This one will be interesting because I can't finish. I'm giving a lecture on adnexal masses at 7:30 tomorrow morning and I need my beauty sleep. Let's see if I finish ITM. Top 64 get paid.

Having some trouble adjusting to rush, but I *think* I have some stuff figured out. You can see from the graph that I've had an extremely swingy time at the rush tables. A lot of it was coolers, but a ton of it was me being a pay off wizard. I stopped pushing so hard and had an $800 upswing on sunday. I'm way down in EV, so I'm looking to suck out on folks a lot in the coming week (kidding of course) Last week I claimed I wasn't going to try 100NL, but I broke that promise and have 7k hands at 13bb/100. Not too shabby, but I actually think I can do better, at least until the general population learns how to beat rush.
Since 100NL was the highest you could play (200NL has rolled out recently) I ended up at tables with tons of red pros. It's hilarious to watch people fall over themselves to raise, re-raise and shove on the poor fuckers. It has got to be impossibly hard to play a decent game with that red target on your back. I took a decent pot off of one of em (I can't remember who, and can't find the hand in my DB) with a set of 9's, but otherwise stayed out of the way, as most of them played pretty snug.
Playing this many hands reminds me... where do we stand with rakeback on the challenge? I always assumed it was included in the grand total, but I want to make sure, since it's actually going to be a contributor if I keep playing this many hands. I guess I shouldn't worry, as I have no hope of winning the grand total bet with a starting roll this big....

I got a boo boo
Sorry, best I can do atm.
5. Betting the horses (picking the victor of bets 1-3, non-monetary)
Will CK post the bets on this one?

This one is still pissing me off....

Well, MHG is in love, so I'm assuming he's too busy playing kissy-face to bother getting the hands in...
8. Best overall winrate over 10k hands
For 14k hands I'm running a paltry 12bb/100. At the end of this I'll pick my best 10k run. Thanks to rush, I'll have a pretty good sample, I think....

Still doing well, but from the looks of my graph I'm getting "lucky" in spots. My biggest luck moment (around hand 1000) was getting in pf 3 way with AK against a shorty and a guy that had been stealing a ton. Shorty had 9Kss and stealer had JJ. I hit 2 aces on the flop and held. I got it in twice with nut flush draw + TP vs maniacs with 2 pair and hit my flushes. Against both of those guys TP was enough to get it in, so I'm not worried about the situations where they actually hit weird 2 pairs. Those were my big "luck" moments, so I'm not worried about the luck line this week. For the most part I feel fine with my play this week, though I did tilt off a buyin to a spazz when I just couldn't believe that he hit again. He did. For the most part I'm tightening up and working on my (many) flaws. As of right now I don't feel ready for 100NL so I'm gonna keep myself in 50NL until I've addressed some of these issues.

Only played the Mookie this week, tilted my stack to that douche joelpokergod in a button vs sb confrontation. There are some folks that just rub me the wrong way, and that fucker is one of em. Chat option is now off on his stupid ass.

Again, didn't play any MTTs this week.

Nope.
5. Betting the horses (picking the victor of bets 1-3, non-monetary)
Sent to CK. Interested to see who picked whom....

Nah, nothin out of the ordinary....

Didn't play very much this week/weekend, but tried to make the best of it when I did.
8. Best overall winrate over 10k hands
So far, a very respectable 18.51bb/100 over 5,762 hands, though my EV adjusted is 10.8bb/100. Nothing to complain about either of those numbers...
