Last night, on IRC me and m2m decided to do a few donkaments. I'm pretty terribad at these so I wasn't expecting much. Well, first couple didn't really go well, ITM'd in one but nothing deep, but we fired up the $3k gtd (I think? lol) for $2.20 and 7 hours later I busted to net $239 and some change.
That puts me over the $1k mark by quite a margin. 
Obv click the pics for a bigger view.

Here's my lifetime graph. I was going to talk about it, but if you're really curious just check my blog/op. Clicking the banner in my sig will take you to my first one, which if you read through to the last page, has a link to my new one. (Advertising ITT? lulz)
Also just realized after I loaded up all my hands (I took ~80k off my computer and put them on a flash drive as it was slowing it down) that I hit the 100k hand mark a lil bit ago. So a LOT of accomplishments ITT. 

+$260 onto this graph for winnings (it doesn't take into account tournament/sng winnings ).

Bravo buddy. You are truly an American hero!

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

OP: Beginner to Master
If I bet as a bluff, I should be thinking "am I getting better hands to fold? Is it likely that he will fold x% of the time to a y sized bet to make it +EV?". If I bet for value, I should be thinking "am I getting worst hands to call? Am I ahead of enough of his range that this is a good value bet?".

At each higher level, new pleasures and insights await us--ones not even suspected when we started out. We can take this as far as we want--in any human activity there is always a higher level to which we can aspire."
