Re: My first poker post 15k hand weekend challenge
 

Having 77 against AA on a 77A flop helps quite a bit

3000 Hands
 

These swings are brutal. I started 2000 down 100 or so by 220 I was up 500 eventually getting to up 800 at one point. As of 3000 I am up $515.

I finished Hitch Hiker's Guide which I thought was good. I need to listen to it again as well. Next up is the Davinci Code.

3 Mountain Dew's done

4000 hands
 

4000 hands and more huge swings. I'm not really sure how limit players keep from going crazy. This 1000 hands I was as high ss 800+ and as low as 300 settling at 514 at at the 4000 hand mark. I've gotten above 2bb/100 a few times but mostly I stay around 1bb/100


The Davinci Code is quite the soap opera.

4 Mountain Dews down.

Re: 4000 hands
 

You need to concentrate more on your game, less on audio movies, and even less on your win rate over 4000 hands. Especially considering you've never even played this limit before and are unsure if you are even a winning player. Observe the players, consider your decisions, and maintain your concentration.

Maybe you can outsource some of your hands to that non_conformist [censored].

GL man. Glad to see you're up.

Dude, what fun would that be?

Re: My first poker post 15k hand weekend challenge
 

I'm also doing a similar challenge, but I'd rather call it a "punishment marathon" because i was a slacker all month.

In order to hit my 50,000-hand quota, I need to play 25,000 hands in 5 days. Day 2 was completed 21 minutes ago with a grand total of 10,055 hands played so far... only 14,945 hands to go!

Catering question ...
 

Can someone please tell me - what is Mountain Dew?

Good luck with that challenge!

Are you freakin' kidding me? It's an artificially-flavored citrus soda loaded with caffeine and sugar that has built it's empire upon being both tasty and EXTREME!!!

I don't think it's good for your teeth.

5000 Hands
 

Alright Im at 5k hands and exhausted. It is amazing the swings that can happen over just 1000 hands. This time I went to up 1200+ to 700+ and then finished at $952 for the day. Not bad.

At 5k hands I am 1.90bb/100. I would be happy if I could maintain that over the 15k but at the same times from the looks of the tables I am certain some players are capable of doing much better.

I finished with OJ so Im still at 4 MD's.

Also just finished the Da Vinci code. ehh, it wasn't very good IMO.
