Financing Parties

BR: $26,861

So I wanted to finance a "party", and it seemed like I needed about 200$ to make it happen. I was also in the middle of a problem set, and desperately wanted to get to bed so I could continue working on the thing early in the morning. So I announced rather arrogantly that I was going to make a grand in the next half hour, then go to bed.

Outcome: Hero wins $1526.

The game was absurdly wild, and ended up filling with three more fellows from Las Vegas (UTG was from Vegas). I didn't really want to be involved in this kind of variance anymore (see, free money), and besides, I had made my target amount.

I finished ahead of schedule. Took twenty minutes. And prior to starting the problem set I played a 20 minute session waiting for someone to arrive, and did similarly well.

It's good to run good.
