Sundays
I've technically had three winning Sundays in a row though this last one hardly counts.
I finished 14th in the $55 500-cap tourney on Stars
9th in the $26 33k KO tourney (with 3600+ entrants and 14.6K to 1st place sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh)
and like 350th in the $640 FTOPS Main Event for 1.2K.
It was a Sunday with some major major potential and I capitalized on it just enough to come out +350 on the day. Ya. Wow. Phew. I really tore it up.
The one thing I feel right now is that I might be coming closer to being the player I want to be. Playing closer to the stakes I should be playing and possibly learning to deal with/accept the downswings that come with those stakes.
One thing I noted on my blog at the beginning of this year about last year (that I wanted to improve upon) was learning to focus more on maximizing my winnings rather than minimizing my losses. I've done better with it this year but I'm not really on the level I want to be on with that. I think I am getting closer though.
Well, even though these last three Sundays haven't even gotten me out of makeup they are a much-needed breath of fresh air into what was an almost lifeless corpse.

Much Needed Win
QQ < JJ deep in the $322 FTOPS and KK < A8o for a huge pot w/ four tables left in the 10r on Stars.
Coulda just as easily been all the way out of makeup today and then some. Whatever. Just gotta keep on grinding. For the first time ever I can say I've had two winning Sundays in a row.

Dent
I got 3rd in the morning $75 KO on Full Tilt today for $4,145. Being a Sunday, the prize pool was bloated with extra money (more than double it's usual 17.5K guarantee).
It took me nearly three months and 647 tourneys to accumulate 11.4k in makeup. I cleared 31% of that in just one tourney. Had I won this tourney (9k) I would have cleared just under 80% of makeup in one shot. This is the power of MTTs.

I'm getting so so sick of updating my graph in the same ridiculous direction it's been going. I'm not trying to draw a mountain here ffs.
Sunday was a complete disaster. Standard.
Early morning Tuesday session yielded a final table in a $109 on stars with like 120 players. Obv I finished 9th. Tonight I got 8th in the $77 turbo 6max on stars.
It's so absurd how many 7th through 18th place finishes I've had. I'm so hungry for this nonsense to end.
I played more tourneys in October than I have any other month all year (except January when I was grinding the micro sched). October turned out to be the only month where I played 250+ tourneys and DIDN'T show a profit.
I'm really frustrated right now but I think this may all be for the best. If I'm going to make it in poker and in Vegas for at least the next few years then I need some harsh lessons and hard times to make me strong.
The only good news I've had recently was finding out tonight that the tea party kook running for Senator here in Nevada got her ass kicked. I'm not a huge fan of democrats anymore but I'll choose them any day of the week over people who want to close their eyes and ears and brains to the world around them and pretend like humans don't face major issues. Seems like politics right now is all about choosing the lesser of two evils. Idk, w/e, I'll figure it all out someday.
