Did you win money at 25/50, sjay?

[sjay2k]

I ended up losing about 5k. I was back to even until I had 79dd on a 6d6xTd flop. I bet the flop and check-called a blank turn. River is an offsuit 8 and I check-call my straight. He had TT (sick), v happy with the way I played it.

honestly i think i have a big edge against elky. but yeah i'm going to take a little break. i have too much money online to play 2/4 and 3/6nl (i want to play low-variance stakes for a while), so i'm going to spend the next week cashing out before playing again.

pretty disappointed in myself to be playing these stakes, but i watched this guy for five minutes and couldn't resist.

also i was playing online scrabble against my mum at the same time, it was quite distracting.

So this apparently must be "take on ElkY" week here at Talking Poker. Step right up! Who's next? Boobie? TP? KURN? Anyone?

[ChipFish]

I'll take that bet.

10k.jpg

As you can see, I've been playing a lot this month. 70k hands might be doable, but the probability that I take my own life in the process will likely escalate if I take on this pace.


I also got 122nd in the Stars million for $1,370.16. So, all together, overall profit this month stands at $5,712.86.
