Something like $700.

I explained it to a thousand people lol so I'll just give you a quote and then the picture can speak for itself :)

I will definitely update my tattoo here!

First, here's my NL10 game. It's not going so well but I played a small 2K hand session at FR today and it went nicely. I'll be staying at FR until I decide to move out of it lol

Today I just gave away 2BIs... I knew exactly what he had and I called anyway for some reason. I'm beating myself up for this so I'm going to go to the gym, buy some redbull and continue with my poker day when I come back. Next week, I will definitely be going for 10bb/100 (which I know I can do when I'm not hung over or anything like that) and having a routine of waking up, playing poker, going to bed just so I can get pass NL10. I've been at this limit for too long now.

haha I started reading that forum a little bit ago, it's in my favorites. But I know what kind of food/drink I need when I'm hungover or just not 100% there. That's redbull ;D And unfortunately, I don't think I'll be reaching my 10K goal lol but we'll see what happens in the next month.

I'm officially going on lockdown tomorrow guys!

Routine for tomorrow: wake up, eat a small portion of eggs/oatmeal, go to the gym, eat/drink stuff at home... LOCKDOWN. I'll put my goal at 8,000 hands because I've done it before (not a lot, but I've done it). Hopefully I will reach 10,000 but that'll be borderline. LET'S DO THIS

I want to post this hand because I remember back in the day when I used to think that I need 50% of pot odds or something like that for a call. But I need 28% and actually had 37.87% equity Brought me back up to +$10 in 1000 hands.

I squeeze pre because I had an ace blocker to AK and AA. People also fold a lot in this spot and I wanted to isolate the 57/7 fish.

Hey guys I got staked by targetme for the $2.50 180 mans. Right off the bat, I start with a downswing lol. But at least there was a win at the end and a couple final tables. I'll post a graph after a couple of days.

Profits: -$173

Today SUCKED. If I win the last game I'm in, I'm even so it's not that bad but jeez lol. Today was an average type day for ITM (10%), but there were a lot of suck outs in between 10-18 place :) oh well. Now I'm 1/10 with 93K chips. Hope it goes well.

Here's an update with graph and all.

This might be a +$30 day D:

one tournament left to go and all in in SB... DOUBLE UP TO 10bb 20K :)
I really don't want to finish a day with pocket change profits :P shipping this one!
I think it'll only bring me up to 25% ROI but still OK day.
On FT now going for first while I have 10bb.

Po l'temps de niaiser
