March Beginnings

Didn't really do much for my birthday. I mean, once you pass 18 and 21 and then the insurance drop at 25, there really isn't many birthdays to get excited about except maybe 55 for social security or is that 62 now... then 65 when we can withdraw roth iras and mutual funds and stuff. Yesterday was a brutal grind for me... I took some shots at 10.20 and 25.50 and lost 13k in like 2hours. it was so bad. I played all day though and got it all back 11 hours later playing nothing higher than 5/10. It was my best comeback ever. I felt like such a superstar ending the day +188 bucks lol. Here are a few of the hands that crushed me early.
