Football and Poker

TGIFS. "FS" being football season.
Michigan's offense looked good, the defense awful. Ohio State looked scary good. And I'm really surprised to hear Keith Jackson doing the Notre Dame - Pitt game; hopefully this is a sign that he's going to do a few games other than West Coast games this year. He's still the best in the business.
On the poker front, I appear to have found a game I can handle -- PokerStars WCOOP limit Stud Hi-Lo qualifiers. I've been playing a bunch of the WCOOP and EPT qualifiers that you can enter with FPPs. I won (80 FPP buyin, 800 FPP payout when you unregister from the Round 2 event) one for the second time yesterday and should have cashed in another. Somebody called me down with nothing more than A-2-3-4, hit a 5 on 7th for the scoop of a massive pot, and I went out about a dozen spots too soon. Oh, well. I also played decent NLHE for a change in a EPT round 1 qualifier (30 FPP buyin, payout 2 tickets to round 2), finishing out of the "money" at 7th out of 291. Ran QQ (the best hand I saw) into KK, crippling my stack. Those are the breaks. Hate those Hiltons.
I'll probably get in a few more FPP qualifiers this weekend, since any reload cash won't hit until at least mid-week. Unless I get distracted by football, that is.
