June Contest...

My Session 1 Update:

This $25 NL game is harder to beat than I thought it would be. The players here make a lot of "strange" plays, to say the least.

In any case, I dropped all the way down to just under $10 before tripling up with AA. I thought that hand was going to be it for me, but I have new life. I'm sitting at $27.40 now - above $25 for the first time in 77 hands.

Damn, sorry TP, with all my talk of low limit grinding I beat you to it. I lose first. I should not have brought the other $10 to .25/.50. Should have stepped it down, but I was at a good table, just missing one thing.....THE CARDS.

Oh well, good luck to everyone who didn't stay up late to lose $25 in less than 1 1/2 hours

BTW
I lost in 86 hands if there is a prize for the LEAST hands played.

Ending Session 1
Current Bankroll: $36.05
Total Hands Played: 141

My low for the session was about $9. That's when I tripled up with AA. My high was a little over $38, after doubling up with a nut flush and some guy reraising me on the river. I'm quitting now, a few hands after that.

Overall, I'm happy with where I finished up this first session.

GL everyone!

Hey BB, how hard is it to count the session hands on Paradise? I'm thinking that would be a good place for me to do it if I do, since I'm under $100 there anyway in total.

[BlibbityBlabbity]

In the upper left of the table view, there is a % sign. that turns on the session stats that will count hands.

Good Luck
