LAOJoe & RTTRUTH's 11th Annual Collaborative Mock Draft

Since RT has passed, does anyone else want to trade up? I'll wait about 15 minutes...

 

I have 6:23 and 7:8
Does that interest you at all

 

You guys are still in the fourth rd? Did topdawg hold you up

 

I could toss in Kenyah Drake too

 

I drafted Dillion to run the tires off of him

 

The poker trick, explained:

Start with the three through seven of diamonds, the four aces, four other face cards (preferably not diamonds), and three lower cards (I chose the four of hearts, eight of spades and five of clubs). Helpful tip: don't put any tens in the stack.

There are two key things to do. The main one is that when you first lay the cards down one at a time in a pile, in your mind take it in pairs - but don't make it look like you are doing two at a time. Start with one of the cards from the straight flush, then put a face card or ace after it. Whenever you put down one of the straight flush cards, it needs to be the first card of a pair, placed face up in the stack, and the second card of the pair (not another part of the straight flush) is also face up. That will be five of the eight pairs. For the other three pairs, start with one of the "junk" cards (4H, 8S, 5C) , put it FACE DOWN (showing your friend the card first), then put the other card face up.

From there, it's automatic. Take the stack and take two or four cards at a time and have your friend choose whether each set gets flipped or left alone. Do this as many times as you want. Two or four cards at a time doesn't matter, as long as it's an even number.

When that's all done, take the stack and deal them into two piles, one card at a time, left, right, left, right. The other sneaky move on your part is to watch for one of the straight flush cards to show up face up in one of the piles. Remember that pile, as you want that pile to end up being face down (you don't want to reveal the straight flush yet, so you want those cards to be face down when you spread the deck).

There are two ways to do this. One is to let your friend choose which stack gets flipped over, then flip it and put it on top of the other stack. If the straight flush cards are face up, pick up the whole stack and casually flip it over as you spread it. The other is to do an equivoque: tell your friend to tap or choose a pile, without saying what you are going to do with it. No matter which one he taps/chooses, pick up the stack with the face up straight flush cards, flip it over and put it on the other stack and then spread them.

Five cards will be face down - the straight flush. It's an amazing effect because it doesn't matter how often you do that flip two / flip four thing. Once you deal the cards out into the two piles and flip one pile, it's guaranteed that eleven cards will be turned one way and the five straight flush cards will be turned the other way.

It's even better if you combine it with other poker deal tricks. Bunny really is a card shark.

 

@Torgo let me know

 

You were busy I see. Is that how you keep time

 

lol! Why would you say that? My last pick was early 4th round, and I'm not scheduled to pick again till 11pm tonight.

plus, when have I EVER held the draft up?

 

Don't have the cap space for Drake's transition tag tender.

 

You know when you are writing something very long like that you can turn on the voice recognition and read it to the phone and save a lot of time. I type pretty slow and that is the only way I can keep up with the text blasters

 

Was looking up the cap hit on Drake.

 

It was a joke because you were upset about someone doing it on the other draft thread

 

Already had most of it written. Just had to paste. Doing this on a laptop while also on a conference call on my cell phone.

 

I forgot he was tagged

 

This is for Arizona, right? Future fourth rounder plus current sixth for the OTC pick?

 

I bet they got your full attention. Me Torgo what do you think about the new plan we came up with
Torgo what plan

 

It’s Arizona

 

We could do that

 

Could or are?
