    nevermind, wawrinka is the one guy heritage has an inferior price on


    so a 16 teamer at 5 dimes and a 15 teamer at heritage

    may do another in the 2nd round

    Parlay looks good. The only player I have a slight concern about is Radwanska. Something is wrong with her this year. She's just not the same player. She'll probably win her first few rounds here but i'd be on the lookout for any drop in form.

    tomic was a pretty rough matchup for the #1 seed

    I was thinking about leaving that leg out

    I also think the most likely outcomes are the most likely.

    It's ridiculous that Nadal has to play Tomic in the 1st round. All favorites in that parlay have worse opponents than the #1 player in the world.

    yep

    every major, there are some ridiculous first round matchups. You get two strong players against each other and you get two weak players against each other. You get some top seeds facing complete scrubs who are questionable in terms of being 'pro' and then you get the #1 overall seed facing Tomic, who's no pushover.

    Shouldn't the #1 seed get the weakest opponent in the first round? How is Tomic even close to being the weakest? I think he's ranked 52nd, and he just made the finals in Sydney.

    Draws are fixed no matter how they try to spin it. The seeds from what I understand are all put into a set position in the draw and then the unseeded players are "randomly" placed in to fill out the draw. The problem is that part of the draw is done behind closed doors. Then you get something like Nadal-Tomic ... ratings boost .... and perhaps also a FU to Tomic who isn't exactly on the good side of Australian Tennis still.

    I actually watched the Australian Open draw this year. A computer randomnly puts all the unseeded players in, and then the #1 and #2 seeds are placed at the top and bottom, and then the position of all the other seeds is drawn out of a hat.

    They don't play much tennis in that country you support so let me teach you something.....tune up tourneys dont mean jackshit. Radwanska is 4-5 in her last nine REAL tournament matches with an embarrassing loss to qualifier Mattek-Sands to top it off.

    Learn a bit more about tennis handicapping ....then you can come talk with the big boys.

    had about 120k chips, blinds were 4k/8k, I was getting blinded out by a long run of bad hands

    finally got dealt 99 with about 42k chips, so I pushed all in

    imack had AA again (he had it a few hands before I believe)
