WSOP seat... SHIP

So last night I decided to give up tournies for a while cause I haven't been playing my best. Although I am still going to play in whatever FTOPS events I can. Got back to my house today in time to play the miniFTOPS where I got pwned by a donkey when I had twice the avg stack. Didn't last very long in the double deuce. However I played the 33$ satelite for $2500 WSOP seats. It turned out to be a great value, 200k guaranteed in the prize pool, and only 3878 people signed up, making it about a $55 value. I got off to a good start and was cruising. Then I ran 88 into AA on a resteal attempt gone wrong. Taking me down to a short stack. This hand happened a bit later against a loose preflop raiser when I was in survival mode.

Such a sick suckout. This have me a little more than avg stack with about 180 people left. I was able to ride this stack to the $2500 seat. It's all about timing, and this suckout got my $2500. Not sure if I'll play the event, probably not but I have some time to think about it.

However, I am still going to take a break from tournaments. Gonna try to grind my bankroll up to 6k (at about 4k right now), so I can play 1/2 on the weekends since it's so fishy. My exception is that I'll play FTOPS stuff when I can and tournaments on Sundays since it's the donk day.

I'll update more later on how my cash sessions went this last week with my not looking at HEM challenge thing.
