$\"\"$ <\/a>I have to hand it to our friends at Squeal Street. They made a good move this week.<\/p>\n

As a poker player, I can tell you that a good strategy is to make bets when you think you have an advantage. Especially when you think you can give your opponent(s) a compelling reason to accept the bet, even knowing they’re at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week several of us were discussing BBQ Fest plans on my Facebook wall. One of the Squeal Street members suggested, “One of the afternoons when it’s slow, how about a friendly Ques Brothers vs. Squeal Street cornhole tournament, for a keg of PBR?”<\/p>\n

Now, this is a problem because most of the members of Squeal Street hang out at Max’s Sports Bar. When the weather is nice, they get out the cornhole boards and spend hours and hours playing down there. Most of the Ques, on the other hand, play only occasionally if at all.<\/p>\n

Yet we can’t very well back down from the challenge without looking like wussies. And besides, we’d really like to get our hands on that keg of PBR!<\/p>\n

Ques Brothers: Who’s good at cornhole?<\/p>\n

(By the way, if anyone is looking to buy cornhole boards, my Amazon store Mid-South Alcoholic Supply<\/a> sells them.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
