Holy crap, it's the slam meep thread! :P
I have to look a Did's session, as I was multi-tabling and that was one of a grand total of 4 online sessions i've played this month.

[Edit - I went over that session with jason_t when I mentioned the perfect hand in another brag thread -- I only had about 2 hands that were even marginal isolators in those 35ish hands.]

Location: Currently Poznan, Poland
Current Limit: Multitabling 3/6 and 5/10
AIM SN:
Pro (full time), Semi Pro (part time), Enthusiast (just for fun): Pro fulltime since May this year.
Biggest leak: Astronomical leak discovered while clearing the bonus playing 5/10 at Tiger Gaming. I thought that since it clears with contributing rake the real rake at heads up/ 3-handed is very low. Thus I have opened 4 tables which has attracted a few heads up sharks to play me. Realized that I win when there are 4 players or more at the table and lose when it is 3 or 2. I will spend a lot of time in HUSH to try to plug it because it probably means I don't get the most out of full ring either.
How many Tables?: 3-4
