Meh,

Pretty bad day. Played for five hours straight and ended up pretty much breakeven (down a few bucks). At least I'm not stuck any real money, I guess. Finally got 16k points and ordered an iPod for my mom.

Right now, I fear a really bad run. I've been reading so much about variance and how much of a bitch it can be. Apparantly, it can run much, much worse than you think it can possibly get.

I am pushing the right hands, though (see below). I think my low ROI can be attributed to HU - I'm just not winning them recently.
