So far it's been pretty fun, yet frustrating. I'd like to move up levels, but this type of hand above is bound to happen once in a while. I just hope I get better and am able to avoid these situations from time to time.

Sticking with my BRM promise to myself, I'll be moving back down a level for a little while (hopefully a very short while).
