Being a bad poker player isn't a good thing...

I managed to only lose about $15 playing poker yesterday, but it wasn't because I wasn't trying. I managed to take $12.50, run it up to $40 and then drag it all the way back down to $0. I also managed to get AA cracked by trips for a $25 loss. Then I managed to lose $33 on a sports bet (sports betting is bad, much like crack). However, in an attempt to lose more money, I called an all in bet for $25 with 99. My opponent had AA. But a 9 on the flop saved me and some of the previous losses came back to me. I know how the guy felt as I've had AA cracked more than my fair share of times. And he claimed it was the second time it happened to him on that table yesterday. So had I not lost the $33 bet, I would've only been down $15 playing poker.

Arkansas hosts Auburn tonight in BWA. They are 11 point favorites which makes me think Auburn is the team to bet on cause Arkansas really only blows out the other team if I bet against them but I might try anyway. If they do not win tonight, the season will be officially done as there will be no way short of running the table that they will get in the NCAA tournament.
