Day 2

I'm home!!!

Another day at the MTTSNGs (minus the 18 mans)... another nice days profit! Didn't manage to win a single tournament and best I could do in a 180 man was 3rd, but still managed to rack up a decent day.

The only real issue I have with playing these is that I don't get many FPP's, but mehhhhh the money is great and also keeps you focussed when your playing 20+ tables at a time!

Total profit today of $478

Money to go - $18,697

Day 3 & 4

I can't finish em off!!!!!


Aghhhhh so frustrating this past 2 days. It keeps seeming that I'm getting deep in literally every single last tournament that I play but once we get around the bubble, I'm doomed losing a massive flip or something so been really frustrating!

I did manage to win my first ever $7.70 180 man which was cool, but just for $376. I'm just really really struggling to finish them off now, but its just variance. I mean, when i'm playing 100+ games a day, you gotta realise there are gonna be swings. It's how you handle them that makes you a good player.

On thursday I made $149 over 120+ games, but yesterday I lost $209 over 43 games! Jokesssssssss.

Money to go - $18,757

Day 5, 6 & 7

MTT's, Mother's Day and getting there...

Lets start with day 5. Saturday. Played a fair few games but as before running pretty crappy late game.

Day 6, sunday, I didn't play. It was mother's day over here and I thought I was well due a break!

Day 7 however... well that would be today. I decided to play pretty much every MTT I found fanciable in my normal playing hours, and seemed to get deep in a load. I think I cashed 3, maybe 4, but the one worth noticing was the $33 12.5k gtd.

Alas, a final table. I managed to bink 3rd for $1.4k. Slightly unlucky, running AJ into AQ 3 handed, about 30bb's deep, but I felt at the time as though I was behind and couldn't find my way to the fold button, so my own fault really!

I FT'd a couple 180 mans too, but ran like crap in the 45 mans without a single cash. In spit of the $1.4k cash, I only found myself up $982 today. On saturday I was $275 down, which means since the last update, we can take off an extra $707.

Another MTT score would help me well on my way now...

Money to go - $18,050

Days 8 & 9

Ughhhhhhh

I'm startin to get so frustrated. I was hoping to be at least around 16k by now, but it's just not happening. I'm running horrendously bad and can't seem to get anything going.

Went back to heads up for a few games and done ok but still pretty dismal only $107 profit in the last 2 days!

Money to go $17,943

If I could get this down to 15k by the end of the weekend, maybe there's a chance. Judging from my worst break even (ok I know i'm profitting but not much) spell ever, I doubt it.
