I put in another 5k hands yesterday and today. This rake race really has me motivated to put in work, I was in first place earilier in the week but two guys logged a lot of hands in the past few days and passed me as of yesterday's update. There is 4 days left and I'm at work for two of them so I doubt I'll be able to play enough to win. I can see getting 3rd place ($300), which is fine but that $1200 would be real nice.

Here was a huge hand for me. I really thought he had a hand like 77-JJ here. Too bad I couldn't outdraw him.

This hand pissed me off, I really didn't feel he was that strong and couldn't handle the pressure. I can't believe he called down with what he had.
