To say the least my poker play has been sub par since my fourth place finish in the paradise poker 50,000 rebuy/add-on a couple months ago. I just feel like I played a tighter game before that tourney. Right now I am seeing more flops and not playing aggressively. I think I need to start looking at my game a little closer and plug some leaks, because I have really been getting kicked in the junk lately. Plus, the influx of "new" players in the lower limit sitties I usually play does not help either. What I mean is, having 3 fish in a 10 handed game is one thing, but 6 to 7 fish is a fucking mine field. I think I need to play more positional poker and show a little more discipline. I hate playing like this.
The NFL regular season is about halfway through, and I think my Eagles are at a crossroads. Firstly, the division has gotten 10 times better. Dallas, Washington and the Giants are all playoff team imo. Plus we have San Diego here, then we go to Denver. It's a tall task, but we need to win these 2 games to have any shot at home field advantage. If I had to guess, I would say we finish up with 10 wins and a wild card spot. I really don't think it is our year. Now some random thoughts about the NFL:
1. Eli Manning may be as good as his brother. However, will the defense improve before Strahan and Barber hit a wall?
2. Is it me, or do we see the same season play out every year for the Seahawks. They struggle early, Shawn Alexander has a huge Sunday Night game and the team gets hot, come back down to earth in December, then get kicked in the junk wild card weekend?
3.Drew Bledsoe, is he done or can he still play? Just remember he showed flashes when he first got into Buffalo as well. And as much as I hate Meyshawn, I think he should be in Bledsoe's ear everytime he fumbles or throws a pick.
4.The Chargers may be the best team in the NFL next to the Colts.
5.Please tell someone on the 49ers defense that they are a 3-13 team with Smith or Rattay. Stop bitching, most of you will not be playing there next year anyway.
6.And finally, who knew the Steelers would miss Rothlisberger as much as they did? I know that Maddox didn't have Hines Ward, but do you think Big Ben would throw up that pick in OT?
