FREE COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL PICKS / BOWL PREDICTIONS
1) NC State +7.5 ~ Everybody and their mother is jumping on the Rutgers bandwagon, simply because they finished the season strong against some mediocre Big East opponents. So What! The Big East is weak! NC State finshed the season on a roll too! NC State has a phenominal freshman QB. Take the points here for sure!
2) Texas -8 ~ Can't believe this spread is down from -10!? Texas is clearly the dominant team here. Ohio State can't score like Texas can. Terrell Pryor is totally over-hyped. Cody McCoy is the real deal. Texas' mammoth offensive line will control this game.
3) Kentucky +3 ~ Have you seen East Carolina play this year? This is not a good football team. They are mistake prone. Their offense is dismal. Gotta love getting points here with an SEC team. Kentucky is a smart play.
4) Missouri/Northwestern Over 65 ~ Missouri might put up 65 on their own. Chase Daniels is due for a monster game. So is Maclin. Northwestern is built for offense too. This game in the Alamodome will be a shootout.
5) Pitt +3 ~ Check out the injuries for Oregon State. This is not the same team that defeated USC long ago. They have zero running backs! Word is they are changing their entire offense for this game due to the lack of a healthy running back. Pitt should cover.

STILL IN VEGAS
One Strange Hand.
Still battling my way through $2-$5 no limit poker. I am determined to play at this level until I learn enough to feel confident moving up to a larger game.
I was playing at the Venetian yesterday, still on my Vegas vaca. Sat down at the same $2-$5 table from the previous day, and after just a few hands, I get 7-7 in the small blind. Five people limped in so I can either check to see a flop, raise to $15 to build the pot, or raise to $30 to try and steal the blinds. Hmmm.
I kicked ass the day before so I was in a good mood. I raised from $5 to $35. Young bald dude from Arizona calls and this lesbian blond biker chick calls.
Flop comes J-4-5 offsuit.
Actually a pretty decent flop with two unders. I am first to act, and the only way I can win now is with a bet. I bet the pot, $100 straight. (a pretty big bet in this game)
Bald guy folds.
Lezbian broad calls me.
Uh-oh! I'm fucked.
Next card is an 8.
I've probably lost. If I check now though, I am pretty much giving her the pot. If I bet small, she will see my weakness. If I bet big and get called, I am surely beaten, and soon to be the loser of a huge pot. Hmmm. Three choices. And they all suck.
I push out two big stacks of chips and say "$250." (trying not to show how nervous I was)
She pauses, and then calls. She has about $400 left, so do I.
Oh fuck oh fuck son of a bitch! I am an idiot! That's what I was thinking.
I just gave away most of my stack with pocket 7s. What a dummy I am.
River card is a meaningless King.
Reluctantly, I check. She checks. I say "you got me." I flip over my 7s.
She says "no, I missed" and flips over 2-3 offsuit.
I was shocked as I raked in this monster $800 pot.
Only in Vegas man.
