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.

2. Largest score

1/6/10	mookie	$11.00	$46.00	$35.00

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.

4. Funniest post (non-monetary)

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....

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...
