Last night I had a unique dream. I’ve never had a dream in which I won a poker tournament. There was an occasion that I finished 3rd at the LAPC M.E.. I dreamed about winning a satellite into the WSOP M.E.. If you know my track record in satellites, you’ll probably laugh just as I did when I woke up this morning. Other than winning a WSOP M.E. seat 3 years ago via freroll, I’ve never won a satelitte into a live poker tournament with a minimum buyin of 10,000. I’ve won a couple single tables into 1,000s, etc.. I figured what the hell. Lets see if it can happen. I played a 216 DS on Tilt this afternoon. I got off to a great start, but I was unable to draw out in a 40/60 with 4 players remaining for about 60% of the chips. It’s alright. I’m used to losing those. I’ve played a coupld DSs so far, but I won’t go overboard and end up playing the M.E. for 15kish like I did last year.
I decided to wager my last $100 on Sports.com. I tried to cash it out after winning a $50 free bet that I made over 4 years ago. They wouldn’t let me cashout until I sent in some info, so I decided to put it back into action instead. I’ve thought about the wager for a couple weeks and decided to bet $100 on Kris Allen to win American Idol at 25/1. It’s not the best bet by any means, but I think he’s the top sleeper in AI. Eventually, I think everyone is going to get sick of Adam Lampert, but it’s going to be tough to beat out Danny Gokey. Obv the girls on AI are pretty much zero chance at least imo. We’ll see how it goes.
Tomorrow I’m going to sweat the games after I get back from class. The first 2 games are freeoll games. I want the underdogs to pull through even though I have the favorites. Losing those games won’t hurt me whatsoever since I have each of them losing in the next round anyways. Also, everyone has those teams making the Elite 8. The last 2 games of the day are pretty much must wins. I have to win Duke. If they lose, I’d be pretty much eliminated from HSNL March Madness pending unlikely circumstances in future games. Even still, I’d have to run like Gbecks in DSs. Mizzou is pretty much a must win, but I still have somewhat possible chances of winning if Duke were to still win it all. If they both win tomorrow, I’ll be sitting pretty good. I’ll also need Kansas, Syracuse and Gonzaga to win on Friday. Gonzaga is a huge game for me if Thursday works out. It’s a must win if Kansas and Syracuse lose and it’ll open up a lot of doors for me to scoop 80kish if they all somehow win. Only a handful of people have Gonzaga over NC. That shouldn’t come at too much of a surprise. There’s an outside chance that I may make a sports bet on Friday. If I get Duke, Mizzou, Kansas and Syracuse, I think I have to hedge the Gonzaga game. It’d be more of a gamble if I didn’t.
