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:
