Blog Contest and Downswinging

Blog Contest:

I decided to stop waiting for Full Tilt's reply on my blog contest, so I emailed PokerStars an hour ago. They already replied and gave me the go ahead!

I added this super cool flag counter to the right side of my blog. It counts the number of unique visitors from each country that read my blog. I added it a week ago, and currently there are 24 countries represented. I want you to guess the date when my blog will reach 30 countries. In the entry, I want you to include the following details -

1. Date when it reaches 30 countries
2. The number of unique visitors USA has on that day (tiebreaker)
3. Your PokerStars username

Leave your answers in a comment. I will likely leave it open for two days, but get your entries in ASAP because I will close it whenever I feel like!

The winner gets $50 sent to them on PokerStars, but has to flip it with me at a cash table! I will post the hand history here. If you're reading my blog and don't have a PokerStars ID (mostly my real life friends), just put your name on there and if you win, create an ID, and we'll flip it.

Downswinging:

Poker is no fun when you're on a downswing, and this current run is the worst I have ever experienced. I have had a 15k downswing at PLO, but that took a month. This one happened in 3 days. It's pretty devastating and I'm doing my best to not let it affect me. But, it definitely has, and I have not been playing my best. I really really really really want to get back to playing my A game in the next few days. It's going to be a long and tough struggle to complete this challenge, but I am still confident of doing it.

Overall Profit after day 18: 11483

The graph is really nasty. I went from being 9k above EV to 3k below EV. The worst part of the graph isn't the actual money I have lost... it's the stupid red line actually going down for the first time in super turbos. I am definitely not making good decisions, and that is changing starting immediately.
