This hand helped pull me out of a 3 buyin hole. It's my biggest hand won to date and I hope to keep winning bigger ones as I move up!

I finally made Goldstar today so I am gonna play on UB til the end of the month to try to cover some of that bonus. Next month I'm gonna shoot for platinum star on PS so that I can buy the $650 bonus. It should take about 25k hands at 100NL to make it.

I've had a really good month so far and am looking forward to posting a mostly sexy graph.
