I mean, not really when you consider it only took about twi hours; but it was a very grindy few. There were some extremely key flips that on a bad day, don't hold that saved my life. Essentially I was splitting games, and most of my wins came from grinding people down and flipping them at 2250-750. So potentially they could've won those situations and I'd have to start all over again, but lucky for me a good portion of them held. Anyways, I won $115 today and it's been a very successful last couple of weeks.
I've got a meet coming up saturday, I'll be running 55m hurdles around 12:45 and then the 4x400 at the very end of the meet. I've been running well in practice so I think there's some high expectations for my leg in the 400, which is a competetive spot that a few others are trying to grab. I'm the weakeast leg, so at any point I could be ousted. I'm not really that concerned, but it's enjoyable to be a part of what seems to be the most emphasized event. It seems like we're considered the "elite" of the team. Anyways, I'm excited for hurdles...even though UNH doesn't generally field any good hurdlers. My goal is anywhere inbetween 7.60-7.69. If I can post that, I'll have a good base to work down from (my goal for the season is anywhere from 7.45-7.60). I thought last year was my best opportunity to win conferences in either indoor or outdoor. I ended up 5th in indoor and 6th in outdoor, but the seperation between 1-6 generally isn't much. Hopefully I can improve on those results this season though.
Anyways, here's some hands of the day:

Summary: I went on to win this game somehow. I ended up setting up a middle pair bet down to check the river (I usually bet relatively soft on the flop, then a little bit bigger on the turn to setup a check check so that weakness isn't presented) and I nailed two pair on the river and just continued with a value bet...he wasn't too happy about that lol. Whatever.
