Saving the Sunday

After watching another exciting Super Bowl, I was manage to save the day with a 2nd place finish in the $215 Omaha Hi/Lo on Pokerstars for 5100. I got simply drilled heads up and am just going to chalk up the deck to my misfortune as I got scooped on several crucial pots. That brought me net on the day to about 2500 in the black as I blanked out of every other tournament. It was an absolutely dreadful Sunday. I probably lost every key pot but two that I can think of on the day. I can't complain though.

The real complaints come with watching Pittsburgh win the Super Bowl by having both my alma mater represented at QB for the Steelers and favorite team represented in the Super Bowl MVP. That last Miami U to OSU connection is going to haunt me for a long time. Since I pretty much will never get to see the Browns win a Super Bowl, all I have left is to hope for pain in Pittsburgh. Tonight, they once again figured out a way to win. It's something that team does so well. It's something I've only seen on my 7-9th grade basketball teams and the Mentor Cobras, my travel soccer team that just couldn't lose.

Good news from the game comes in the sports bets I placed at the Red Rock. I won 3/5 of them.

Winners: Arizona +7, Over 46.5 points, and "No team will have 3 unanswered scores or more"

Losers: Larry Fitzgerald 1st TD of the game, Arizona TD in 1st quarter


I'm heading out to LA tomorrow to play some live events at the Commerce Casino. I plan on playing 3-5 events depending on how far I get in certain events and which days tournaments fall on. I'm definitely playing Tuesday in the $500 shorthanded no limit event. If I can, the $500 Omaha Hi/Lo, Stud 8 or Better mixed tournament on Wednesday. If I can, the $500 No Limit Hold Em tournament on Thursday. Saturday is the $1000 with a single rebuy. I'm going to check the structure for this and see if this is a tournament where I will end up putting in $3000, $2000, or $1000. This depends on how they run their single rebuys. Wish me luck and I know I'll be winning something.
