Big Money Sunday – August 29th

Fun times on the site yesterday during the regular Sunday majors. Your friends at Full Tilt threw in the bi-weekly Big Little Tournament which drew a tiny field just north of 36,000 and a sweet $27,700 overlay for the small bankrolled players who put their wee $2 up for the shot at big money.

Big Money Sunday – August 22nd

I have the ridiculous love affair with numbers, not that I’m a brilliant mathematician who can snap call with answers to the toughest equations, it’s just a weird obsession with crunching them to see what kind of data falls out on the other end.
