Due to a lot of withdrawals for travel expenses and a prolonged downswing I currently have $3k on stars. So the challenge will be started at fairly low stakes, mostly 3r 180s and ~10 ABI mtts.
I'll be in Vietnam for the next three months (hence the 3 month challenge) which will make getting volume in a challenge in itself.

First days results coming in ~12 hours.

Just looked through some of the posts in my first PG&C thread. I was pretty terrible then...

I can't bring myself to play a game I don't feel +ev in. Don't remember much of my scoop schedule but I remember selling a lot of action so I don't think that had much of an effect.

Don't want to get too negative, since the point of this is to start off at a clean slate instead of viewing myself as 50k in the hole or whatever. Let's just say I haven't run so well in the last ~15 months of mtts.

Mixed feelings about this session. As you can see I was getting crushed all day before the last few mtts. So it's nice to end up not being buried for the day

But the 12/12/15/24ths were in decent sized mtts, made for a super frustrating day.

Oh well, taking tomorrow off since i've been playing long sessions for the past 6 days. Also pushing my sleep schedule back every night to try to get back to prime time hours. That ends up making me feel jetlagged every day until i find a bedtime I can settle on.

Day 1
-$61.38

Pace
-$61/$222

P.S. Bonus HH from a sick resteal I made in the h16 http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-h...908_51EDCBE671

Played a small session yesterday since i'm not great at taking days off. Regged a few higher buyins on party which turned out to be a bad idea since it really throws off my flow using hotkeys on 20 stars tables. Going to put in some volume today

Day 2
-$345

Pace
-$406/$444

Didn't get as many mtts in as I wanted, getting carpal tunnel in my other wrist now that my mouse broke and I've switched to lefthanded hotkeys. ~50 of those games are spinngos

A winning day!

Day 3

damn, super frustrating day again. Lost AQs<A2o to villain with 18 left, rebuilt and ended up getting it in vs him again here with 14 left when we're among the CL'ers in the 10r. Was pretty close to raise/folding river but I beat A5/AK/A8 and I'm getting insane odds.
