well i was hoping to have better news to report at break but the last little bit has been a down swing but down swings are to be expected in long mtt's even downswings that were probably avoidable if i could resist suited connectors sometimes lmfao....
81 left im in 35th (its not 2nd but its in so im happy ) so only 27 to go to ITM.
my stake is sitting at $16,384 and i havent really moved much since for lack of a better word donking off some chips.

Yeah I saw it. Couldn't see your cards of course but it looked like you stepped on the gas a little too early. Especially the hand where you took on the chip leader.

Well congrats on your 2 2 $ , and I hate to be the one telling u this , but u played this tournament so badly , I've been following u all the way , at one point you were chip leader , with only 100 something to go , and then u started throwing your chips away , calling all-ins with A J , on a 4 2 8 flop , I mean wtf ? calling re-raises pre flop with 5 6 and stuff like that , you could've gone all the way in this tournament , instead u decided to play all sorts of crappy hands , and almost didn't get ITM....

even tho bot killed me it was me playing the QJ and doubling bbs AK which was my downfall and the reason i lost. would not have been put in the situation i was to get botted if i had short stacked myself. always your own fault just gotta figure out where ya fcked up

Yup , I'm just glad u can accept a litle criticisim, and I agree totally , that 3 6 hand all in is pretty damn suspicious , all u can do now is get a decent sleep , and try again tommorow , sooner or later you'll crack a big win , oh and btw , once I received an email from pstars , telling me they refunded some $ due to the fact that some persons using illegal methods , and basically cheated me , but they didn't give any more details and said that it's useless to email them about the subject.
