jokerstars

played for the first time in a while last night and stars handed me my ass dropping $350 in like 500 hands. makes the grand total for the month like -1.1k over very few hands. yuck.

didn't bet any of the UFN fights last nite although i liked one fight but didn't pull the trigger.

just bet a couple golf futures for this weekend, bit of a whim but i like both guys and they're both due in a small 30 man field.

J. Furyk +1802 - 1u
G. Ogilvy +3504 - 1u

gotta go finish handicapping this weeks nfl and maybe even look at some more bets on this weekends ufc card.

switched to stars

finally fed up with ftp enough to leave and go to stars. early on it's been really tough getting used to and i decided to go on uber monkey play mode and donate like $850 playing 100nl. since then i started reviewing my hh's again and focusing more when i play and it feels like things are coming back.

really haven't played much though, only a couple thousand hands.

i also moved some money onto a couple of different online sports books so that i could bet some nfl and mma. i've settled on betting in units of $10 and so far am taking a very cautious approach to it. im trying not to just bet hunches, instead going with sound reasoning and only picking a few spots where i really like a side. i don't expect to be uber successful at it but it will be a fun experience and i know i'll have a better chance at making a little money doing it rather than betting long shot parlays and futures.

i've bet 2 mma fights already for ufc103, they are:

• vitor belfort over rich franklin +129
• mirko cro cop over junior dos antos +116

other than that there are no real mma bets i like this month. i may bet josh koscheck over frank trigg but i'll wait and see if the line moves at all. koscheck is a virtual guarantee to win imo.

in nfl, i went for 3/3 in my first week:

• Seattle laying 7.5 to St.Louis (they won 28-0)
• Atlanta laying 4 to Miami (they won 19-7)
• Tennessee getting 6.5 to Pittsburgh (they lost 13-10)

for nfl i will probably only be betting a few games a week for the first 4-5 weeks until i get a better sense of where everyone is at.
