LIVE NCAA BLOG

I'm going live today for the NCAA coverage. Feel free to comment.

Some thoughts before the early tips: Yesterday the favorites were a whopping 13-3. Had you gone opposite of the rule to take dogs in round 1 you'd be up a LOAD.

I loved Stanford vs. Cornell, a team seeded 14th because of Penn and Princeton's former reputation, but nothing to do with the current state of the IVY which was pretty awful. Plus, none of those guys had ever been there. Perfect mixture for a blowout. Plus for the first time in a long time Stanfraud isn't fraudlent. They have some big time talent there. Not only did I take Stanford, I gave a friend 5.5 more points and took them again.

I walk to the car, try to metaphorically wipe the bird crap off my shoulders and contemplate how my bankroll got severely lightened on the day. I recall the fun hands where I got hurt, such as the one when I raised preflop and got a few callers. Flop was 882. I fire out an almost pot size bet and I get a caller. Turn is another 2. I make the same bet and get a call. River is 6 or so. I check, he checks. I show 99. Dealer is about to hand me the pot as he shows 7-2. He points to the deuce for her benefit and the turned full house. At first I think he's doing it for me rubbing it in a bit. My frustration is evident and I fire him a look, then I realize who is dealing, and see that she still almost swept me the pot. She of the 8 deals per 30 minutes and two mistakes per down. You know who she is. The dealer you are suprised to see every time you play there thinking she'd be fired. Still, I wanted to be angry at the dude as even though he wasn't showing me up he was destroying
