End of Day

So after repeatedly losing fish to people regging faster than I, I finally found a fish at like 230am.

I felt I played about as good as I could, ran into some beats and lost. I'd be just a hair below 1k if I had won this one.

Here's some hands, fwiw I feel very good about this challenge and my prospects if I keep playing the way I am.

That one took a bit to go through and call because of his overbet.

After this he went on a pretty nice run while I was very card dead. Probably a bit of spew and a bit of running well, but I survived to make one last stand.

Ah well, I'll get 'em tomorrow.

Bankroll $3,472.63

Note that is is much tougher in this challenge to play up and lose your first game, compared to going 1-1 and playing down for one more game.
