Lol Verno, You realize after getting 3 stars on every level you still have a ways to go to beat the game. But at least the addictive nature goes away and you feel somewhat accomplished.

Okay Feb Poker Goals:

[ ] 30k hands (60% of hands 3/6)
[ ] One Sweat session per week (PM if interested)
[ ] Profit

Life:

[ ] Get Two games through Nintendo Lot Check
[ ] Order books recommended in last months LC/NC thread about investing

So far "my danish luckbox" is really good.

Watched 2 episodes of Piggyback and it is kinda lol how it is from 2008 and he has 2 5/T tables with 60/10 droolers and he is like yeah that's a decent table.
Also calling 23/15 players "standard TAGs" and 26/20 lagtags/lags.

He wins like 3.72/100 over small sample @ 8/16 "tough table" and goes like: "yeah this was a pretty tough table so this probably all we can really expect".

True the climate is different now for sure. There was a 25/18 in luckbox that was "solid high stakes player" which I loled at. However I do feel that his advice and insights are all still very good. I've definitely seen some spots where I've been shooting myself in the foot by not finding the value of inducing bluffs.

missed a few poker goals but considering it was the volume one eh. I missed Platinum Star by 7 ****ing VPPs. Clock struck 9pm for me but midnight for you east coast ninnies so I miss out on maybe 4k FPPs next month >_<.

Just a hair less than my most winningest month evar but by far best hourly evar w/o Rakeback. February was a success!

3/6 shottaking also took off so hopefully I'll be mixing it up in 3/6 and 2/4 nowadays. booya!

Yeah, pretty much a win I guess. A little bit more volume, but not that bad.
