Shipped 75k Tilt

So I was slumping big time this month - got to about -10k yesterday when I was deep in a couple big ones - stars 100k, Tilt 40k, Tilt 75k, Cake 20k......I was actually like 2/70 or something in the Tilt 40k when we got ITM - everytime I opened I got 3 bet, and obv couldn't get hands....eventually this guy who had been opening a ton of buttons opened again at like 1/2k to 5k, I had Q8ss and decided Id make my stand with 40k.....I reraised to 20k and he shipped me - obv had TT and I couldn't hit. Stars I had been riding a decent stack but getting near the money I fell down to about 9 bb when the sb shoved me in I had K7ss made the call, he had Q4 and binked the queen on the flop....The Cake 20k I actually became CL at the final table when I won a big flip, but eventually I had KJ on a 98QT3 where another guy had the same hand but of hearts so that knocked me way down low pretty quick....I took 5th for like 1300. The 75k was really my last chance - I wasn't that big in it at any point really till we got down to about 30 players - I forget how I got there but eventually I had a 200k stack and decided I'd just relax and play pretty solid, some weak 3 bets but nothing too crazy.......had one hand where this guy opened i 3 bet k9 he called flop came k36, he checked i checked......turn came Ts putting three spades up there, he bet like 10k into a 40k pot or something like that so i called....river came a non spade 9 - he bet half pot for 44k, i called, he had A high.....he wasnt too happy to see me 3 betting him with k9.....it setup the next hand vs him though where he raised and i 3 bet again this time with KK. he called the flop came all blanks, he checked and I made another 50% pot bet where he raised and we got it in. At the final table there were some real good players there - Tmay420 and Miltman were the notables and obv two players I did not want to see get stacks.....I did notice when we got to the FT how nitty alot of the people were playing.....I lost a race 6 handed with TT vs AK for a decent sized pot and fell to 6/6.....I got my hopes down at that point but kept picking up blidns here and there when Tmay opened the button and I 3 bet from sb.....he 4 bet and I got in JJ - he had AJ and doubled me up.....it was great to get a double from the best player at the table as I crippled him and just had miltman who was short left to deal with....I got reshoved by miltman about 7 times lol - sadly had nothing everytime as I was dieing to call him...he eventually busted 4th or 3rd (cant remember).....when we got heads up the ICM chop was 19,6 and I wanted 20k flat - he wouldn't budge so whatever Ill do the ICM chop.....anyways went from -10k on the month to +10k so was an eventful night. hopefully I can have a repeat of it tonight as well
