Move up to chase a fish = first $10K+ month

[DMoogle]

I normally play 2/4 and 1/2 (mostly 2/4), and occasionally higher if the games are good. Tonight, I found one of my favorite fish playing HU at 10/20. In fact, this is the exact same fish that I took at a shot at before and stacked two months ago in THIS POST.

Unfortunately, I didn't break my record for largest pot, but I did take $4K off of him just grinding him down (he started with $4K). [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I started 2/4 in May. Played a little over 20K hands, made about $8500 (great start, pitiful end). June I wasn't motivated at all and I didn't do very well. Made about $3500 over 15K hands.
