jazz vs clippers

what?? lines unchanged after Blake is ruled out of the game, still jazz +1 in Bovada???

is this post christmas gift or what? how could jazz not win the game when Blake is out of the game???

I just put $1000 on the jazz +1 in BetOnline

lol

Maybe because Favors is most likely out as well.

Hope that was just an extra $1K you had sitting around and didn't know what to do with. This might be a pretty ugly basketball game on both sides, but the Clips still have DeAndre Jordan. I wouldn't risk a dollar on this game either way.

I will, for sure.

I know it's pretty far away, but I've got my eye on Feb. 20th (Saturday) for a possible poker game. Just a heads up.

Skins won the division so I won 1K.

Need Broncos tonight. Not huge or anything.

Really need NC ML tomorrow. I'd be shocked if they lose to Baylor without their three top guys on offense.

**** the Tar Heels. Complete and utter *******.

I need the Spartans today so badly but I just don't think it's in the cards for them.

Yep. I did Bama 1H -6.5 and Bama 2H -4 so i profited but still. Looking good early. The bomb to Ridley hurt a ton. Then, the Cook pick right before half was a killer. 10-3 and you have a little momentum there. But who am I kidding? It was 38-0 last time I saw.

Do you play in the "zone" poker games or traditional? I play on the zone Bengals 6-player table at those same stakes.

Mostly traditional. I will occasionally put down the $12.50 for zone poker (and I will play the occasional tournament). But I don't really like it for several reasons.

1. Since you can fold and pick a new hand instantly, almost everyone only plays very strong hands.

2. Given the insane fold rate, I will very often get a monster hand, but end up only winning the blinds because the entire table left.

3. I can't track the players. In traditional games, I can quickly learn who's vulnerable to steals, who's a calling station, who overplays, and so on.

4. Given the three reasons above, I feel zone becomes pretty much a crapshoot. And I am spending too much time and effort to learn the subtleties of the game to throw it away on zone poker.

Why do you prefer it?
