miserable session just gone. KK vs AA a few too many times and then couldn't hit when I shoved what turned out to be a 17-outer on the flop!!! dunno how villain called it, dunno how i didn't hit, do know that it was a 265bb pot!
But, it's not all bad  I've been grinding out hands like a sailor or summat. That means i'm sitting in the top 15 of some rake race (10-15 pay $750), and even a mediocre 1.2ptBB/100 adds up after 91k hands. Plus some rakeback. Around $3k in poker earnings for the month so far, excluding whatever comes from that race.
The 25k is still a possibility, but i'll have to play/run better. Think I need about $130 a day - should be easy? but....

thanks for the advice, i'll keep this in mind
i think poker can teach me a lot. I'm coming close to understanding where i want it to take me. Hopefully i'll be able to present it coherently when i start my next op.
Some sort of pretentious combo of reading too much existentialist blah, sci fi, dealing with gunshot wounds, winding up a long session as project lead/manager/BA for a project that has been more roller-coaster than my poker journey, beer, caffeine, and not enough time in the water....
I seem to be hovering close to some sort of poker realisation/epiphany/call it what you wil. Sometimes it all feels so clear, if that clarity could be the level of my standard game (rather than my rare A++ game) I would be ready. Anyway, for now i'm just going to withdraw another few grand and then move up to 200nl.
