[MUST.STOP.CALLING]

Lol I think I did it again. 290 points in my first 5 games of a set, then busted out of 6 straight. I still have a pretty good chance with my 290 points and 9 games to go but it will be close. I was sure I was finally gonna cash BoP (and honestly after that start I was thinking a lot more about winning rather than cashing) but now it is gonna be close.

Wish me luck tonight =)

Ask if you can move the decimal point on the buy-in one place to the right before calling.

I'm not sure the need to play this PF w/ ~6M on the bubble. As played, call and watch as 4 comes, as well as flush. Flush will depend:

- if BB holds higher heart flush, it will be hearts
- if BB has BDFD, it will be clubs

Special bonus: Villain holds A5 for the wheel and/or hits trip 2s/3s.

[Sharkzilla1]

Snap call obvs, however opening pre without shipping it is highly not recommended. Just jam it in pre or fold, and I would definitely be jamming.

Nah, came about 10 points short yet again. I figured that was obvious after I failed to make my victory post
Having an absolute killer month with 85% ROI in the 18 mans but it seems every single week I am just barely short of placing. I still can't believe I blew it after getting 290 points in 5 games. I obviously should have switched to the KO games after that start but hindsight is 20/20 isn't it.
It's also a damn shame I don't play more volume cause my last 100 at the 3.50s would score almost 2000 if I was able to put the volume in 1 week.

Anyway I should probably stop derailing this thread because this is only barely related to the thread title but I will probably make some kind of victory post in one thread or another when I pull it off, I definitely feel it coming sooner or later.
