I didn't make it out to the Beau last weekend. Mainly due to being busy and dealing with the holiday. I was one of those fortunate ones who got to work on Good Friday. I love hearing friends and family ask "you really have to work?"...Like I'm lying to them b/c it's fun or something. Well that ruined any plans of going play the $300 noon and didn't really feel like going play the second chance and pretty much decided right there that I wasn't gonna play at all that weekend. Ended up going to Houma Saturday night and hang out with some friends and drink some beer and make fun of each other. Sunday was Easter and frankly I would have been thrilled if it wasn't a holiday weekend. Way too much of a production to lose a day of my weekend. Anyway, I have been able to play online and I have found some really nice success lately on stars playing mtt sngs. Mainly 18 or 27 players. These are really nice and take about hour and half and for some reason seem to be pretty easy to navigate. I have finished 3rd or better in a majority of the ones I have played. Probably cashing in 6 out of the last 10 and then cashing in 6-handed 3k gtd last night as well. These sngs have been pretty enjoyable and it's nice that people don't end up with 5 times the starting stack 4 minutes into the tournament.
That's about all I have going on as far as poker. The NBA playoffs are starting soon and after watching the Hornets last game against the Spurs I get the feeling they were trying to lock up the seven seed. I have never seen them, much less any NBA team miss that many free throws at the end of a game. Pedja completely wiffed on an inbound pass which just looked awkward. Can't say that I'm disappointed about them being the seventh seed b/c I don't wanna see them play the Lakers until the conference finals. It'll be interesting and hopefully Chandler will be back 100% and they can make a run in the 8 month marathon called the NBA playoffs. I'm really looking forward to watching my team play every 12th day. Just heard some interesting news while listening to ESPN radio that Keven Garnett may be out for the entire post season.
The NFL draft is approaching and as a life long Saints fan this is a very nervous time for all us due to the history of decisions....Chris Naeole, Donte' Stallworth, Danny Wuerffel, Robert Meachem, Antonio Pittman, oh yeah...that one year back in '99 when after the fifth pick in the draft the Saints were no longer involved b/c they got hall of famer Ricky Williams...not to mention they traded away a 7th round pick for Olindo Mare (A KICKER) b/c that late in the draft you can't find quality players. Well except for that Marques Colston guy who should have won rookie of the year. But the kicker was a solid pick up...HA HA HA. Well lets just hope that the special ed. group doesn't show up to do the drafting for the Saints this year. I think I might throw up if they draft Beanie Wells, this guy couldn't stay healthy in college and couldn't even dominate that juggernaut of a conference that he played in...The Lil' 10.
Speaking of the draft...am I the only one that can't stand listening to Todd McShay on ESPN? McShay is like a stepbrother that constantly tries to compete for attention from the parents by always having a different opinion to seem smart just in case he's right. Well Mel Kiper is making me nervous b/c he has the Saints drafting a running back and I just hope he totally f'd up that projection. ESPN just reported some great news for Sunday night football and me...John Madden is now retired and I don't have to listen to him butcher the English language while trying to enjoy a football game.
Most likely not gonna be any poker going on this weekend as I'm headed to Shreveport for the weekend to hang out with some friends...highly doubtful I will make it go one of Bossier City's fine casinos but I can't rule it out completely due to the fact that Bill told me he's headed up there this weekend for a non poker related trip and he may try to go play. Just have to play that by ear I guess. Looking forward to playing some more online mtt sngs over the next couple weeks and somewhat looking forward to playing in the upcoming circuit event Harrahs but I'm still not putting a lot of faith in them for the structures until I show up and see the structure sheet. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed it mid tourney b/c it was gonna last more than 3 hours. A lot more negativity in this post than I thought but when talking about the Saints draft it's hard to stay positive. Like many places New Olreans sports fans are just naturally glass half empty fans due to listening to our fathers and grand fathers curse the Saints even when they pick up 7 yards on first down by saying "I'm sure they're gonna run ball up the middle the next two plays and punt"...hard to shake a life time of those types of comments. This year the Who Dat Nation will have pleanty to cheer about when the Saints are Super Bowl Bound.
Till Next Time.
Keep It Real Homies.

in a time of political correctness you don't have to worry about getting a whole lot of that here...this will basically be my way of venting and analzying my play and thoughts at the table while being brutally honest with myself and others that i sit down at the table with...so "get your popcorn ready" and u might just learn something (i'm only about 63% as arrogant as i sound, haha)

McShay went to my school. When I was in Chattanooga before the big game his face came up on ESPN and football alums booed him. I think he was a 2nd or 3rd string QB. The exact opposite reaction I expected. So you are not alone.
