All you kids out there, that's my tip on how to succeed in life - create low expectations, then surpass them by miles. Just like all my relationships. Except for the "by miles" part. And the "surpassing" part.
But back to business....
.... a doctor, a poker pro, and a blogger walk into a bar. Folks, that's not the start to a lame joke, it's your Day 1 leaderboard!
What can't Dr. Hebert do?
He cures the sick.
He rocks the 100 on 100 relay.
And he casually goes 9 for 9 on Day 1 of Shamrock15.
But Jamie Rubin is ready to call his bluff. I don't think Jamie's ever NOT been on the Shamrock leaderboard. Forget the Stan Slam...has anyone ever finished in the money at the Shamrock and cashed in an WSOP event in the same season?
As for yesterday's advice not to panic? Time to re-think the value of panic in light of the UCLA-SMU game. Trailing by 2 with time winding down, the coach's son panicked & air-balled a wild three. Only to have it turn into the game-winning play!
That's what panic gets you in this year's Shamrock. Where a win from your 14 seed does nothing more than allow you to keep pace with those who won with their 14 seed. And where if you had Iowa State or Baylor, it might be time to panic.
