6/12/08 : Back from Boston

So my friend Jay had a job interview down in Boston, so I decided to accompany him on his trip. We drove down to Portland then took the Downeaster into Boston. That thing is amazing, they even have free wifi on it now; highly recommended. Anyways, it was sad to see the Celtics lose...but it was relatively expected. However, we put up a serious fight. I thought we did a really good job showing them that the fourth quarter of game 2 was just us being retarded, they can't ACTUALLY put up 40 a quarter on us. So tonight's game 4, I really have no bold predictions or expectations. I'm really just hoping that we can steal one of the next two in LA to make lives easy on ourselves. If we go into game 6 with a 3-2 lead I think there will just be too much confidence going into home court for LA to handle. So lets hope KG actually slept last night, and we can make something special happen tonight.
Here's a random hand from a $345 that really made today an easy day after coming out flat and dropping two $115's then rebounding with this and a $230 to end up +295 for now.

I mean, at the point where he had committed 700 chips, you have to realize that he's getting decent money on the 23% chance that he has as long as I don't have a monster. For all he knew I could've had 45 or 57 and he'd just have to hold a coin flip. Although in reality he could've easily minimized this to a -180 chip drop...instead of 1280. Anyways gl everyone -maxv2
