60K hands.
Get out of my 300BB+ downswing ASAP.
Get Josh. to answer my PMs and coach me already, dammit.
Achieve Supernova, and use FPPs to play in the 6/29 WSOP Limit event.

My June is certainly off to a hot start...



All hands 6-max at ABSOLUTE, believe it or not. Apparently it IS possible to have heaters there...

So do you move up at 20 bets or 40 bets?

[Guruman]

well typically 40, but the 2/4 to 3/6 switch is a little off-kilter so I'll move up into it early and stick with it late.

[Snafu'd]

I see. Good luck at 3/6; I hope to see you posting about 5/10 soon. I'm giving this thing a go as well and I'm in 2/4 town right now but I'll have a lot of time this weekend to devote to it.

[Str8Fish]

Guru, I gotta say I love this challenge and will probably be doing this myself very soon. Good luck on your attempts!

Just for fun I started a NL challenge, starting at the 0.01/0.02 game with $2 (hey, did you guys know they let you buy into that game iwth $5!!!)

Funny thing: Someone joinedthe table on my immediate left with enough chips to cover. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If I don't go butso I hope to get to the $0.02/$0.05 table with $5. Looks promising though, the only guy that covers me is that guy on my direct left.
