if ya can, & I'm betting you can.... you ain't stoppin' sh*t.
"Droplet", as far as your normal breath goes, can be as small as 0.3 to 8 micro meters. In millimeter terms, there's a couple zeros to the right of the decimal point there. You ain't seein' 8um without a microscope. (in some circles we call that size range an "aerosol"... just so you know)
Think I'm kidding?.... Ever seen anyone that wears glasses breathe on them to clean 'em? Where'd that "fog" come from that suddenly appeared on the lenses? What do you think that was?
The moisture "droplets" in their breath. They just gathered on the glass in a concentration dense enough for you to see 'em.
We exhale "droplets" all the time, only when we talk, cough, sneeze, etc do we apply enough force to dislodge ones large enough to see. The smallest ones come on a routine basis. We are over 60% liquid after all.
Now, is a 0.3um droplet/aerosol particle large enough to contain a virus? Well, I don't know about you, but I tend to think that something we can see with a microscope is large enough to contain something that the most powerful optical microscope on the planet can't. Yes Sunshine, 0.3 micro meters is larger than 5 nano meters. By a factor of about 600. (0.003 vs. 0.000005)
& even if you were lucky enough to catch that "droplet" in your used underwear, it's only going to stay there long enough to be dislodged by your next exhalation blast.
& don't tell me I should feel safe wearing a Kotex over my face for hours on end soaking up all sorts of nasty-*ss crap & saving it for later. What an awesome concept... something didn't quite make it through the 1st time, let's give it multiple repeated attempts at the assault. Exactly what brand of genius thinks that's a good idea? Someone remind me never to trust my well-being to THAT guy.
Look, if you wanted to make the case that putting on a disposable mask only for as long as needed in a higher-risk space & then actually DISPOSING of that mask immediately upon leaving that space might have a remote chance at tilting some of the odds slightly toward my favor, that might be something I'd have a hard time arguing with. However slight, it might move the needle just a tad. So sure, OK.
But, anything short of that.... you ain't stoppin' jack sh*t.
Hold that piece of old wife-beater t-shirt someone sold your gullible *ss as a "mask" that you're wearin' up to the light.... can you see through it? 'Cause if ya can, & I'm betting you can.... you ain't stoppin' sh*t.
Even the best common mask, the N95, is not completely effective.
So the thinking is, if it isn’t going to stop 100% of what’s coming my way, go completely unprotected.Then why even bother? I see all these tools walking around stores with this crap on their face it makes me fucking laugh my ass off. Now add these people at a poker table passing plastic and chips around and I’d lose my voice preaching.
And this is the “how this affects ME” thinking that’s so dangerous. True, if you’re young and healthy, it really isn’t much to really worry about, most likely a bad cold, what’s all the fuss about?Unless you're over age 65 or have some other underlying medical condition your chances of dying from this thing are microscopic to non-existent.
Ya we covered that already. Stay home or somewhere else with zero human contact. Zero. Telling my kids they can’t go to school and having my kindergarten kid home schooled because of fear is a deal I’ll never buy. It’s life changing for them. Poor kids. Telling me and my family we can’t work and thus feed our selves is almost 10x worse. Now any douche trying to tell me that a China made mask protects me in Walmart or at a poker table is a complete and total joke. If your scared go to church and good luck with the zero contact, I don’t wear a mask unless forced and when I do everyone around will know of my discomfort and disagreements with them. I feel it’s my duty and I know it’s my right as an American. God bless us all. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!And this is the “how this affects ME” thinking that’s so dangerous. True, if you’re young and healthy, it really isn’t much to really worry about, most likely a bad cold, what’s all the fuss about?
The REAL danger is that this leads to an increase in behavior that could unknowingly bring the virus home to people that ARE at risk.
I’m going to bow out of this conversation at this point. I wish everyone and their families have a safe and healthy holiday season.
BZZZZT!!!! Wrong answer.... but thank you for playing.... next contestant pleaseAnd this is the “how this affects ME” thinking that’s so dangerous.
Ya that or just keep up the insults. That seems to be the theme here by your little posse of tv zombies.@Colquhoun , you may want to learn how to make use of the "ignore" feature. It's really nice.
I wouldn't invite stupid people into my home, so why allow them in digitally?

They way they are being used and policies implemented, the difference is so minuscule as to be non-existent.Sure you might still get covid with a mask, but the odds are lower,
Look into these vaccines before you get one is all Im gonna sayHopefully, that won't be long. Vaccine is rolling out. As long as people get innoculated, we can hopefully be back to normal poker in several months.
