LOL, maybe try something you can actually pull off? In any case, good luck with your future endeavors.

Not actually a impossible thing to be done, but i want to play as much as i can on NL5 before stepping up. It's not impossible playing 4 entries on rush poker.

You think i can't pull of because of the timespan?

edit
Ok, i've just checked that i type-o on the key pad, it was supposed to be 200k hands. Sorry.

200k then? OK, do you accept prop bets? Cause I got $100 that says you won't make it.

Decided to post already a hand for analysis. I know the check on the turn was a bad play now, totally fishy @ least i notice that now.

As my winnings today are really slim (just 1,4/100 BB), decided to post another hand to be evaluated.

Don't feel bad to critique, that's why i'm posting them, of course reviewing them i can see lot's of mistakes and scared money maybe.

Read all the articles on flop, and review the psycholgy article on tilt. Still 182k hands to go.
