Update

One of the parameters set in 2+2 of doing this 15 Big Bet Challenge is to complete it in 3 hours and see how far you can make it up the ladder. That doesn't work too well for me as I may be interrupted with work, which was the case today. But I'll try to stick to the requirements and see how it goes.

I finished off the .05/.10 level in 144 hands. I was really card dead for about 6 orbits and saw a ton of action being thrown around. Needless to say, I was licking my chops and eager to see some hands come my way.

Most of the players are so weak passive it isn't even funny. Patience is key and you'll get paid off with your good hands like this one. I was hoping for some more action after seeing the other guys' hands, but alas.....
