time has flown and I learned an immense amount from this either way
the practically break even stretch that you see has me running at a total of 4 bb/100 (3.95)
I still think I can actually make it, I would just need the 65%+ hands to hold up at least half the time
so back at it I go


take care and gl all

        <summary>2 hours left in day eleven
still doable even tho I'm in a [b]mega[/b] breakeven stretch (just look in my hand history here for a very very small peek)
It makes this real interesting though because if half of my 65%+ to win hands had held up, I'd probably be close to done
I will be playing a little longer than 2 hours so gl me

        <summary>online I don't give two shits
and I very rarely take or get things personal 
but I feel somewhat obligated to at least shed some light on the happenings of my prop bet and this is a blog after all so wtf..
if something of my outside life was not said, then this prop bet would never be fully understood
so here is a tiny bit of insight/update/perspective
really not going to go any more into it than this update tho



I have just come to the realization
9:51 AM
that my play
9:51 AM
has utterly deteriorated
9:52 AM
due to all the constant
9:52 AM
yelling
9:52 AM
upon yelling
9:52 AM
everyone just left the house
9:52 AM
and I played really bad, and ended up yelling
9:52 AM
and yelling
9:52 AM
my lack of focus is heavy
9:52 AM
because of all the constant
9:52 AM
....
9:52 AM
yelling
9:53 AM
I will do what I feel I have to do
9:53 AM
which is, grab a beer
9:53 AM
and knock down three
9:53 AM
to ease my mind and hopefully retain balance and focus
9:53 AM
because I just want to yell, as I have tried with words, to explain to these ppl
9:53 AM
what the fuck they are doing is just...
9:53 AM
pointless
9:53 AM
and bad
9:54 AM
for the kid
9:54 AM
sigh...
9:54 AM
I really want this prop bet, and I knew it was going to get hard when everyone came back
9:54 AM
I knew...
9:55 AM
so I will do as I said, and grab a beer, to ease my frustration
9:55 AM
since I can't lower it with just my mind, and I want this prop bet so I can not take a break
9:55 AM
as I am now behind
9:55 AM
a good bit
9:56 AM
it's all abotu focus
9:57 AM
and it's funny that I am looking to beer for focus
9:58 AM
but this house is just to intense
9:58 AM
to frustrated
9:58 AM
and I dunno how to stop it nor slow it down
9:58 AM
as I am not the man of this house, only the son
9:59 AM
I can't wait for my own place
9:59 AM
ok, beer has been gotten
9:59 AM
I am currently 5 buyins down today
9:59 AM
to actually good hands, the bad ones I did won
9:59 AM
and I had more good hands than bad
10:00 AM
here is where I stopped, and had to yell, just like the rest of the house (which they all left)
10:00 AM

I made this prop bet mainly for the challenge. 
As I told gawdawaful before the bet started, the real challenge starts when everyone comes back
I played the most amount of hands I've ever played at once - at least I call it at once
I played about 5 thousand hands, and then I took a nap for about an hour and was woken up to the chaos here so decided to go back at it for another 12 thousand hands
[b]you can see what lack of focus or the wrong attitude/outlook can do to your game[/b]
granted there was shitloads of coolers, a list so long it really makes me shake my head
but things happen for a reason

short interview with myself

have I given up? 
hell no
do I think I can still do this prop bet?
yes
am I blaming anything other than myself if I don't make it?
no, not one bit

so that being said it's time to go back at it
tc and gl all
