[Closed] numpaf's Fixed Limit adventure

Thanks for the encouraging words guys, but I'll stick to FR for now. I'll take a shot at 0.5/1 FR when I have the roll for it and then eventually move to 0.25/0.5 SH. I think there are some leaks in my game which I want to correct before moving to SH. As soon as my graduation duties are over, which would be in the end of June, I will have the time to read all articles again and devote some serious ammount of time to poker.

Next update will be at the end of the month.
