Many of you are more serious players than me and play at stakes I'll never approach.

You'd think it would come down to picking winners, but I'm not sure that is the case. In fact I know that is not the case. In every Toga contest I've run on DT, it's the guy that hits the long shots that wins.

In contests, it seems the same. Chalk eaters never put together enough wins even if its more than others to beat out the guys that hit a couple shots.

For some reason I do better at contests than straight action. I think Paul said that money management is key and contests kind of put you on cruise control to not get carried away. I need that.

I'll tell you what's a lot of fun is live one on one. After a couple races it's usually easy to profile your opponent. I had one chalk player that needed $15 to beat me in the last in a live race and chose a 9/5 shot. Those people are easy money if you have a have decent day
