I could most more, but i only uploaded most of those bad beats since from the 77 v 33 to the first one only 1hr 30 passed, it just seemed like i lost every key pot to keep being knocked out tournaments. Sorry for the lame whining post, haven't done one before so i was due!! This week going to play some cash and just ftops/stars $150/300s i think and seriously cut back on tournaments before i break something. Good thing next weekend has a $2500, 100r plo, $129 bounty and $535 ftops ME so i can lose even more tournament money (and clearly going to be playing all sundays again next weekend!!)

So as most of you are aware, i used to play mtts only. For the last ~9months i've been dabbling around in other forms of games, mostly playing PLO and some 6max NLHE, and only playing the bigger tournaments, or when i'm bored. In Vegas i didn't perform too well live (due mostly to being an alcoholic, and playing 8 events rather than the ~25 i planned to play). However i played a small amount online, and managed to win a tournament for $20k and ~$10k in winning from omaha. HH for my stars $150 win http://www.pokerxfactor.com/HA141876/stars150/17307 So now FTOPS and WCOOP are starting, i'm trying to get back into playing tournaments. The last few days i've played a fair amount and not really enjoyed it that much - even choosing to just play ftops and a 300fo yesterday to prevent getting burnt out. However tomorrow is sunday, which mean losing lots of money, my current schedule looks like: Pokerstars 12.45 $215 Sunday Warmup 13:00 $109 NLHEfo 14:00 $109r NLHEr 15:00 $55 NLHEfo 15:15 $55r NLHEr 16:30 $215 Sunday Million 17:00 $55 NLHEfo 17:15 $215 NLHE HU 17:15 $55r NLHEr (1 rebuy 1 addon) 17:30 $530 NLHEfo 18:00 $322 WCOOP ME sat 18:30 $215 Sunday Second Chance 19:00 $100 NLHE and FTP 13:00 $75 NLHE 6max 13:30 $55r NLHEr (1 rebuy 1 addon) 14:00 $256 FTOPS#08 (basically the brawl) 15:00 $153 NLHEfo 16:00 $535 FTOPS#09 (HU shootout) 16:00 $75 NLHEfo 18:00 $322 FTOPS#010 (FTP sunday) 19:00 $75 NLHE 19:05 $215 Sunday Mulligan ~$4800 in buyins So should be a fun day. For the rest of the FTOPS i think i'm going to go back to grinding cash while the FTOPS isn't running, and just focus on one/two tabling FTOPS and stars $150/$300 nightlys. Obviously other sundays will be mtt grinds, but i just don't think i can go back to solid mtt days. There is a nice few weeks break between ftops and wcoop which is good, and then when wcoop starts i'll either play cash and 1/2 table WCOOP, or add more mtts into the mix if i'm liking tournaments again. One last thought - the more i play cashgames, the more i feel tournamenst are crapshoots and less fun. However the bigger buyin tournaments generally have a better structure, and clearly the better structure tournaments are much more fun since there is way more play - gogogo run good WCOOP one time!
