ghosts

my roommates and i were talking yesterday about how when you are really deep in a session, you start to see things that you normally don't pick up on... whether it's getting value from regs' various 3b ranges or minimizing loss on boards that you're expected to go broke etc.

here are a few examples of seeing ghosts while in demon-beastmode.
