Okay, so I never really figured out how to import my blog when i was doing some sort of money challenge or whatever, so i'll just give you guys a general update of my poker life here.
April was break even. I had an 8k downswing in the middle of the month and spent the rest of the month recovering, finished down about $100 total. I think i'd like to become an MTT donk. I definitely like playing them 10x more than cash games and you can have those big scores which are obviously hella nice. The downside is, you have to deal with shit like this in last night's 100 rebuy at the final table:

Bleh, annoying as shit. this hand would put me in 1st place with a good chance at a top3 finish. First place was like 24k. Instead I end up with a 2k prize and a sad face. Well whatever, I really like this tournament though and I think i'll play it on a regular basis. It's a tough field but I think it's beatable for a solid ROI. Anyways, this is my blog, I'll try to update more often than once a month...
