Back On The Horse & The 10k Challenge

Well my break lasted about 2 weeks. It was very much needed and allowed me to clear my head. I started playing again on Wednesday the 12th and run my bankroll up to 115 from 85 in less than a day. Im currently sitting at 108.

The money bubble has been killing me I keep running into monsters.

Here's a couple hands to sample why I havent won a sitngo since I have been back:

November Goals and The Recap Of October

October Goals:
20,000 hands at 10nl.
Didn't even come close to this. I put in 11332 hands at -5.37 bb/100

5o MTT with at 3-5 FT and a win
I only played 28 but FT 2 never came away with a win though. 4th was my best effort.

November's Goals are simple:

Taking a break for awhile & When I return make a profit.
