Wow, 7-1 this weekend by Lock of the Day. I bought their picks for $35 this weekend because they boasted it was their College Football Lock of the Month. It was Georgia Tech -5 vs Virginia. I liked the game too so I put $2200 on Gtech (but I got -5.5). Didn't matter as the Yellow Jackets blew out the Cavaliers 34-9. Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaawww!!!!!!!
Props to Lockoftheday.com. They had a great weekend. So did I.
Tonight, I've got $550 on the Eagles vs Redskins.....

No-Limit Hold'em. DO YOU MAKE THE CALL?
Poker Blog
You make the call.
Playing $2-$5, $400 max buy-in.
I have a $700 stack. Playing 6-handed at Pechanga card room.
In early position I raise to $20 with A-10. I had been raising a lot, and wanted to keep up my aggressive reputation. Two callers.
Then 50 yr-old tiny Vietnamese guy with black slicked back hair raises to $70. He was a gambler, and I had position on him, and I had an Ace, so I made a loose call. (Most of the time I would fold there)
One other guy called.
Flop comes A-9-5, two clubs.
Crazy Vietnamese guy immediately goes all-in for $380.
I am next to act. One other guy behind me, and he was a crazy jerk. I hit my ace, but I have a mediocre kicker.
DO YOU CALL? Or fold or raise? below.....
This is a tough call. That is a large amount he bet. I bought in for $400 and now he is betting almost my entire buy-in. Hard to put crazy guys on hands too.But his all-in is totally crazy. If he had KK or QQ like I thought he did, then this is suicide. If he has AK or AQ or A9, then I am in deep trouble. However, a $380 bet doesn't want action. If he has those three hands, he would want action. I must have him beat. So I called. Other guy folded.My opponent had A-8 both clubs, top pair with a flush draw. No club came and I took down the healthy pot.
