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

Oh and, not off to a very good start Tried to double up early and ran into some tough hands, one which I think I could have folded.

Well, not off to a very good start. Taken some tough losses, but I'm not playing to make a $1.30 profit and slip itm, playing to win these! Had a good shot when I bubbled but lost some tough hands

Anyways...back to the grind

Better luck going forward, and thanks for your efforts for COLOMBIANITOS.

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.

2/11!

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.

Nice job there Casper! Keep up the good work.

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.

HOLY CRAP I WON!

Nice one!

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!
