How long has it been? Two months or so?

It feels like I have been gone forever. Does anyone remember good old "mitch"?

Anyways, hello again to everyone. I took a break from the grind for a few months because I just got so busy I couldn't play. This past week I finally finished all of my classes, so I am finally done with my degree. Then my hard drive failed and I lost all of my hands. For some reason, it was like a fresh start, and it inspired me to start up again.

Its going to be rough getting back into the game, but hopefully I can resume my goal of getting to 25nl.

Special shoutout to dranger, Harley and Micro. Glad to see you guys are putting in a ton of hands and making me look silly when I come back.

Hello Mitch.

I remember you had a nice graph from 10 NL. Look forward to hear about some more success.

Congratulations for finishing your degree!

Hey dude! Yea I remember you. You're the guy who put out the thing so that us Mac users can use PokerStove I believe. Major props for that btw. You get some catch up to play. Shouldn't be a problem though. Good luck man!

lol things have changed with me these last couple months (or weeks I guess) since you've been away i.e.- doomswitch, vacation, rebuilding, realizing I know nothing etc. But yes I will be putting in a shit load of hands later this month - but you should use Dranger as a role model for grinding because he owns volume+profit

welcome back

This seriously concerns me if people are using me as a role model lol. I'm really not good at the volume thing. The only reason I put in so many hands last month is because if I didn't I was pretty going to have to shell out $40. Ez game.

lol meh, 60k hands is quite a bit for a micro grinder - that's pretty solid work ethic which deserves recognition
