Not sure what people are thinking on this hand....

I can't believe so many people would raise the flop here:

I'm dealt Aces in the big blind.
4 callers
Small Blind completes
I raise
Everyone calls my raise (12 small bets)
Flop comes A72 Rainbow
Small Blind Bets
What should I do?

This was posted at another site.....my arguments for calling on the flop are throughout the thread (I'm sbisanenigma)

Any of you other pros see it another way? As mentioned, I'm baffled that so many people (including Dreamer, who is a brilliant gambler) think you should raise.

Horse racing value tonight (huge pick 6 carryover)

There's almost $1 million carried over into the pool for tonight's pick 6 at Hollywood Park. And that will also attract some extra stupid money into the pools that normally wouldn't bother much with it.

So, around half of tonight's Hollywood pick 6 pool will consist of the extra million + dead/little chance money. Creating another great positive value lottery ticket-like opportunity.

I'm heading to HP now to take a flyer. Anyone else near a track or state horse wagering place, go for it as well.

NBA today

I've got plenty of Pistons -3 +103....not much explanation needed. Laying -3 -110 sucks, but getting -3 even or better (or -2.5 -110 is well worth it.)

Also will be looking for Utah prices later in the day.

A rare NBA play for tonight

Trying to outguess the NBA lines is usually so difficult, but I think tonight's game is an unusual exception.

Jazz -3.5

GS has used up so much energy in the last two weeks, and it showed on defense on Monday. That shouldn't change with Davis and Barnes still nursing the hammy injuries, and this might be the game that such a thin team runs out of gas for awhile. Plus, the zig/zag playoff theory and recent public love of GS has kept the line artificallylow.

I hate stepping out on pro hoops, but this seems like a spot to do so. The Jazz could easily open this one up and win by double digits.

If you don't serve O.J. Simpson....

....then, of course, you must be racist :roll:

I would love to see if this owner has ever been accused of not serving a black person before. Since it would've likely made news in the past if he had, I'm guessing no. And if that's the case, the grounds for the upcoming suit are hilarious.

His actions must have nothing to do with the fact that OJ could've very well been a cold-blooded murderer. Nah.


Owner Boots O.J. From Upscale Restaurant
Says He's Sickened by Attention Simpson Still Attracts
By BETH CAMPBELL
AP
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (May 9) -- The owner of an upscale steakhouse in Louisville said he asked O.J. Simpson to leave his restaurant the night before the Kentucky Derby because he is sickened by the attention Simpson still attracts.

"I didn't want to serve him because of my convictions of what he's done to those families," Jeff Ruby said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "The way he continues to torture the lives of those families ... with his behavior, attitude and conduct."

Simpson, an NFL Hall of Famer and Heisman Trophy winner, was found innocent in 1995 of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman but was found liable in a civil trial that followed.

Ruby - who owns restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville and Belterra, Ind. - said Simpson, who was in town for the Derby on Saturday, came in with a group of about 12 Friday night and was seated at a table in the back. A customer came up to Ruby and was "giddy" about seeing Simpson, Ruby said.

"I didn't want that experience in my restaurant," Ruby said, later adding that seeing Simpson get so much attention "makes me sick to my stomach."

He said he went to Simpson's table and said, "I'm not serving you." Ruby said when Simpson didn't respond, he repeated himself and left the room.

Ruby said Simpson soon came up to him and said he understood and would gather the rest of his party to leave.

Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said the incident was about race, and he intended to pursue the matter and possibly go after the restaurant's liquor license.

"He screwed with the wrong guy, he really did," Galanter said by telephone Tuesday night.

Ruby said the incident had to do with Simpson's past.

"It was the first time since 1994 he has ever shown any class," Ruby said. "He showed it that night in the restaurant" by leaving quietly.

Ruby said after Simpson left, people in the restaurant started applauding him. He said he has received about 100 positive e-mails since the incident.

The walls of Ruby's restaurants are decorated with celebrity photos. A photo of Simpson and Ruby used to be on display, but Ruby said he took it down after the killings.
