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.

Whats an Adhoc? If its funny talk for some sort of play-a-lot marathon session, I could be down sometime soon.

[JKratzer]

adhoc = All Day HOldem Challenge or something like that.

i'd only do it if i could get my hands on some pills, it's still just a maybe.

[AJFenix]

I'll hopefully do one this month

How are you guys finding the 400NL games on Party since all of this MONSTER crap happened? Anyone reccomend another site to play MSNL on?

Kratzer, now I get it.. I gotta stop to steal blinds with about 6% of all hands and my goal of becoming 16/12 will materialize [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (Its amazing that all our stats are exactly the same with the exception of att to steal btw).

aejones,
That upswing about 3/4 of the way through must have been fun as [censored].

Add on getting AI preflop for 100-200BBs four or five times with AK vs TT etc and not winning a single one, as well as pushing several combo draws as a favorite and not hitting. It took 8k hands but I'm finally back in the green, +$300 on the day.
