Good recovery! $38 dollar investment, and only $94 for second, that is only a 2.5 return on investment, for the fear of sounding stupid, that doesn"t sound a good return, is this normal? What was first prize?
I played a two table SNG last night on BSQ and for a $5 investment collected $50 for winning 10x return, now thats more like it. ;)

10x return.... nice one  :)

The $94.50 for 2nd is standard

9 seat SNG $35+3   Prize pool = $315

Payout 1st = 50%   2nd = 30%   3rd = 20%

I was just glad to end up in profit for the night as I shouldn"t really have been playing  ::)

nice one mate

Ok started a couple of games....

$5 + .50 Speed Rebuy MTT on BSq.... Don"t know why I bothered with this as it"s not my sort of game... Suppose it was just that it was the 1st tourney starting (already a bad decision).

Was not going to re-buy when i busted but for some reason when I lost with my 55 to Mr. Crazy's 33 I re-bought and then lost it all again 3 hands later with 99 in a multi way pot with more overcards than....... well than a thing with a lot of overcards.  No re-buy this time and a $10.5 loss

Also playing a $20+2 STT on Stars at the same time.  Was playing well and was chip leader when I raised PF with AK and called the push that came only to lose to A10 when a K on the river made his straight.  Went out a few hands later as I was short stacked and had to push.  $22 loss

Now after feeling quite good and up for a session of decent poker I'm already tilting.....

OK so 5 mins meditation required before I sign up for anything else....

Total = Loss $20

Zanshin:
Calmed down now  8)

Onto a $25+2 STT (Stars)  and a $15+1.50 (BSq) starting soon.

Side note: listening to Elbow live with the BBC orchestra  :)

Edit: also decided on a $30+3 MTT on BSq
