I Don't Ask For Much

But I would like to occasionally fade one outers, be able to get the nut straight in against bottom pair no kicker profitably, and not be bluff shoving AA against ATC. 5 sessions into the new year and already out over $2k AIEV. Oh, it would also be nice if Miikka Kiprusoff could stop a beach ball when his team dominates so they could get a well deserved win.
