I've already said I would match MX Riders donation, and now I've decided to take up my own challenge, while donating even more (hopefully).
I am new to 180 man SNG's so I don't feel comfortable taking backers like he did, as I have no idea what to expect in them as a long time, Single Table SNG player.
Anyways, got a similar Spreadsheet up

| 3/25 at the 2nd break of this current one. Looking to be promising. Had a huge hand earlier: AA vs KK vs A9s and it holds up and i triple up to 17,000 chips and the chip leader. Holding steady between the 17k-20k range right now. |

Hey Casper,
I didn't see this post all the way down here in this thread. Congrats on your win and thanks for donating. It looks like several ITHers have taken the task to donating a bit of money from quests/staking arrangements to charity.
That's awesome. I hope Matthew or someone keeps track of how much money ITH donates to this charity in total... I'd bet its creeping up there. |

| If the donation column has something about another value being >220, you need to change that to >80. I hardcoded that amount when i shouldn't have, but it prevents an error showing in the donation column. |

Thanks. I decided to mix it up a bit today and played a $5.50 90 man and managed to get 5th place. I was pretty card dead the entire final table and decided to push KQ from mp and SB woke up with AK and I couldnt improve on a TTT board. I struggled to recover from a big beat early on with QsTs vs a limped KcKh and I flopped the nut straight. We went all in and he rivered a boat ;(
Had a really rough go on the 180's today, went out 180th in one and 175ish on another with big pocket pairs. Still made 2 final tables in 11 games though... not bad I guess for being new to MTT's |

Played a $1R tonight with some ITH IRC'ers. I got in for $3 and was in top 15 at break with my stack. Cooled down and was struggled for the last 2 hours. With 25 to go, this happens: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1397538.
25th out of 450...not bad for a new MTT'er.
I'm not mad about it for once which is a rare thing for me. I guess I finally realized im playing the best I can, and sh*t happens.
Oh, I also won $5 in the last longer too |

Tonight I got back in the grind and it wasn't a very good night. In the 1st game I decided to take a very loose player all in who raised UTG+1 and I pushed on button with JJ, not expecting the BB to have KK, so that was an early exit.
Next came the $5 90 man. I was running well playing solid all night, then I picked up AA and this happened http://www.pokerhand.org/?1404503 This was the 2nd time in my last 3 tournaments I lost with AA vs KT at crucial moments. I bubbled this one, and didn't play well after that.
In my last $2/180 I made it itm and with 9-1 odds in the SB I decided to call with 45s. Flop was 235, and I pushed immediately only to get called by 22 and A3, and I was out 16th. Bleh! |
