Day 1

Well, I just finished my first 2NL session since staring this challenge and I'm up $15.44 so my bankroll is now at $65.44.  Nothing too exciting, although this hand was pretty interesting. It made me lol:

Normally I would've snap folded this, but this guy had a habit of just shoving all in any time he was checked to, so I figured there was a good chance I was ahead.  I did this to him just a couple hands later too lol.

I also played in a 2500FTP (points you earn for playing at the site) were the top 50 got a ticket into a $216 FTOPs tournament.  Unfortunately I finished in 85th out of 814 when my AK lost to AA on an A high flop.  It would've been a nice boost to my bankroll, but oh well, I didn't lose anything for playing it at least. I think I'll be trying to use these free satellites to try and make a little extra, but we'll see how it goes.
