For Billy

On Saturday I was home from work with nothing to do but think about my uncle's passing. I was unsure of how I would do on the felts given my emotional state. I decided that I would play one game for the day, and dedicate my performance to him. I chose a $4.40 180-person S&G. Billy used to buy me into these all of the time. In over 30 attempts for him, I only ever broke even. I was surprisingly focused, and I got lucky a couple of times. Here's the result:
