New Best Day of Poker Ever!

And I did it in about 30 minutes. I'm not kidding. I had a major case of the run-hots.

I took this picture after 30-some minutes of this session


Here is the month so far. I think it's safe to say I'm doing well. Too bad I haven't played much this month. I still haven't cleared my $200 "Biggest Bonus Ever" thing that Full Tilt handed out recently.


Here are the big hands from those first 30 minutes. Hand 1-4 are standard/coolers for my opponent, but 5-8 are seriously "WTF?" hands. LOL.
