This just in, weekends are still awesome. I had a solid Friday followed by a very good Saturday. The strange thing about Saturday though, is that $1050 of my ~$1250 profit came from the 200NL games, which only accounted for 10% of my hands. Running at ~35ptBB/100 will do that.

Here's a graph of Friday + Saturday, along with a couple gem hands at 200NL. Weekend donks are awesome.
