Default The FINAL poker thrill/challenge before the break.

Ok, so I withdrew a little over a $100 out of FTP today, to start my break. I left $22 in as I planned on playing in the two Daily Double tournaments tonight as my final 'hoo-rah' before taking my couple-month break.

But then I thought to myself, 'hey, I'm probably just going to busto because I run infinitely bad in MTTs, so why not try to turn into something nice?'

So we're going to try another $20 into something challenge . But instead of spending break-even hours in limit, we're going to do it with NL, obv.

But I'm setting up a rule: I refuse to go all-in unless I have top set on a rainbow board, the nut straight, the nut flush, or a full house. I WILL NOT BUST with TPTK, 2 pair, or bottom set w/ a 3 flush showing. I'll find better spots.

So here's how it's going to run:

$20 - NL25

$40 - NL50

$80 - NL100

$160 - NL200

$320 - NL400

$550 - NL600

$1000 - NL1000

I don't expect to get to NL200, to be honest, as FTP has had a MONSTER doomswitch on me for 4 days. And like the limit challenge, PO will be following and logging everything.

Updates at every level. ONE FINAL HOO-RAH UNLESS I KILL IT! HAHA.

A little update, it seems as though I will not be running Poker Office during this. With the new software and its resizable tables and crap, it's a mess!

Onto level 2. Here's hoping I catch better cards. In 125 hands at NL25 I saw one pair: 66. The only reason I finally hit $40 was because of this one donkey ATM.

NL50!! HERE WE GO!!
