Challenge, Day 8

Heiko claims that he has given up the challenge in his most recent blog post. I think it's a real shame that things did not run well for him, I said from the beginning that I hoped we would both come out as winners (with me winning slightly more obv). Hopefully he can get back in his groove soon and finish the challenge with an upswing, although he has stopped counting his stacks.

As for me, I had a nice day once again:

Played hours: 2.5
Stacks: +5.53 (€4975.86)
Total stacks for the challenge: +21.95 (€19751.47)

That made up for yesterday's losses and then some. The key hands (no HHs) were a couple overpair vs overpair setups and one flopped set that dodged a flopped flush draw. It always feels good to get right back on your feet after a tough day. Also, I received my October rakeback payment which came out to be just over €2k. I still plan on playing days 9 & 10 out, even though the challenge is basically over.

Thanks again to everyone who voted for me to win, stay tuned as I'll post some news regarding the book giveaway in a couple days when the challenge is officially over.

Song of the day: Temptations - My Girl (reason being that I'm going to their concert in Berlin tonight)
