What the hell. McGrady 0-7 . Team shooting at a 33% clip in the first half. Still not too bad in regard to clearing the 177.5 but TMac needs to pick it up. All I have to follow the game with is Game Channel on Yahoo which gives a play by play and there was just too many, Yao misses a 4 footer in lane, Duncan misses a layup type shit. Put the ball in the hoop boys.

Piersy... we DEFINITELY need some help here chief... 103 points w/ 6 minutes left in the 3rd...???? Bleh... Plus, that moneyline aint lookin so good...

I guess the day started out alright but never nice to get your sets snapped off by gut shots but I digress.

Another hour session and not much good to speak of.

Another two short sessions. One at PLO8 at Martins were I get a moron to put all of his chips in with a dry straight draw on a flush potential board with no redraw to a low. Of course he hits and I lose a stack. Also played just a minisession of 4 table 5-10 6 max and god damn those fuckers are clueless at Party. One guy has position on me and has called 3 bets preflop with A9o, I have JJ. Flop Q10x (2 clubs, he has A clubs), turn x (another club), river another x club, I check the river and he checks with the nuts behind me, thanks sir NIHAN.

One more short session of 6 tabling 24 at Stars to finish up one the bonuses. I finally got a little love on a suckout

For those looking to make alot of money tonight you can go bet on the money line for the Rockets to win because I picked the Pistons (36 BU)
How about them Pistons. Finally back on track in the NBA with a nice size win tonight although had to fade a scare as usual as Detriot blew a 9 point lead at the beginning of the 4th quarter but managed to pull away at the last.

Also taking Pats/Saints over total for first half now at 23.5. (BU:2)

Overall: 7 wins, 6 losses
Overall BU w/l: +42/-20.9 = +21.1 BU

Piers what's the deal with rakeback. I think I play way too much to not have a rakeback, and I imagine it helps a little psychologically when you lose a bunch, but at least can get some of it back in rakeback. I've already signed up at almost every site, so am I basically screwed?
