Damn - how freaking long does it take to play 200 raked hand on one table???

I was up over $110, but this hand took a lot from me. I may post this in the HSIHPT section too:

So, one tabling really sucks. I just took a break and got a bite to eat. I'm gonna finish off these final 60ish hands now three tabling. This should go MUCH faster.

And... done.

Three tabling is the way to go.

After 200 raked hands, I turned my $20 into $132 (all $25 NL). Thanks Empire!!!

Oddly enough, my TOTAL rake was $21.20, so Empire came out ahead a cool $1.20 too!
