So in the last 24 hours i have:
1) Chopped a $4.40 for $180, it was 3:30am, and i still got credit for the win
2) Won a sunday million seat in a $39 + R, only used the addon for a $75 investment for the $215 seat.
3) Made it deep for the seconds straight time in the nightly $15k on stars, 42nd out of 2242.
So i still need to figure out what im going to do with the million seat. I have $370 in my bankroll currently not including the seat, I could cash out most of that and leave the 215 in T$, or take a shot at the million on my current heater. I definitely have a decision to make.
My 4.40 team is making a charge with us piling up 4 Final Tables YESTERDAY! We're definitely still in the chase, but it will take many many hours to take the title. I still hope to win 2 more on my own to fulfill my goal.
Oh and HOW BOUT THEM CAVALIERS!?!?!?!

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CLOSE
after making it through a large field last week, i came back saturday night to make it through 1500ish players in a $3 freezeout to make the final table with a chiplead, 1st takes 700+ but NOOOOOOOOOO, my QQ gets rivered a boat after I turn broadway against AA (all in preflop however). Then I once again play Ace Jack in that tourny which is the worst hand EVER. I have not reviewed the entire hand history, but i completely dominated once down to 2 tables, but donked it up at the final table to take a dissapointing 7th. Alanis once said "you live you learn".

April Update #2
The middle of the month is approaching, and this contest seems a bit out of reach unless one of two of us get on a complete heater. The top 2 teams have played a sick amount of games that with my school schedule will not agree with. I'd love to win this but the structure does not set up for my situation, if there were one based on first 20 tournys played, I would have more of a chance. Hell is has been profitable, and has kept me focused in these where with the current BR i have i wouldn't be as focused.
Yesterday was a good day overall with a 5th place in a 4.40 and a 17th out of 2100 in the $10 15k guaranteed 3k starting chips. I might have played my best poker ever last night except for when it hit the final 3 tables where i became a total nit. I am going to review my HH video on Xfactor today and figure out where i had spots to reshove or open shove. BCM told me that the more i get deep in these, the more comfortable i will be. I totally agree with that, and I havent played many freezeouts lately, and haven't gotten deep at all. So with more deep finishes, the better my results will be IMO.
A little off topic here: While I was sitting in my personal financial planning class yesterday, we were talking about different kinds of banks and what not, and I thought to myself "How much interest is PokerStars gaining with the offshore bank accounts they hold with all the players bankrolls?" I never really thought that not only with the rake they charge, but the holdings of bankrolls they are generating income as well. If they are holding an average of $50 million (just a guess) and getting a 5% interest on the account they are making $2.5 million per year. Its just sick.
April $4.40 stats:
Cashes: 6
Top 5's: 5
Wins: 0
Oh and word of advice, DO NOT play a final table with your knowitall dad over your shoulder who is not a poker player. It was kind of funny to hear what he was telling me which is prob what most of the 4.40 players are thinking. But it was definitely a distraction and might have cost me a win, of which i got 2nd on a A7 < K6.

Challenge on hold, Kinda
This past week i really didn't get to play much with school starting back up and all and getting a routine down for the quarter. Sometime last week I noticed the possibility of playing in a $4.40 180 man team challenge against 19 teams ( i think) via pocketfives.com. This will go on throughout the month of April, and each team will give their best 30 cashes (teams of 3). Winning team chops a touch over $1,200 and I feel like my team really has a shot.
I am setting goals for myself for this challenge/contest. Since each team member needs to average 10 quality cashes, I would like those top 10 cashes to all be top 5 finishes, and those would include 3 wins. My teamates Drarr and Lefty747 are both PXF subscribers and just as good in these as I am. We definitely have a chance, I just hope the cards fall the right way for us to get the money shipppppppped.
