Played a few tourneys last night starting at 8. Went deep in a few micro tourneys including 28th or so in the $11 10 min level on Stars, 30th in the 3re on Tilt, also cashed in the 28k on Tilt. Those little cashes basically covered my night.
Highlight of the night was making the final table of the $9.9 360max on Stars. Stack fluctuated a lot in this tourney but I piked up a few chips short handed with 2 tables left after being 8/11ish, going into the ft with a top 3 stack.
This was the bust hand that put me out in 4th, nothing I could do. Made $260 for my efforts.
I was 2/5, with the CL to my left. Pick up QQ in the sb, button is short, shoves about 12 bets, i repop my 20 bets, and the bb, cl, wakes up with KK.
Sunday I'm going to play about 25 tourneys starting around noonish, everything on tilt and stars 26-109fo.

Wednesday Night Poker
Decided to put in a tourney session tonight since I have hockey tomorrow and will be going home on Friday for the weekend. I'll be off til Sunday so I fired up the tables and...
Had a few small cashes...best being 30th in the Stars 10(1+1), 27th in the 3re on Tilt for likeeee 60, and the 28k on Tilt? I think...anyways, got deep in the 32k tonight.
To summarize, the only strong familiar guy at the table, cmoney3, went out in 6th and I held the CL 5-handed which should have had me on cruise control for a HU match. Then I picked up this hand...vs. the worst player at the table and my prejudice against him got to my head and this mistake cost me a lot of dough.

When he fires the second bullet on the turn, I should fold as he is obviously representing a strong hand. There would have been better spots with two short stacks but oh well, live and learn. I've had a sick couple days and I know I'm not going to win every tourney. Just going to keep remembering the mistakes I make ensuring that it doesn't happen again.

Time to Update!
I was just going to give up on this thing but I'll try once more to update it frequently...it could probably keep my game in check. I'd post some hands but if I'm playing I usually have at least 6 tables running and the only way to remember to go back and find hands would be to write down when and where they happened.
Anyways...I'm done with AP for good. I cashed my 50k rp's out and my money. I have another rakeback payment coming for last month which I'll also move. There is no traffic in the micro tourneys nor the sngs...so there is nothing there for me.
Before this weekend...I had been playing ok poker, had one good cash and a bunch of smaller ones that had me well above the positive line.
This past weekend, I played 3 tourneys late Saturday night and none on tilt. One of my favourite tourneys so far since moving over to stars is the $11 1re+1a. I've cash in it several times and this time I took it down. I have been playing well recently and told Kamil on Wednesday of last week that I would take something down Sunday(didn't know I'd be playing Saturday night ;) )I had a ridiculous CL going into the final table and ran it over. I played really well and the cards were coming too.
Sunday I put in a full day with my degen buddy Brent(this guy final tables a tourney every time he fires up a sesh, watch out rankings) who i can credit for the significant improvement I've noticed in my game over the past six weeks. Played probably 20-30 tourneys and got deep in the 9.5KO(which btw, I called I'd take down jokingly when it popped up to start because I was rattled having busted out of two tourneys quick). I took 3rd, losing QJ
I will take screenshots of the lobby's next time for effect haha
