Fantasy Football

I joined a yahoo public league the other night and had a draught. Ten teams, 14 week regular season with 4 team playoff weeks 15 & 16. Starting positions of QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, DEF, K and 6 bench spots. Point categories are:

Passing Yards (25 yards per point)
Passing Touchdowns (4)
Interceptions (-1)
Rushing Yards (10 yards per point)
Rushing Touchdowns (6)
Reception Yards (10 yards per point)
Reception Touchdowns (6)
Return Touchdowns (6)
2-Point Conversions (2)
Fumbles Lost (-2)
Offensive Fumble Return TD (6)
Field Goals 0-19 Yards (3)
Field Goals 20-29 Yards (3)
Field Goals 30-39 Yards (3)
Field Goals 40-49 Yards (4)
Field Goals 50+ Yards (5)
Point After Attempt Made (1)
Sack (1)
Interception (2)
Fumble Recovery (2)
Touchdown (6)
Safety (2)
Block Kick (2)
Points Allowed 0 points (10)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (7)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (4)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (1)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (0)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-1)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-4)

Here's how the draft went. I had the 9th pick. I really hate picking on the end because you have to sometimes take a worse player at a position or take someone early because it's going to be almost 2 rounds of picks before it gets back to you. Here I ended up taking the best TE, Antonio Gates in the 4th round as a result of this.

1. (9) Willie Parker RB
2. (12) Laurence Maroney RB
3. (29) Donovan McNabb QB
4. (32) Antonio Gates TE
5. (49) Plaxico Burress WR
6. (52) Laveranues Coles WR
7. (69) New England DEF
8. (72) Reggie Brown WR
9. (89) Mark Clayton WR
10. (92) Marion Barber III RB
11. (109) Ben Roethlisberger QB
12. (112) L.J. Smith TE
13. (129) Stephen Gostkowski K
14. (132) Seattle DEF
15. (149) Olindo Mare K

Decent draft I think but after reviewing with some experts I really did not need a backup TE, K, or DEF. By default I've always done that because of the bye week. So I made a few roster changes. I needed to go through the waiver wire, but luckily I was #2 (because I had the 9th pick) so I got the guys I needed.

DROPPED:
Olindo Mare (K)
Seattle (DEF)

ADDED:
Chester Taylor (MIN - RB)
Mike Furrey (DET - WR)

I figure I have decent enough depth now (I'll keep LJ Smith for now and use that roster spot to add/drop for bye weeks). I think my weakness is at WR, missed out on the top tier WRs in between rounds 2 and 3. Got two good RBs though, a good QB who apparently has no lingering effects from that ACL tear, and a top TE and top DEF. Should be a fun year. Unlike baseball you really only have to make your adjustments once per week, so I'll be sure to keep up with it.

Had another bad session yesterday. Actually I didn't play badly at all, I just took two horrible beats. I was taking a shot at NL $50 too. Lost to JJ twice. One hand I had 55 in a raised pot, I called from the BB, and flopped a set (9-6-5 flop I believe). Anyway, get it in with a half stack, he has JJ, river J. Great. Another hand I have KK and resolve to play a big pot with it. I raise to $3, SB calls. Flop comes 9 high, he checks, I bet pot, he calls. Turn is a blank, same action. River is a jack, he shoves for the remaining PSB, I call. He has JJ, sigh. Really wish I didn't keep getting two outed. So tonight I decide to take a shot at $100 NL (6-max of course) after the Red Sox beat the Rockies 2-1 due to great pitching to take a 2-0 lead in the series. I sit in with $100, leaving me a measly $5.12 if I lose it. But I resolved to try and get up $45 and then leave. If I go broke I take a break or redeposit or whatever. Sick and tired of grinding it out at NL $25 just to get t

Alright so I haven't updated in a while, also haven't been playing either. Recently Full Tilt offered me a $50 bonus without having to make a deposit so I've been playing a little bit. Probably only going to clear $10 of the bonus, really just can't get into playing much anymore with work and other stuff like bowling, which I've really gotten into over the past 4 months occupying my time. Anyway, tonight I sat down at a $100 PLO8 table. Morris Chestnut was at the table and I wa able to jump in and be top on the waiting list because it's PLO8. After about 10 minutes I got in. It was a pretty boring game, not much action, most of the table was playing tight. I thought there would be more action with a red pro being at the table and was hoping to see some hold'em donks occupying some seats at this table. I was up a few dollars when this hand took place.

Took the afternoon off Friday and headed to Foxwoods. Got to the poker room at around 2 and I was looking to play 4/8 Omaha8. However, the list was about 8 people long, and the person at the desk said that there was an interest list going for 1/2 Pot-Limit O8. It was open seating at that point, so I joined in and soon we had a full table of 10 people and the game got going. Early on I made a pretty bad blunder with a strong hand. I had A Q 4 2 on the button and called a $6 raise. One of the blinds also called and the flop came with 2 clubs and 2 low cards, giving me a Q-high flush draw and the nut low draw. I called a $12 bet from the preflop raiser, the other player folded and we were heads up. The turn was the 5 , completing both of my draws. The PFR checked and I checked behind (I know, terrible). The river was th e , 5 putting a possible full house on board. He checked again and I not only check behind but I turn my hand face up instead of letting my opponent reveal his cards. My
