Basketball Season

We are fully deep into basketball season. Ive been doing the campouts to get good seats for all the games with my friends. We even bought a tent a few days ao to upgrade and avoid the freezing weather. One of the campout days they let us sleep in Pauley Pavilion for the first time in 3 0years. It was sweet. I played a little game on Wooden Court and ended up hitting the winning shot to claim victory in our 3 on 3 match.

So basketball recap: We dominated USC, blew a lead to Washington, and lost ot West Virginia who is a great team, so meh. With all our injuries, im pretty happy with where we are. I think we will make a solid run in the big tourny.

Other than sports ive been attending class and partying etc. As far as poker, i play 3/6 NL when i play, which isnt often. I also do a tournament or two on occasion. Right now im in the 215$ sunday pokerstars tournament. It started with over 4k people and there about 1800 left as i write this. Average like 5400 and ive got 8k. First is 163k, so i better win! ; )

Some fun hands

2/4 No limit. Im getting all the chips in with the best in the big pots, but the river has been nasty. First hand i flop top two and am pretty sure hes got AJ or overpair, so easy call. Second hand i have THE NUTS and get sucked out on.
