Donkin' around at 2/4 NL

i played a bunch of tournaments and satellites yesterday and over the weekend. won some satellites. but, not much came of that. went deep and cashed in some tournaments. but, not much to speak of. i probably, cashed approximately $600 or more total in my MTT's over the last few days.

started donking around the cash games to clear my $300 FTP bonus. i've cleared $120 so far and have until 4/2 to clear the rest.

there are sum serious donks in the cash games. here are two hands i was involved in that were horribly played.
