So 2008 has been a pretty good year for poker. That is, until recently.

You see, from January through July, I played 16 sessions.

I won money in 14 out of those 16 sessions. Plus, went on a win streak of 14 sessions in a row.

Then, Aug came. I’ve lost the last 4 session in a row. Mostly by playing bad.

Then, I’ve blown ¾ of my account on PokerStars by playing that evil new “8 game” they offer (Holdem, Omaha HL, Razz, Stud, Stud 8, PLO, NLHE, 2-7 triple draw)

I really suck at poker.

Luckily, I have football.

I’ve got a heads up battle with a work collegue. We pick Michigan and Nebraska vs. the point spread each week. It's looking like I'm up one game after week one (I picked NU -14.5 and Utah +3.5, he picked NU and Michigan -3.5) Michigan is on the ropes deep into the 3rd.

Then, I’ve got the NFL fantasy football. It’s a winner take all $100 league. I'm a lock. Adrian Peterson is going to be off the hook this year.
