12/1 : Toughest day in a while

Today was pretty brutal. I was playing extremely well for my first 4-6 games, and continuously grinding people down into anywhere from 80-20's to flips for their live and losing over and over again. It was a little frustrating, but honestly...it's been a while since I had to work for my money. I ended up having to play 20 games to end up +120. I don't think I've played more then 8 in a day in the last 3 weeks. So I can't complain at all.

Here's some hands of the day
Heroic Hand of the Day:
