Default My finish the month in the black challenge

28.5 hours to go.
50bb in the red.
Its almost dark.
I cant find my sunglasses.

I think I can get as many as 5k hands. This would be my first month in the red so I'm putting up a fight. Anyone else in?

How about a "finish the month unstuck from your 100 BB downswing over the last 2 days" challenge? I'm down for this.

Unfortunately, I have 4 1/2 hours until I have to stop playing to get sleep before my surgery tomorrow morning. So, I'm renaming this the "run extremely well challenge".

Count me in.

That I did.

I'm still over 4 bb/100.... doesn't mean it doesn't suck though. What I'm more concerned about is that it may be making me change my game. I really hope that isn't happening, but I'd find it very hard to believe I haven't missed some bets.

Edit: I just double checked, and I'm actually down 150 BB's in the last 2 days. Also, my winrate is now in the 3.5ish range.

about 950 hands in and down to -85bb on the month.

This is the lowest I have ever felt in my poker career. Cutting back to 2 tables for a bit and taking a few more seconds to think about each hand. Trout seem to be everywhere tonite, having a hard time getting on good tables.

25 hours to go and still fighting...
