So I haven't put in much volume this month, with only about 6k hands at 100nl and 4-5 bi profit. After last weeks mtt success I decided to give it another go and played like 9 tournys, including 10fos, 10rs, 50fos, and the big doubles on ftp. I cashed the stars 10r for some small amount and managed to get another tilting 25th out of 2000+ in a 10fo for 50 bucks but luckily I ft'ed one of the big doubles. I shortstacked it a while and played pretty poorly cuz there were 3 people just nitting it up so hard that it was obvious that just avoiding marginal spots and waiting for them to cripple themselves would be profitable. After we got 6 handed play slowed down a ton and I went on a roller coaster that took me down to like 7 bbs and then to chip lead 4 hands later. One guy was a random spazz monkey who hated folding and made some pretty awful plays so after he busted in fourth it was just myself and two reasonably competent players. They got into a big cooler spot w/ QQ vs JJ and I got to HU 2:1 down. It took about 5 hands iirc. I ran a pretty big bluff after flatting his button open cuz I thought I could rep a pretty strong hand since I was usually just folding or 3betting a polarized range the whole final table. Unfortunately he had something huge and I ended up getting outchipped like 5:1 before busting in a spot where we both flopped bottom pair and I picked up an oesd on the turn and we both tripped up on the river (obviously had to happen) and I got outkicked in second for 1700. Overall I made about 1450 on the session so I am pretty pleased. Reviewing my logs for the year makes me reconsider my current breakdown of about 85% cash 15% mtt. I have made roughly 10k in cash this year and 11-12k in mtts even though I have only played them a total of 20 days at most. Obviously I am running hotter than the sun in them but even if I won half as much it would still be a really solid amount for the time put in.

This year my mtt profits have come from
3rd in stars 10r for 6.3k
1st in ftp iron man for 2.25k
3rd in 26ko on ftp for 1.7k
2nd in 75fo big double on ftp for 1.7k
4th in ftp 10r for 1.35k
4th in 26ko on ftp for 1.2k

I think I could easily put in as much volume as I have this entire year in about 2-3 weeks if I could commit to doing it. I feel like I won't do it in the end though. I just hate having to play 6+ hour sessions on the regular and never being able to take adequate breaks. Oh well...
