I really want to complete my last mini challenge in AC. Failing is no fun.

At Revel and Borgata you can earn comps without playing anything besides poker. Yes, I've been chopping the room with other players.

Your thread has truly been an inspiration to me, as well as many others I'm sure. Keep on crushing my friend!!
PS: If I may offer advice, it would be to exhibit better pot control. Controlling the size of the pot in situations where you are unsure. Also, value-bet more. It seems sometimes you get a little too "shove-happy."
I am glad my journey can inspire people. Follow your dreams, you can do anything you set your mind to!
You are right, I spaz out with draws sometimes. It can be tough to figure out when to play draws aggressively and when to play them passively. Sometimes I bloat the pot with medium strength hands when I shouldn't. I have really improved my value betting on turns and rivers recently.
