What a weekend - UT won, the Astros won big twice and I won playing poker.
I just typed a huge post on the UT game and accidently lost it. So, you'll have to ask me about it over a beer; I am not going to re-type that one.
Here is a thought from last night's game: You call a pot-sized bet on the flop and turn with one draw to the nut low and one draw to the nut high. What a dumb thing to do. That shot at the high and low that is so nice on the flop becomes a not-so-nice shot at the high or low on the turn. The former is a chance to scoop. The latter is a big bet hoping to get lucky and win 1/2 the pot (1:2 odds)
I did that twice last night. Fortunately, I won in spite of the hits I took on those pots.
