In the ftops schedule I played last month I cashed in 2/12 and didnt play a further 2 events. I returned 2.6K from a total of 5.4K buyins. I ran very badly (see reports in previous blogs). At least I won a flip in the main though!
Iv gone through all the mtts on stars/FTP/ipoker with decent gtd prizepools and big fields as my ROI on 189+ runners is a lot stronger than in smaller tournaments.

After speaking with my two main backers Im going to play the following 29 mtt's on sunday 19th December and agreed on the same mark up as before of 1:1.25 and looking to sell a maximum of another 35%

robocow on FTP 43%ROI off 1000 (+16.8k/55.6k)
robc1978 on stars -17%ROI off 700 (-2.8k/15.2k)

total works out at 25%ROI from 1700comps. 14K profit from 71K

I was ranked in the top 1% of mtters on FTP in 2009 and was in the top 1% this year until last month.
Unfortunately my ROI dropped considerably due to running 0/13 ftops M/E qualifiers and running pretty badly accross the 12 events I played last month (see previous posts).
As before if l feel like im burning out then I wont register for some of the later comps and will refund the buyins but tbh I play about 40mtts a night when I do have a proper session on a laptop/old monitor so volume/burnout shouldn't be an issue for 29mtts when my 24" arrives.

I feel a lot happier about playing one night of big buyin mtts than spreading it across a 2 week series such as the ftops. I plan on doing this once a month or maybe once every two months as I have a lot of uni commitments coming up. However depending on my results (as thats obviously what the majority or investors are interested in) I might step it up if im making final tables, escepially if mtt's are about to have to the playerpools/guarantees slashed by any new legislation.
