PTR has missed like 15K of my hands though ♠_o: 
Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:
$0.5/$1 No-Limit Hold'em (8 handed)
Known players:
[tg]BU$100.00:///////;SB (Hero)$135.10:///////;BB$40.00:///////;UTG2$76.20:///////;MP1$101.50:///////;MP2$100.00:///////;MP3$47.00:///////;CO$100.00:///////;[/tg]
Preflop: Hero is SB with K:d, J:c.
4 folds, CO raises to $3.00, BU calls $3.00, Hero raises to $12.00, BB folds, CO calls $9.00, BU folds.
Flop: ($28) T:h, 8:h, Q:s (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $16.00, Hero raises to $123.10, CO folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back.
Final Pot: $44.
In this spot I squeezed on bb and flopped an OESD.
I elected to C/R because I didn't like betting that much since I'd probably have to fold when played back at. Check raising gives me the chance to get it in with alot of fold equity.
Plus I had the read on this guy that he bets in position vs missed cbet 100% of the time over 9 times, so I do get value from his bluffs this way too.

Preflop: Hero is UTG2 with A:s, A:h.
Hero raises to $3.00, 2 folds, MP3 calls $3.00, CO folds, BU calls $3.00, 2 folds, BB folds.
Flop: ($10.5) T:s, 4:d, T:h (3 players)

Turn: ($20.5) T:c (2 players)
Hero bets $10.00, MP3 calls $10.00.

Hero bets $21.00, MP3 raises to $151.15(All-In), Hero folds, MP3 gets uncalled bet back.
Final Pot: $61.5.
In this hand I just don't think he's ever shoving something that's not a T.
He's not a reg, so I don't think he would be smart enough to turn 99 or JJ in to a bluff and I don't see him calling flop and turn without a pair or a T.
And I don't think he gives me credit for folding QQ-AA which is what my hand looks like.
edit: maybe KK that shoves for value on the river because I bet half pot all the way?

WALL OF SHAME!
The wall of shame will only be up here if I think played a hand where I've made an absolutely horrendous play or a terrible misclick.
Unluckily, I have one this time... ♠_cry:
Ladies and gentlemen.
My worst misclick ever(bb wise):
http://www.pokerhand.org/?6182100
I posted it on pokerhand because somehow the pokerstrategy converter wouldn't convert it.
So yeah I wanted to raise to like 30 because the squeezer is a fish, but somehow went all in. Got punished in the worsed way with utg waking up with AA:(

To be continued in next update...

By the looks at your winrate graph...
You should be beating 5kNL @ 55bb/100....
How is this possible you win more as you go up? LUCKBOX!

Challenge Update nr.7
Hi! 
I've played 50K hands on NL100!
Here is the graph:
Huge blueline swings, pretty rocky redline too!
I've been having a lot of crazy sessions and some days where I go up and down 3-5 buyins. (yes these are biggish swings for FR )
But my PTR says I'm steady eddy, so I'll go with that ♠_biggrin:
Anyway, pretty good results, just running below ev(standard).

Ofcourse in the second one you kinda feel it coming, still folding top full house doesn't happen for me 100bb deep.
Maybe he has JJ, is all you can think

Next update will probably have some NL200 in it, depends how I run.
Byeeeee! ♠_love:

Those OMGWTFBBQ hands... talk to the master because by now I've seen dozens of them river lucking bastards who call the turn bets when they shouldn't have XD.
UTG2 was too tight, no reason to 3bet because I'd have to fold to a 4bet.
Also I fold out almost all worse hands. By calling I keep my range wide open.
Now I play with QQ against his whole EP range, instead of forcing myself to play against the top of his range and lose value against the rest.
Darkzzz
I remember having AA in the hole and my oponent JJ, hitting his set on the flop. On the turn I had my 4 of a kind. Nothing you can do about these situations.
