 How bad you would be that even Chamath is calling you out! 😂😂

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Heard from a friend that he flew out to his office in the middle of the night from his wedding because mortgage backed securities started to crumble in NA during ’07 crisis.

Dude was bummed.

What is the worst thing your boss did to you?

Initially he asked me to fill his water bottle, bring snacks for him. Dint mind doing 1-2 times. But it was continuous with other juniors too.  
  
 Took a chance one day to spit on his water bottle and brought snacks for the whole team (20 people, kurkure and frooti).  🫢

I will continue with this series for people who like this kind of content, drop "+1" in the chat and I will tag you the next time I post content.

I assume you guys know some basics of Texas Hold'em Poker. Flop refers to "the dealing of the first three face-up cards to the board"

Now, let's look at the table and their positions:
1. Blinds: First to act every street after pre-flop.
2. Early positions: Under the Gun(UTG)
3. Middle positions
4. Late positions: Button and Cut Off

The order for a 10 person game would be: Small Blind(SB) → Big Blind(BB) → Under the Gun(UTG) → UTG+1 → UTG+2 → MP1 → MP2 → MP3 → Cutting off the Button (CO) → Button (BTN) and then order repeats ...

Some insights:
1. Blinds see the flop at a discount because they are compelled to play but are at a disadvantage because they are first to act.
2. This means that more money is made in late positions because they have more information to act on.
3. However in short stack situations, where effective stack size is small then early positions are better because you have the opportunity to go all in before someone else can as you can maintain Fold equity(Equity from Aggression).

So, Expected Value or E(V) is how do you determine whether you should call or fold basis the size of the pot and your contribution to it basis the number of outs(potential winning hands) you have.

E(V) = Win % * Win Amt - Lose % * Lose Amt

For example:
Villain(V) [UTG+1] = $500
Hero(H) (MP1) = $500

SB/BB + Ante = 20/40 + 10
Here, Ante is the bet everyone has to make every hand. This is to make the pot worth playing for everyone.

Pre-Flop: $140
H = A 10 (suited Hearts)
V = ? (Unknown)

1 Fold
V raises $120
H calls $120, 5 Folds

Flop: $380
The flop is 8 Heart, 3 Heart, K Club
V = $370 (All In)
H = ? (Do you call or fold?)

Solution:
A call is positive E(V)  if:
 Win % > Call Amt/ Pot after Call 

You have a strong hand if you can get a flush here. 
which means you need one of the next two cards
Heart Heart Club | Heart* | Heart*

Which means:
Win % = 1 - (Odds of 2 cards not being Hearts)
= 1 - (40/49 * 39/48)
= ~ 36%

So,
370/1120 = ~33% is  Call Amt/Pot after Call

Since, 36% > 33% Hero should call.

E(V) = 36% * (380+x) - x * 66%
E(V) cut off at 0,

x = $404

You stand to make $ if you decide to call that bet. You can raise any amount till $404 for a positive E(V) after which you should mathematically fold.

An easier way to calculate this is to use 2% if you can only see one card after flop and 4% if you can see both cards.

That way, Win % here would be = 4% *  9 = 36%
9 outs because, 9 cards that are Hearts are left in the deck.

I got no clue what’s with the story on this.

Can anyone update us with the story on this please?

Bit of a rant and a solution. I have worked for close to 18 years now lived in various part of country like Noida, Pune, Hyderabad and off course Bangalore. Additionally lived in eu for 5+ years. I feel post return to India I see the population has in general become more uncivil and rowdy. With useless apps like Swiggy/zomato/ blink it there is a splurge of stupid drivers on street. Similar is situation with Uber/ola etc with them the density of village folks with no road sense have increased tremendously. They drive badly and threaten common folks at the blink of an eye even though they are probably driving on wrong side of the road. 

I feel common folks should be given gun license so we can protect ourselves as we have no other way left to save our family and kids from these animals

A few years back this trend came up on Blind, where people connected to each other over a thread and planned to meet outside the app, calling it a Blind date.

Why don't we start it here again?

Let's see if we can beat bumble and shaadi.com 😂

Chief of Staff is like the Badi Bahu (eldest daughter-in-law), expected to fix 3 decades of shit work culture

One of my bosses introduced me as "She follows me wherever I go"
Am I the Hutch dog?! (If you don't know Hutch dog, you are way too young)

It can be a rewarding role only if you know how to set firm boundaries; otherwise, people gonna take advantage of you.

I understand that companies want to start new year with new energy. But doing it in the last working week of this year is just nuts. 

Let folks enjoy the year. Do it in Jan first/ second week. 

By doing now, you’re literally spoiling this year and the next. 

To founders out there: grow some spine, tell your investors you won’t do it now. I don’t think it’ll hurt your company much (I mean you’ve not done enough, and that’s the reason you’re in this mess, probably suck it up and wait for few more weeks) 

To the folks out there, who got impacted, my heart goes out to you all. Good luck. Market is tough, but I know you guys will make it.

[rant]- What’s up with startups? Sudden layoffs in literally last working week of this year

They  opt for dec, because its quarter ending. The books will appear cleaner from Jan and that  quarter will look better when it ends.

It has nothing to do with new energy from new year.  Its like they clean the old shit to prepare for new shit.

I will go first☝🏼:

Me: Knock Knock !
She: Who's there?
Me: Ba
She: Ba who?
