uhmm, uncooked eggs? eggnog? Is that something you guys drink in the USA?

Alex... Eggnog is some kind of vile, horrible creation people drink when they want to get really really hammered without anyone knowing their a lush and remaining festive...

Thanks Tib.

Well I couldn't keep to my self imposed exile from the tables until the New Year. I opened up some tables just to datamine and when I went back to look a couple of hours later this is the kind of stuff I was seeing.

So I hopped on two tables and immediately found myself down about 400.00 to these numbskulls. The 25o guy there lost nearly 800 during my tenure and I managed a nice -150 or so during that time sitting in the best spot right to his left. I did manage a comeback though and posted a modest profit for my time. This was the start of the return.

I love your river bet in hand 2. I see a lot of people miss out on tons of value by checking just because they could have POSSIBLY gotten outdrawn. Aggressively value betting the river is I find one of my biggest advantages over my $10/$20 opponents.

Peru eh? My sister just came back from Peru for the holidays, she's there with the peace corps, she is going back in a few weeks and will be there for another months I believe before she returns for good.
