I ran into a neat video of my favorite Hoosier last year, Verdell Jones. Verdell was criticized heavily during the start of the season all the way through the midpoint on Peegs, well some kept on him all year. I was super impressed when in his first college game, he runs the point and puts up one of the more impressive stat lines that you will see. He put up 18 points on 4-11 FG shooting and 10-13 FT shooting. Yes the fg shooting % isn't great but he gets to the line so much it compensates for his missed fgs as his TS% is very good. He also had 5 assists 5 rebounds 3 steals and 3 blocks! Easy game. Here is a youtube video of him with highlights from when he was like 10 all the way up through senior year of high school. I expect big things next year.

Omaha is fun and a score
Lindsay is taking a nap as she wouldn't go play basketball with me, so I figured I'd finally update this. A couple sundays ago I had my biggest score since November when I placed 2nd in the Full Tilt Mulligan for $33k, first was $53k and the final hand was pretty nasty so that sort of sucked but whatever.
I have pretty much been trying to get out of the tourney grind and move onto cash games for a long time it seems but I always come crawling back. I have never been able to get into NL cash games, I just find it pretty boring. PLO otoh has been an enjoyable experience thus far as I am up $10,000 in the last couple weeks in about 12k hands played. $5k of that came on one Saturday where I won $1500 in the car at 2/4 and 5/10 then won $3500 more at 5/10 that night in about 10 minutes. I ran really hot. The rest of the profits come mostly from 1/2 and a bit from 2/4 which I have played more the last couple days.
WSOP is coming up and I'll be out there the entire month of June and into July as the main event starts July 3rd. I will be playing lots of events and hopefully running better on day 2s unlike the last couple of years. I will be updating at my twitter with tourney updates each days so anyone who wants can follow along.
