From busto to… not as busto
On Sunday my bankroll was down to just over $400, just enough to grind my standard set of 25 $16s, then I went ahead and lost like a hundred bucks, so I had to go play some sats for the Sunday Million so I could use the $T (game 50). I’ve been playing the 6 man hyper turbo sats that jorj95 is always in with my FPP’s. Starting stacks are 10 BB’s and there are antes from the start, top 2 get seats and 3rd gets their FPP’s back. I played 4-5 a couple weeks ago and lost them all so that was a lot of fun. This time around it went much better with a seat and two 3rds, so I could survive another day. I’ve been in this spot so many times so it doesn’t really bother me much and I always get out of it even if I need a quick loan/stake. Poker is pretty cool like that, when you develop online friendships with guys passing around $1000 doesn’t seem like a big deal. To non poker players I’d imagine it would seem super sketchy. Anyways, my results have been a lot better and I’ve put in some ok volume the last 3 days, here’s a graph:
My ITM on this stretch has actually been lower than usual, but my 1st place finishes are so high it’s saved me a bit. I’m gonna go hit some balls then probably grind a few more sets after we workout tonight. Many happy returns!

Nice results! Grinding out the FPP tounreys is pretty strong, keep the grind going!
And btw, how did you find my blog? Are you stalking me??

What was the funnest part of the ones you lost a couple weeks ago?
Can you make a birdie with a brand new golfball that you play for ONLY one hole, and then sign it and mail it to me?

Probably doubling up early and feeling like I was pretty much guaranteed a seat :(. Funny idea… I won’t play again until the new year but if I can keep it in my head I will do it <3
