Finally after a long Christmas lull (which featured plenty of family gambling) I decided to play and finish grinding my 20BI for NL5. 2 months and 28k hands to grind from $7 of freeroll winnings to $100. I'm going to be rich. I'm hoping to be done NL5 within the month and be on to NL10. If I start putting in a decent amount of hands it shouldn't be a problem. Race ya MadJukes?
The hand that got me there was the essence of NL2: Taking people to Valuetown (although in this hand the idea I might be taking myself to Valuetown started creeping in around the turn.) + Show Spoiler +
