won a 75 buy in on tilt

shipped the 24k gtd on tilt for 8k on tues, along with a 2k chop of the ap afternoon 30r, and had my stakee go 3rd in the ap 20k for another 1k in profit that day. I think my 3 day week so far went -1k monday, +8k tues, -1400 today.......the 24k was a real weak tournament when we got down to the final two tables - I don't know if people were trying to move up in the money or what, but they were very tight and made it easy for me to chip up.......at the final table everyone was super nitty - people folding down to 4 bbs trying to move up payouts it was hilarious....thats the good thing about hitting bigger scores atleast mentally for me - of course everyone says they go for the win and dont think about the money, but if your dealing with a 1st place prize thats larger then uve ever hit itll definitely effect you. With this case it was 8k so it had zero effect on my play. I never look at payouts when Im deep in a tournament or at a final table - I hate knowing how much Im going to get outside of first and really any payout outside of first is a failure. I ended up winning some showdowns and got HU with like 70% of hte chips in play - we got it in pretty quickly preflop with me holding ATs vs his AKo but I flopped the flush and it was all over. Ill try to get the HH from the tournament - had a interesting hand with 12 to go that I wanted to post up.

thats it for now - im definitely gonna continue the grind for the month even with the great profit.....Im also going to try to watch some more PXF videos - ive been lazy about it but I gotta put in some more time learning the game. Alot of people when they run good think its because they played great but the reality is its alot easier to play good poker when you have easy decisions and your winning flips nonstop. Thats the problem with success - you dont learn anything from it, if anything success is bad for improving your game. You get lazy, over confident, and lose touch with reality. Some people might even move up to higher stakes when cards are running their way being blinded by luck. I know where my game stands and thats why you dont see me in 1ks, 100rs,etc where you have to play against real good players. I do well vs idiot fish but against good thinking players its alot tougher. So count me out of those MTTs for a while :)

Chopped 60k Tilt

Chopped it for 17.7k....We got HU where I had a little more chips then him, so according to ICM I got 17,701 he got 17,300.....I probably could of squeezed another 1k out of him but I had 7 other MTTs going at the time and was new to the chopping software so I just wanted to end it quick and get some extra guarneteed money. 2ND was 13k first 23k, so not in the mood to play HU for 10k. Its great finally hitting a big score and it'll help my play next time I make a FT with a 20k first place payout...Ive had so many missed opportunities even to hit 10k+ payouts so finally breaking that feels real good. I dont think I had any monster suckouts outside of beating AA with JJ at like 150/300 level for a big double. After that I ran good in terms of winning 4-5 flips, and was able to make some hands and have em hold. Either way obv have to run real good to win a 600 man tourny....Hopefully theres more nice scores like this to come

Oct wrap

October has come to an end and I had a great run towards the end....I ended up making 14,359.00 over roughly 250 tournaments - 27k in buy ins, 41,408 in cashes, resulting in a 53% ROI....the big help was a +8-9k day on the 28th - I won the 501r1a on AP, took 9th in the 60k on tilt, and then 4th in the 80k on AP for 6500...overall I was happy with how the month went - only one win but a ton of deep finishes....I think im finally out of my dry streak that lasted from sept to mid-late October. For Nov my plan is to get in 400 MTTs - I think I should be doing 100 mtts a week and any less is just me being lazy - 100 mtts is about 40 hours of work so its not like im pushing myself to do something I can't obtain. Hopefully all goes well

Im also looking around at new/used cars.....I have an 02 Corvette Z06 which is alot of fun in the warmer months, but when it rains and snows the car is useless. I've been looking around at other things but can't seem to find something that really gets me interested. Im trying to sell the z06 and only spend another 10-15k on a car so my options are somewhat limited - I still want a sports car feel with some luxury and AWD, but the prices are too high for what I want....The Audi S5 really interests me but getting a used one with low miles is gonna cost mid 40s...I can easily afford that but I just cant justify selling my car and then spending another 25k on a car. I like the Infiniti G35 Coupes as well but those only come in RWD. Same goes for used M3s and alot of other sports cars....I guess if I want to get sports car/luxury/ and AWD in one car im gonna have to shell out....Maybe I can ship a monster this month and just buy it outright :)
