2007 finale +$21.71

so a good december in my opinion. i know i haven't set the world on fire with the dolla i have won but its a profit and am fairly happy with c. 6bb/100. if i can sustain that as i move up the levels then i will be chuffed.

there have been some rather dramatic swings as you can see above, some all ins that didn't go my way and others that did. i actually ran pretty much on expectation overall so i have made some bad decisions which i need to fix ready for 2008 and i plan to revisit all my showdown hands.

i did also want to post my last hand of 2007 (off on hols tomorrow) which i think is a great way to end the year
