I don't think 30 litres of beer should be "optional"? ;)

Glad to see you're still alive aswell!

Nicely structured plans for the challenge, looking forward to the updates!

OK, here's my first days graph, dunno how often should I post them. I can do it every day or couple of times a week, what do You think ?

This day was pretty interesting, I lost many pots where I was ahead, but won where I was huge underdog :P

I decided to show 1 hand where I lost to a huuuugggggeeeee fish. Probably one of the biggest setups in my life.

You could post a graph every day and then a weekly one.

Cigarettes cost nothing here in Latvia, no reason to smoke so little!

How about, graph when you reach the 12k goal for days, skip the ones you don't, but as Tilt says, weekly summary?

I work on a Latvian salary, they're still cheap enough. (well, the company is outsourcing here and underpaying the crap out of us, but ALMOST Latvian salary.. I get paid more than most of my colleagues for special qualifications, they normally get about 450lvl)

Yeah, we have one of the most cheapest cigarettes in Europe, but they cost 5 times less 10 years ago :P

Today started a little bit later than planned, around 9am. I takes ~9 hours to play all hands, that's more than expected Now I'm considering to add few more tables. Also I have chosen worst time to play ever. I have to play 5 regs at many tables for first couple of hours. Anyways, this day wasn't that great like yesterday, but still managed to win something in the end. Here's the graph :

Now going to chillax and drink some beer :P

This day was super sick. It started when I tried to cook my breakfast :) I took a couple of eggs for my omelet bet they were frozen, WTF. It's the first time something freezes in my fridge, dunno why especially in summer, but anyways frozen eggs are OK for omelet :P

I played 12k hands, as usual, but I was running horrrrriible and below EV. This is my new personal record for lost $$$ in a day. This month is kinda funny, I'm ~4k below ev now. I hope for some better sessions next days, otherwise this challenge could end this week :P

P.S. I hope I won't beat some other losing records during this challenge.

Here are some hands how I was running all day long.
