@TimeTraveler524 3,750 on the fortune bonus ($25), 2,500 on the progressive ($5). plus the $100 bet ~$6,350 total

had a date cancel on me with "sorry, i got tied up watching a mahjong tournament"

[mike @mciccarelli]

won a $250k gtd nlh event at wynn. got it all-in with a royal along the way.

finally figured out how to order iced coffee at starbucks. gotta say “drop of cream.” splash, light, just a bit all mean a full cup of milk

[mike @mciccarelli]

learned to code by breaking shit and trying again until it worked. nothing beat finding the bug after hours of trial and error. i'd shout when i figured it out. ai's faster but it doesn't pay out like that
