12:10am. Well, it was a good run while it lasted. I took my GF out to dinner and a movie tonight, and as soon as I got home I strapped in for a late night session. I loaded up two matches, everything is going as planned: I have both opponents down to about 700 in chips to my 2300. I then put the first guy away to make it 18 straight, and I have the second guy down to 540 chips, and then this happens:

From there, he was able to come back and take the match as my Ks8s didn’t hold up to his J10off, at 75/150 blinds all in for the match.
….and so it ends, thanks to everyone for the support, and I look forward to ATTEMPTING to give it a try again someday.
Now, on the rest of my session. Results tommorow…
*EDIT*, 2:03am: 7-4 so far on the day, and I’ve got no complaints. I’ll take 7-4 all day long, and then some.
*EDIT*, 3:52am: Ok, I can’t keep my eyes open anymore. It was a good session overall. I would have loved to keep the streak going and hit 20, but that’s not how it usually works, and you know it. Anyways, I finished the session 10-6. Good night guys, and will update tommorow..
