Sucks - I think stars have had a few probs like this in the past. Regardless - Id b relatively happy with it. 12x in PLO is still not comfortable regardless of the level of play. If you enter the payout structure into an ICM calc, then Im pretty sure u got a great deal, and poker is really about maximising profit in these situations, so theoretically...mission accomplished :)
Now u have 11 buy-ins to go and grind out the 500 for first (or as the case may be, 1 shot at a bigger game ;) )
wp nh for beating the system as far as icm goes
gl gl for running it up further

Yeah I totally get all that but i"d have still rathered play on and go out next than get the $34.25 but oh well. The main anger was the timing of it happening because I would"ve got more money literally just before it happened when I lost that pot plus there was a couple of players with 2-5bbs. No point dwelling though, I"ve got my rant out - onwards and upwards, hopefully the next one will be better.

More than likely the latter :D

So I played a bunch of games last night while waiting for the APAT announcement. I never kept a close track on which games I played due to being more occuppied with following the APAT updates. So anyway my bankroll was $392.37 at the start of the session but by the time I had my final three games loaded it was down to $295 :o My last three games were two $22 F40 SNGs and one $11 F40 SNG. I crashed out of the $11 fairly early when my QQ vs 77 a.i.p.f got outdrawn when the 7"s completed a 4 card straight that appeared on the board. I finished just before the final table in one of the $22 games (only 6 paid though so not exactly great).
In the final $22 game though I made the final table as chipleader. I was running over the table and with 5 left my closest competitor only had around 40% of my stack. Cue a string of cards for me to call shortstacks all ins (JJ, 99, AK, AQ) and all 4 doubled up the shortstacks. One guy went out but with 4 left we were all evens again. I finally managed to grind it to heads up against a guy who had been going all in every hand since 3-handed. I fold first 3 hands heads up to his all-ins with complete trash then have to make a stand and call with my next hand (KQ) but he has Ax and it holds. GG. It was good for +$180 though so the bankroll is now up to a healthy $475.87.
I"ve been playing outside my roll for a few days now so when I inevitably crash I"ll crash hard so I could be back down to nothing in no time :D It"s looking healthy at the moment though so I"ll enjoy it while it lasts!
Next stop $1k or busto...
