I´ll be in Argentina for two weeks skiing, hiking across the Andes, drinking excessively, eating $5 fillet minion, etc. But when I come back in mid-August, I´m rebuilding my bankroll after a lollercoaster of a downswing by 12-tabling .5/1. Then after I reach $4k, I´ll move up to 1/2. I´m not taking a shot at 2/4 until I have a 10k bankroll. My bankroll was kinda crippled last month after I decided to take a shot at 2/4 and lost 3 buyins within 300 hands. It was awesome...not.

I just want to congratulate MYNAMEIZGREG, jsnipes28, and above all, johnnycakes, for having phenomenal months at MSNL (and taking some baby steps into HSNL). Awesome job guys.

And I played midfield for BU, and would smoke both of you all silly-like.

Spam your coaching services elsewhere. Thanks.

um...why be a douche?

Really, you should apologize for this tripe before someone gets mad.

[T-God]

I'm on a simultaneous 6 buy-in upswing at 5/10 and 14 buy-in downswing at 3/6. Pokergods are clearly telling me to move up.

i have been kind of lax in playing the past couple of months. i want to get 50k hands in August. my previous most is 33k. i would like to run at 5ptbb while doing this, hopefully my play won't be hurt too much by playing more than normal. also, i'm considering an adhoc, just b/c people have been mentioning it and i haven't pulled in all nighter since i graduated over a year ago.

if anyone else is trying to play a lot of hands maybe we could do a prop bet or something. i'm looking for some motivation.

I'll do a prop bet. I'd be aiming for a little more hands, but we could set something up.

For some reason I don't like knowing who's 2p2 at the cash tables, it always fu.cks up my judgement.

[MYNAMEIZGREG]

Parlay no reason to get all angered we did have good months, relax. And yea I owe a lot of it to jkrantz; deal with it.

Who is Obsessus ?

WTF !!!!!

Edited...

I was wondering the same thing. He had $5,500 and $2,800 at another one of my tables, and I also saw him at another table with $1,200+.
