i know nobody gives a **** especially with the current poker climate (i commiserate with you US folk btw, hope things work out), but ive been on a 18-20 buyin downswing past 2 weeks and i know -20 bi is just standard w/e but it really affected me because it happened all at 100nl and probably represented almost half my bankroll.
well, had a good session recently and won my biggest pot so far against a whale:

not an exceptionally interesting or bragworthy hand, but just a minibrag for me given past circumstances and because saying i won a $500 pot just feels good to me as i started all the way down at 5nl just a few months ago
