I'm finally rebounding from a difficult weekend. Fantasy NASCAR was a fiasco for me last week and again it started out the same. As they tried to get the race in during a rain storm, the results were not looking favorable.
It turns out the delay was just what the doctor ordered. Resuming the next day, the favorites shined and I cashed in on 12 of 13 contests. If not for Denny Hamlin crashing in the rain or Clint Bowyer's bad (Nationwide) pit stop, I would have swept. In fact, I had my highest score on my only loser (1023-1015).
Fantasy hockey was also rough over the weekend winning only 3 of 14. I was screwed on starting goalies twice, when Bryzgalov sat Friday and Giguere sat Sunday. Neither were back-to-back games and both goalies were coming off wins. I think I'm most upset that my intel did not provide an accurate heads up on the situation.
Last night I was back on my game, winning 8 of 9 contests. Again, my only loss was a high score (123-117). One of my defensemen was a healthy scratch, even though he is rated as the #1 D for his team. Grrrrr.
I seem to crush on the weekdays but slip somewhat on the weekends. It will be nice to finish up the month a winner and keep my perfect streak alive.

I played poker this past week and it has been far more frustrating than fantasy sports. I bubbled 3 times in MTT's and actually played very well. However, it took me 10 tourneys just to make a cash.
I've started playing the 18 man NLO8 SNG's on Stars. Boy, is the play bad. It took me 5 tries to finally take one down, but the bad beats left me so tilty I had to shut off the PC. I'll definitely spend more time on these.
I am still struggling with my winning vs. my expectation of winning. When the competition is soft, I expect to win. I need to learn how to disconnect the results. Any ideas?
