Spoiler:

Okay, reached 1000 hands. 1/3 the way there. I took a break with 132 hands left and should have stopped there and gone to bed because I was tired and didn't play a couple of the last hands very well.

Here is the giraffe:

First day results giraffe below. Very small sample size.

Finally caught your 400 hands. First part is swingy due to being table starting/shorthanded/no samples on villains. Had a nice hand towards the end of the session today

Cant get the hand converter to work on site, so here is this:

Not done without knowing he would call off with as little as no pair + FD obv.

Didn't get to play too much this weekend. Only a couple of 100 hands. So nothing to report other than I have cooled off a little.

One bad hand where my AQo in SB ran into AA in the BB on an Axx flop against another big stack. Result wasn't pretty.

Having often said NLHE reminds me of watching paint dry, I am none the less making an effort to pace Doc in this challenge. I am failing to keep pace in either hands played or in BB/100 but here is my graph to date, such as it is.

What is this world coming to? Doc winning at unlimited hold'em and now Bona playing (and winning) as well?

I wish I could win at NLHE

PeePee, if you would stop consulting your ouija board about Jessica Ennis and ask it what is coming on the turn and river, you could turn that around.

For a fee, I can tell you. As long as it isn't on a Sunday.

Halfway point graph. Things have flattened out a little lately. Couldn't get anything going tonight much less hit a good draw.

Made it to 2000 hands tonight. Lady V has hit the commode lever and I'm swirling around the bowl.

No more giraffes until I'm finished. Lady V. is letting me know that she doesn't like them.

Doc

P.S. And I'm probably not playing this unlimited poker stuff very well.

You are still crushing Doc. You were running at a non human pace. Lady V just tired out from making you look good. fwiw I am still way behind your win rate but closing in on your hands played. But, I am not the super secret stalking horse and time gonna tell about that.

I took out AIEV as it is tilting me. I also have resolved to not table start or play HU vs maniacs any longer. Yea the big swings at the end

@ Doc, this is bull****. You have to post your 3K graph at least as it is the end of what you committed to.

how is your rakeback line lower than your winnings line? Does it not add the two??

Ah, okay. I was just looking at the blue line and assumed it was the same. Then there is no RB line on here?

Nope.

If you look at the top left of the picture it has rakeback+bonuses unchecked.

Isn't that what I said?? No more graphs until I'm finished (meaning when I finish playing 1000 more hands to make it 3000).
