seat position

very seldom put up two posts in one day but ....

one of the things you have to be aware of is seat position and by this what i mean is that you want the strong players to your right and weak to your left. today there was a fellow who had over 2k in front of him which is HUGE at a 1-2 table and i moved to another seat so he would be to my right. he liked to push all in and i wanted to be able to trap him. also he raises a lot and that will keep me from playing so-so hands, which is cool.

well, i trapped him on basically my very first hand after moving. i am in bb with 5-7 off suit and there is no raise. flop comes 3-4-6 rainbow. da nutz. i check and everyone checks. fuck. jack of diamonds comes on turn putting two diamonds on board. i bet 15 dollars into pot and everyone folds to big stack who is on button. he goes all in. i call. he had 5-2 for the smaller straight. YES.

ended up about 400 to the good today.

and that doesn't count my winnings on bb yesterday where i had uconn, xavier, missouri, and villenava (sp) on a parlay and uconn by itself. YES!!!!

today i have okla., n.carolina and michigan state. we shall see. probably should have taken louisville to cover but i am not sure about them. hell, unlv beat them.

You should have taken Louisville to cover? No shit. 40 points should have done it. 103-64. Ouch.

Plus you got your other 3 picks right again. Damn, Ron! You must be cleaning up.

j.t.

louisville was 0-2 against the spread in the tournament, but having said that, still should have taken them. the favorites have had a hard time until the 16 but now the cream goes to the hoop.

i don't bet big, 10-40 dollars just so i have a reason to cheer someone on since my little team is home licking its wounds and waiting for next year. but yeah, am ahead for the tourney.
