Very Brief 200/400 NL Shot

A few months ago my friend showed me this ridiculous PTR graph of this player who had lost $1M on iPoker. I saw him online for the first time today at 200/400 NL and I was bored as hell (games pretty much never run at 10/20 when I’m awake) so I decided to take a 20bb shot and see if I could run it up. On the 6th hand I got it in really good and managed to double up.

I quit straight after that. I managed to finish the day even though so I’m not too unhappy…

In other news I’ve finished three of the four videos for my upcoming series. I tried to record the last one today but not enough deep games were running so I couldn’t get any footage unfortunately. I’ll try again tomorrow probably.
