Splish splash this whale's taking a bath! Haha, thanks bud. Nice win at the ploppity-PLO as I was leaving!

Played 1-2 tonight and within 10 minutes was up 146. Decided, "let me stay and actually play a session"....

2 hours later I find myself bluffing with 72 on 45J board, turn is a 6 so with a straight draw I just ship it in! My opponent snap calls...has 32...I miss my straight draw and am now down for the night.

Pissed I leave for a 2-5. I get AK and lose to Q8 on a QT3 flop, 2 turn 2 river. I was bluffing the whole way and got it AI on the turn, and missed my 10 outer (I didn't even know I had that many outs). Now down to my last buy-in, remembering that I could have just left being up 146 I was even more pissed now. Two hands go by and I get AK again AIPF this time vs KJ and QJ. EL OH EL. I hold for the win and call it a night.

Not a monster session obviously, I was beyond tilted. Oh well. Still have a win-streak going, although this one wasn't deserved, I'll take it. Time to dominate next time I play!

Played 1-2 earlier today, got 3 outed after getting it AI on the turn. Dude racks up and leaves immediately (hence why I never feel ashamed to hit and run haha). I then make a bonehead play and just call it's session there. Damn streak is over.

Went back tonight, won a couple hundred at 2-5 and broke even at 1-2 later on. Nice recovery from earlier, still wanting to push this baby over 3k by the 90th hour. Come on big session, come to daddy.

Played on two great tables for a Thursday afternoon 1-2. Met a few cool people, a really friendly lot.

I had two huge hands, over pairs that I had to fold as the flops top pair repaired on turn both times. My opponents were gracious enough to show and both times they had trips. I lost ~160 overall with those two hands, and both opponents I'm guessing would have stacked off on turn if innocuous cards fell. So the swing was really from around -160 to +400. Pretty bad but sometimes when luck fails, and you still make a right fold and your opponents are nice enough to show, I'm satisfied with play and it's a huge morale booster even if the result was "turrible". I ended up winning on the session with a few mid-major hands only 1 showdown. Hoping to have some luck and get that monster session next time!!

Played a few hours tonight and got absolutely rocked. I ended cashing out up but I left probably close to $500 on the felt. Feeling uncertain if I'll get that monster session before the 90 hours are up. Gotta stay positive though :/

Didn't have a monster session last night/this morning but still won at the 1-2, broke the 3K barrier, not much else doing. Wrapping up this "quickie" soon, almost there 6+ hours to go!

CHALLENGE ENDS +$2,642 94.18hours $28.05/hr mix of 1-2 (primary game) and 2-5 (secondary game)

Well I went out with a bang. Bad bang. I'm not sure exactly how much I had at my 90th hour so I'll just lump it all together as my last session for the challenge. What you're about to read is pretty bad but don't shed a tear for me. I'm mad and ready to crack proverbial skulls...or just go on crack.

At the 1-2 in consecutive hands I had TT, hit a set and a boat. My opponents hit a straight flush to the K and a royal flush in each respective hand. Never happened to me before, and I don't think that'll ever happen to me again.

I saunter over to the 2-5 in disbelief. I go between a couple of games, back to 1-2, then back to 2-5. I chip up a little in the games, and at the 2-5 I have 33 vs 73 vs 87 AI on a flop of 773. I scramble to find a rack to put my newfound chips in happy to squeeze a profit on the day...only to realize by the river I was drawing dead. I go to another game, dump my short stack to a whale and leave.

And that's all folks!

I kindly thank each and every one of you for supporting me. From those I've met in real life to those overseas whom I may never meet, I appreciate your sentiments graciously and sincerely.

Poker IS NOT DEAD! If a baby beluga like me can win, you can too! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and CELEBRATE OTHERS' SUCCESSES!

Man I'm sorry to hear about your last session. That sucks man but on the bright side you did great for the challenge and that's what matters

I for one am looking forward to see your goals and watch as you go on the next challenge!

Also, Crack is wack and don't forget to spay or neuter your animals!

As soon as the challenge ended I ran through 1-2 2-5 and 5-10 and lost thousands. Started with bad luck then finally I cracked and tilted away another G or 2. Martingale-ing up to 5-10 did not pan out. Had I extended the challenge to the 100th or 110th hour, it would be a negative number and hourly. That in and of itself is a thread, but I won't go into it here.

Appreciate the support and I may do another thread, I'll see. But until then, make sure when you see me panhandling on the offramp, toss me a buck or 2. Thanks.
