I mention this because I want to b transparent. This was the first sesh outside of 1/2 all year, and THIS WILL NOT BE GOING TOWARDS THE $40k CHALLENGE.

Oh btw, I guess I am once again a full time poker player w no side income.
So far so gd!

+$15,125 rt

I introduced myself at 2-5 game after you racked up. Just wanted to say again that I enjoy your vlogs and this thread. Keep up the great work on the challenge and good luck in the vloggers game. Lastly you should consider driving up for the Indy Knights of Columbus game again sometime, the action is usually great (after WSOP).

Short answer would be yes, but I would need to know what you consider awful and what stakes you were playing. I don't want to derail this thread. You can pm me if you want more details.

Played 2 sessions today and booked 2 small wins.

Sidenote:
I noticed HSI is now dropping a $1 for promo fund at $10 instead of $20.
Sucks to see $1 go to the rake and another $1 go to promo fund on a $10 pot. Ouch! This place annoys me. Gonna try my best to play here less next year.

Still $16k hunting.

Slowly filling up the peanut jar...another small win. Still on the hunt for the 16 pointer. Mayb she'll peak out tonight, and I don't misfire.

News: Proud to say I may have a couple sponsors lined up for this #PVG.

I wasn't looking to accept sponsorships from just any companies. The 2 that stepped up, are 2 companies that I respect their vision, and 2 that provide me a platform. I feel it's a great win/win/win for everyone involved.

Btw, I will be playing on my own dime. Per usual, all of me all the time.

I want all the joy and all the pain. Selfish that way. Rayz

Currently playing 1/2/25nl w $1500 avg stacks.
The roofer is hitting and sitting w $2500.

He's been throwing an occasional $50 straddle and I just shoved a AcQc for $550. He called and we currently broke through the wall.
Still in the game, so who knows how it will end.
Up around $1000 right now.

Unless you are tired, why would you leave the game when it is that good? Seems like very bad game management to me.

Obviously when the roofer leaves, you can leave...
