GL with this Asa
If you haven"t played many stts before it will defo help the late stages of mtts/FTs
Sooo many short handed, short stack, big blinds situations that you soon become very good at them.

That"s partly what I"m hoping. I know I need to loosen up a little bit, and play situationally when it gets down to say under 30 runners in an mtt.

Played just the 8 last night as working all weekend was pretty tiring.
I definitely found the other side of variance, in 5 of the 8 I lost all in pre"s with pocket pairs ( once 88 and the rest JJ+) vs A rags, including one KK v A2, where the chip leader with approx 7k decided to call my 3.5k shove with 5 left.
Managed to win the last of the 8 to stop it being a total disaster however!
Will be playing a fair few of these this afternoon and evening.
Games played: 18
Bankroll: $158.16 (+$5.20)

Fairly decent day results wise, won"t be playing any later now as I"m up at 6 :(
Played 20 in total, won 7 of them and 3rd in another, should really have done better as well, so I know I"m playing decently at this level.
Games played: 38
Bankroll: $172.18 (+$19.22)
Currently experimenting between 4 and 6 tabling on my laptop as I much prefer to tile my tables, 6 seems to be comfortable which is good news.
Very happy with the news regarding Blonde and DtD, especially regarding the Blondebash in early April, and obviously I"m hoping to go to that, as there"s a fair few I"d like to bump into again ( especially if we get the football on Saturday morning going again), and it"s been too long since I"ve managed to get to DtD. I"ve been to 2 Blondebashes at DtD, helping win the HU event 1st time ( twice I won when the pressure was on at 2-2) as well as winning in the final of the HU tournament, and 2nd time even managed to cash the main event. Luton Blondebash was absolutely epic for the Saturday night and the Sunday ( £2 turnover was absolutely amazing), whereas Leeds, even though not as well attended as the others, for me from a social side was epic, cannot remember laughing as much as I did in Leeds, midnight cricket, lampost hiding and a comedy cash game.
