I had a very up and down day.....

I ended up winning $1759 and I played a really long session online (about 6 hours). I increased the limits that I played and unfortunately I did the worst at the highest limit that I played. I played some 10/20 NL and lost a little over a buy-in there, but did very well in the 5/10 and 3/6 NL. The good thing about being uncomfortable when playing 10/20 is that it makes 5/10 and 3/6 not seem nearly as big and I am much more comfortable playing those. I am not quite sure that is the way it is supposed to work, but I guess whatever it takes to move up in limits will have to do.

I never was really down today, but I was up almost $4,000 at one point and I had a lot of other fluctuations along the way.

So after 2 days of really solid grinding this is what my 2 week/$20K challenge looks like:

Online: +$4,746
Live: +$1,224
Total: +$5,970
Amount needed to reach goal: $14,030

Just as it always seems to happen when I am in the mood to do some serious grinding I have a visitor in town tomorrow so I am not sure how much playing I will get to do tomorrow. One of my fraternity brothers, Ben Hendren and his wife Hope, are in town and we are going to go to Red Rock to hang out in the sportsbook and watch some NFL football.

**Edit**

Just as I was going to bed I had a message pop up on my computer that said I my seat was open in a game I had been waiting on. I had been on the waiting list for about 2 hours and one of the biggest fish online was still in the game. It was a 10/20 NL 6max deep table. I immediately got stuck $1400 while laying in bed and then I put an amazing cooler on the fish to end up winning $688. Real quick: I raised with KQ, he called with 66, the flop was QQ6 and I turned the 4th Q. Somehow he still paid me off about $1400 additional once the 3rd Q hit the turn....I don't know what he planned on beating, but it was still unlucky for him. In the 15 minutes I was in the game he went from having around $7K in front of him to being busted and off the site. Glad I got a little bit of it.
