Default 180-Man Half Marathon

I have decided that today I am going to test my endurance and focus by playing every single $20/180 and $10/180 for 12 hours (don't think I can pull of the Shaundeeb 24 hrs) starting around 2-3 pm ET. I encourage others to join me for a few hours here and there, or maybe the whole thing if you have nothing better to do.

My goals are:

1) not worry about the money
2) play solid and tight, except where stealing opportunities present themselves.
3) maintain a high level of focus (probably the hardest).

Any advice or words of wisdom before I embark would be nice.

My stars name is: <font color="blue">IglooKing </font>

See you at the tables!

I would think max = 16. Probably wouldn't get that high though, we'll see.

Not running very well, only one cash so far. But I am playing very well and only have made a few mistakes, so I feel good about turning it around in the 2nd half.

Place last hand buy-in

64 (AK &lt; JT) $11
91 (AQs &lt; AQs) $22
75 (A8 &lt; AT) $11
22 (q5 &lt; a7) $22
66 (jj &lt; aj) $11
76 (aq &lt; kk) $22
72 (kq&lt;ak) $22
8 (34 &lt; a6) $11
19 (kq &lt; TT) $22
35 (ak&lt;qq) $11
82 (aj&lt;aa) $11

27 (at&lt;ak) $11
