Hours Played : 8
Another pretty good day, but I could have won 135$ more if I didn't get unlucky in 2 big hands. The first hand was from my cash game session I played on Full Tilt Poker, where I played for about 4hours and made 38$, which isn't too shabby. (For what its worth though any day that you play a lot poker and don't end up in the red is a good day, even if that means you just break even.) Here's the hand history and breakdown of that hand:

I have top pair top kicker, which figures to be the best hand but their a lot of draws on this board so I raise his bet. He re-raises me, but this guy is a really bad player so it could mean anything. I decide to just call and see what he does on the turn and then proceed from there.
*** TURN *** [Kd Jh 4d] [6h]
whwood77 bets $11.95
He bets the size of the pot on the turn and my gut reaction is that he he has a weak hand and wants me to fold. I think my top pair top kicker is good so I raise enough to put him all in.
the---WiRE1 raises to $53.20
whwood77 calls $15.55, and is all in
the---WiRE1 shows [As Kh]
whwood77 shows [Jd 5d]
He calls with a pair and a flush draw so I was right, but he can still win the hand by hitting any of the 9 diamond cards, 2 jacks, or 3 fives. So he has 14 cards out of 44 he can win with, or about a 30% chance to make his hand.
*** RIVER *** [Kd Jh 4d 6h] [Ad]
the---WiRE1 shows two pair, Aces and Kings
whwood77 shows a flush, Ace high whwood77 wins the pot ($63.95) with a flush, Ace high
I got all my money in being a 70% favorite to win the hand with one card to come, but I got outdrawn. Pretty unlucky for me but I'm glad with how I played it so theirs nothing for me to get upset about, that's just the way the game is.
The other big hand I got unlucky in happened when I was heads up in a 180 man $4.40 tournament on Pokerstars. The difference between first and second was $72, but.....Shit happens and I ended up getting 2nd in the tournament for $144:
Profit chart for the sit and go tournaments I've played on pokerstars the past 2 days:
So after two days I'm +$396, which is pretty good considering I havent played as much as I planned on. When I came up with the idea to try and make $1k in 5 days, I planned on playing a loooooot of sit and go tournaments, anywhere from 75-150 a day. The reason being when you are only playing 3 to 6 dollar buyins, its very hard to make a high amount of money in a short amount of time, unless you are playing a shit ton of them. But two days in I've played 40 of them and made $208, so that's damn good, and doesn't happen very often.
The thing about this challenge is their's very little room for error. If I have just one day with a negative profit margin then the chances of me completing it are slim to none. But shit if it were easy then it wouldn't exactly be a challenge would it?
