Why can't I drag the image so I won't need to put a link?

Some online photo sharing sites allow you to get a link to the image itself -- Google Photos does not.
Even right-clicking the image and saving the photo locally doesn't help.

The best way to post images is to save it to a local folder, then drag that image into a post.

Cheers,

360BB POT

Everyone just hit something on the flop. The good thing for me is that I only need to invest 3bb for me to continue.

Well, You Could Have Folded

I am 40th of 100 left -- 60 paid.
I enter this pot only because there is such a great price.

The big stack has VPiP/PFR 69/30
I'm not sure how to play the flop, but anything other than a shove will get raised.
