Heavy training

I use the term heavy training quite lightly in this instance. Basically i'm staying up late cause the FTOPS event 1 kicks off at 2am our time and i want to be in peak mental condition for it, well at the very least i want to be awake. Event 2 is the same time on thursday at 2am and they are both $216 so if i make it past the 2nd hour of either of these comps i want to give myself a shot or i could just get one of my flatmates to play when they get up, hmmmmmmmmmm.
I've played a bit tonight but only a few sng's and one very early exit in an MTT, up about $600 so nothing to exciting. What is exciting however is the USPGA which starts on thursday and in the immortal words of sky bet, it matters more when there's money it! I've gone for three to win bets which are a little silly but all three are playing quite well and have quite long odds: $75 on M A Jimenez at 66/1 (ship the $5K). $50 on R Goosen at 22/1 and $50 on Zach Johnson at 50/1. They also had Zach Johnson at 80/1 so i stuck $25 on that. I'm sure that all these bets seem like long shots but with no tiger it's so open and as long as 1 of my men is in with a shout on sunday i'll be a happy bunny and if its Zach Johnson that would obviously be awesome.
I've also got some bets on the US Open but that is after the Olympics so plenty of time and may change a few before the start. The one bet i will not be changing however is my $50 on big Andy Murray to take it down at 15/1, good luck getting a price better than that. It's coming up to 3am and i'm exhausted not looking good for event 1.
