Might be a bit difficult to make out, but what you are seeing is my hockey pool win (circled are my picks and the pink highlights are the actual winners) where I successfully predicted 18 on 20 results for last weekend's NHL games. I turned $2.00 into $118...sweet! The previous week I didn't win but still did alright...13 on 18 correct, the winner correctly guessed 14 so I almost had a piece of that pie, too. Maybe Pro-line will be next?

We had our final United Way poker tournament at work where 1/2 the buy-ins go to charity. I lost three weeks straight but today managed to come out on top and take the $50 first prize (so in actual fact, I came out ahead $10 for the month)and handed out some bad beats at the end to win. With about 1/3 of the chips in front of me playing heads-up, I went all-in with 4-5 to steal the blinds but was called with Ace-King, and I hit a four on the turn to double up. My Queen-9 of diamonds clashed with King-9 of spades, but I rivered a flush to double up AGAIN. The last hand was an all-in with King-Jack, and I called with Queen-Jack and paired my Queen on the flop to become the winner. I can't remember the last time I laid so many bad beats in one sitting on someone, but, THAAAAAT'S poker! And this makes up for all those times SBP got the bad beats laid out on HIM!
