Today's games started as shit.
I rape NL25 usually, and I still got a ton of value out of fish, but I also lost 3x 90% Equity, 2%70% and one KKvTT.
I went to NL10 and I got flush under flush and other stuff.
Down $30 with a huge amount of successful value bets and almost all successful really thin bluffs
Then I started SN freerol and busted in my second orbit as usual.

After last week my GF won $9 in the 100FPP tourney, I set myself a goal of beating that huge score.
It went alright, but I was soon crippled to 6BB stack.
But then poker gods started compensating for my shitty run during the day and these two consecutive hands happened:

L-O-L, what can I say.
After that I started to take it a little bit more seriously, and as I don't know squat about tournaments, I opened Pokerstrategy and their MTT section for Bronze Stars (NL2 players level).
I literally went by the book and played every single hand by their charts, only slightly adjusting if someone was playing very non-standard.
The only time when I didn't play by the chart was on the bubble when I had top2 stack, where everyone was so damn scared.
Then the FT came and I only played strong hands as I was always in top4 stacks, and I passed on many spots where I would autoraise in cash games.
I did play very tight and did not abuse everybody as I do in 6MAX cash, but guess its not that bad at this level.
One hand was really unlucky for me, and I could have aimed at the first place if it turned out better:

Bustoed (For $1400)
by the time when it was 4 handed I didn't really care about the $300 difference, and I wanted to have a shot at winning or just bust.
I lost flip, but still - I can't complain about running bad at all during this tourney :D

The plan
After I get remaining 10k FPP for my $800 SN Bonus, I will be left with almost 3.5k roll.
Don't expect me to take shots at NL100 just yet though.
I will go back to my regular NL50 limit, and I am setting myself a target of 20BI before I will make shots at NL100. This is mostly because I sill have my two major leaks that keep coming back:
1) Hypertilts caused by tiredness
2) Playing based on too small sample.
And there is not much point in leaving micros before I reasonably resolve them as less fish more regs means I will be a lot more aggressive at NL100 and would spew too much.
And of course I can't forget to mention that I AM FUCKIN' AWESOME BITCHIN' MOFO
My borderline busto $410 into $3K+ in 20 days, that surely deserves some love.
I have finally set my mindset into playing 4-6 tables, quitting when I am tilted and watching a ton of vids, if I keep this up only sky is the limit.
