You can't reach those kinds of numbers without both luck and skill. I was happy to have both last night :-)

yatt

Last night, I posted yatt - yet another top ten. It was a personal worst kind of top ten, but still :-) I had the tenth worst 9 bagger, loss-wise, of my career. Here are the top ten:

The numbers in parentheses are the winning sessions in those stretches. Time to right the ship.

yatt

Last night, I posted yatt - yet another top ten. It was a personal borscht kind of top ten, but still :-) I tied for the tenth most hands played in an MTT-R NLHE where I failed to make the money. Here are the top ten, including ties:

My blue distance is currently $3,574,000, which is not too far from its all time high of $3,971,000, set six sessions ago. I'm doing my best to keep it under 4 million. My 2018 balance, at just barely over a bullet's worth, is on life support. I ain't afeared, though :-)

My gut feeling is that KOs are a losing proposition over the long term, but I'm having too much fun to quit playing them just yet :-)
