Aruba was amazing....I got in on monday and met with some ap players and a couple people who work for the company. I spent alot of time with a guy named AD who seemed to be a higher up at AP - we talked a little about what needs to be changed on the site and a possible deal they might work out with me....they might be adding a higher vip level to award the long term grinders, that would hopefully give SNE on stars a run for their money. The tournament itself was a let down - day 1 I ended with 23k. Day 2 I planned on opening up my game and going deep. I chipped up to about 80k at 500/1k when my downfall began. first I lost a 30k pot pre with AQ vs 79. AQ proved to be my downfall again when I was rivered by a flush and had to fold top pair on the river to lose 12k more. Finally I flopped the nut straight, c/r'ed all in the turn to a turned straight/flush draw and she hit. gg me.
So now that Im back AP is running one of their biggest promotions yet - a 100k race giving 15k to first and coming down, with 7th getting 5k, 10 getting 2k. Sadly missing 3 days of the month put me in bad shape to get top 3 in this, so Im shooting for 7th(5k). Games have been running strong, and between AP and Cake I got in about 850 sngs this week, making about 3500-4k(outside bonuses). Amazingly Im up roughly 1k on Cake this month, still putting me in the red on sharkscope but a possible sign that this ridiculous run is turning. I also put in a solid 60 hour week, which comes to about 14-15 games per hour. My goal is to continue with atleast 50 hour weeks the rest of this month and hopefully break my previous rake record of 16k, and play atleast 2500 games. If I can run like I should Im hoping to do atleast 20-25k with all the bonuses. GL me.
