Update from the weekend

The Big O Poker Room was open for tournament action on Saturday. In an effort to get ready for our Vegas trip on November 3rd, we switched up the tournament format to mimic those run at places like the Plaza. The Wife (TW) was able to back her way into the money. After the main tournament we ran some single table shootouts/SNGs structured exactly like at the Plaza. TW continued her winning ways and cashed in both of those as well.

Before the tournament started the Crazy Asian asked me for a single college football pick. After looking through the lines, (and being in Big 12 country) I noticed an easy one - Texas A&M (+3.5) at Colorado (-3.5). Going into the game A&M was 3-1, but barely beat Texas State and Baylor at home. So the Crazy Asian put his money on Colorado and easily cashed - Colorado 41 Texas A&M 20.

The next morning the Crazy Asian called again asking for a single pick to put all the money he won from the college game on an NFL game. I went with what I thought was an easy pick - Dallas (+3.5) at home against the Eagles (-3.5). The Crazy Asian put all $90+ he won from the night before on this game and then a little extra on a 3 team parlay including this pick (2 picks for the early games). So going into the Dallas game his parlay was 2-0. Once the Eagles whooped the Cowboys the Crazy Asian would clear an easy $300 or so.


Dallas 33 Philly 10

OUCH !!!

Needless to say I don't think the Crazy Asian will be asking me for any picks anymore.
