Nice Poker Day [1,260 Hands]

Today I was playing well and making money. Take a look at the screenshot below from Holdem Manager...
A very nice clip to be moving at, and basically its been 7+ptbb/100 for the last 10k hands or so, and hopefully I keep playing well and avoid coolers to keep going at this pace, because it sure does feel great.

One thing that is also great is that PokerStars finally released their auto-chip-reloader so I don't have to constantly push F9 after every hand to get myself up to 100 buyins every hand. That's been real nice and it's another example of PokerStars continuing efforts to keep their players happy (this was the "one big thing" that FullTilt Poker had that PokerStars did not).

Today saw some pretty crazy players at the tables. I am not sure if there was some drunken spewover from Game 1 of the World Series but I saw some "weekend fish" at the tables and I was happy to see that. Check this maniac out:

This was an example of me paying attention before play began for me in the big blind. I was watching this guy just bet big and really look like he was bluffy and bad and simply winning pots by pure wreckless and nonsensical agression. In the end he was 81/16 over 20 hands.

Anyways I am now up to 16,816 hands this month which is of course a new record but the goal is 20k and there's still an outside shot I can make that. With GoldStar status only 375 vpps away that seems like it's a lock, but we will see.
