I'm not so much disapointed w/ today, as i am annoyed. I didn't play a single sng, because i just wanted to try mass mtt's. I got home around 2pm from class with some Japenese food, yum....played both $55 mtts, both $11R and the $22R, the $25+2.50, as well as a satelite to the Sunday $215 and a satelite to the nightly $162. I monied the $25, would have had a huge lead, but i slowplayed my set of tens to a guy who raised suited gappers, to have him hit runner runner flsuh on me, oh well. Then in the $22R i got in again for just $62, but AK lost to QQ pre again, no biggie. In the $162 mtt at night, we started w/ 2k in chips, and w/ 2 minutes left in the first hour, i had 1100 chips, so utg raised QQ and i shoved AJo back at him to suckout...not like i thought he had QQ.....I hovered around 3k chips for...oh 40 more minutes, getting nothing or being raised before i could act. Finally i got QQ and beat AQ's push. Then a couple hands later i got AK and got a short stack shove, then a reraise behind him, so i shoved over it all. AQ vs JJ vs my AK, and i flopped the K and turned the A....so woo i won a race-. I was now around 15k, w/ still around 150 players left. From then on it was smooth sailing, because that's when i do my best in mtts, when i have enough chips to fold and wait. I got to final 18, and was so excited because first was a nice $30k, but got AI 88 vs QQ w/ no suckout, such crappppppp. Still made a nice $1k, so i'm happy ....i guess.
Today: +$836.59
Total: $2,149.72

So Close It Sucks
Today was good to a degree. I was down in sng's on the end of the day, but hit Platinum Star! WOO. I played the $22R and the $11R at night, ended up getting 21st in the $22R and 34th int he $11R. I played the $22R perfect, made relatively no bad plays, besides not fast playing my set when the guy to my right had an over pp, because the turn put out a gutshot str8 on the board. I got some setups w/ QQ v JJ for a huge pot, and then won a big race w/ 44 vs AK to put me back on top. Then TMay raised utg, as he had done 50% of the time, and since he's got pos. on me and is just a better player post flop, i shoved my 300k stack in from sb w AQhh, leggy (bb) insta called and then TMay folded. Leggy obv woke up w KK, and even tho i flopped 2 hearts, i missed everything, sigh....i hadn't sucked out yet on an AI...in that mtt! comeon ps.... That put me down from 300k to about 80k. After another rotation i just took my J6 and shoved, and the bb called and felted me w/ AJo. Then I was in the $11R still, which I was hoping would be my second chance. I had a nice stack earlier till some retard decided to shove his bottom pair on me and river me for a 30k pot, leaving me w/ only 30k in chips. I finally stole blinds w/ around 150 left, and then shoved A8 in mid-late pos, to be called by AT. flop 7 8 9, and i somehow held to dbl up. Then after a table change, utg raised and i reshoved 66, which is turning out to be my hand in many mtt's as of late...he insta calls w/ KK, and i'm seeing the $22R in a different view. This time i flop my set and hold, and feel bad, but good at the same time, while i have kyle spaming shit in aim, wish he could have his old luck back, it puts my luck to shame. So w/ two suckouts and top 10 of 60, i felt good. Then AK shoves utg, and i call w/ AQo for about half my stack. Flop Q J J, but he hit "river river" clubs for the flush on me. Oh well, thought AQ was good, hard to fold that hand there to an utg shove who's short... I finally got to where another player, who was somewhat loose, shoved in mid-late pos, and i thought about it for a while, and made the "worst call of the day" by calling him w/ AThh. He turned over AQdd and flopped the flush draw, and held. I guess it was just a long day for me, class, test, and then 4 hours of 2 differnet rebuy's. I have no shame about the $22R, but the $11R i could have done better, esp after i got so lucky to be that far w/ those 2 suckouts. Oh well....tomrorow i hope will be better in mtts..
Today: +$115.79
Total: $1,313.13 ( tossed another $45.81 to my fund, in order to hit that beautiful #13....WOO)

Good Day Sir....
Today was a good day, took a test early in the day, visited my sister's new little puppy, and then came home to grind $55 sngs. I needed 1600 more vpp's in the next 2 days for platinum star, so i played 4 $55's at once while i played 4 tbls of $.50/$1. After about an hour of rings, i jumped off +$65 or so, having been up to +$180, just played too many hands i guess, plus kept getting outflopped even after i raised pre...sigh. Anyways, i only need 715 more vpps tomorrow, tho i'll only have from 5pm till midnight to get them, sicne i have class till then ;'( Anyways, 1 day closer to SB! WOO....
Today: +$349.05
Total: $1,243.15

Vacation
I took a couple days vacation from posting on here because i was running under neutral and doing badly, but i've come back from most of the damage. I was down to $400 from 2 straight bad days, but i'm now back around $900 from sngs. I haven't been playing too many mtts, tho i did play the $55 mtt earlier today. i started playing more $33 sngs for a while, and was liking it, but i just got tired of 8 tbling, it can be so annoying. i started 4 tbling $55 sngs, which i haven't been doing too well in, but 25% of them have been bubbles and another 20% are 5th places, due to races or just live cards mopping my ass. I also keep getting 3rd somehow, because i win races early in sngs, but i get this 3 handed curse that crushes me somehow, weird. I need 1600 more vpp's by the end of the month, aka in 2 days, in order to hit platinum star, which might be a little challenging considering i have 2 hard tests the next 2 days, but i'll do ittttttt. spring break is only a week and a half away! considering i'm prolly leaving for mcallen on friday morning w/ kyle. Sadly, my group of friends from plano aren't coming down till wednesday morning, because 2 of them go to UNT which has a different spring break week off, WTF? oh well, we're going to stay there till sunday or monday morning, and then come up to austin and party a little bit up here. Alex and greg also better stay at my condo the entire fucking week, so i can beat them live in poker again, well at least beat greg, i've already beaten alex so many times this past session of live games, it's gotta be annoying for him... but it'll be mucho fun. Look for more updates sooon. and btw, i was told limp calling w KQ in a sng is a good play, esp when the limper knows i'm shoving a low pp. that's the "worst call of the day." peace out.
Today: +$290.00
Total: $894.10 ( cashed out $200 for spring break purposes )
