Tuning Up for Victory
Farewell, downswing! Had to lower my ABI a bit, got crushed for about 150 big blinds, but my confidence seems to be coming back - Adil "aadil", in his Check-Raise Blog
Played a $2.5 spin for the first time today and won a Sunday Million ticket. Feels good - Daniyar "Blackout", in his Blackout. On the Path to the Goal
Daniyar spun his way to victory, turning a $2.5 spin-and-go ticket into $640. Although he didn't make it to the Sunday Million, he was still exceptionally pleased with his achievement and the boost it gave to his bankroll. After playing from a $100 spin, he decided to run it up a bit, but found out that an ante-up wasn't allowed, even after messaging support. Despite the tough competition, filled with few fish and lots of regs, Daniyar was satisfied with his play and gained a lot of valuable experience.
