No, I'm done for the day. Gotta work on some other things after we eat supper.
Managed to get 23 games in, but it took 3 freaking hours Gah. I know everyones trying to be patient with me, and for that I am grateful. I want to wrap this up as much as everyone invested in it does, trust me. As I said before, I have a lot of money invested in this, and it doesn't do me any good tied up in tickets. Can't very well withdraw tickets lol.
On that note, I DO have a girlfriend I have to answer to, and it's hard for me to justify spending 3 hours grinding out 23 games, when that time could be spent on other endeavors that will put money in the bank.
Just trust, that I have every intention of finishing this in February, since we're getting the extra bonus of RB even if it's only 10%, it'll add some profits.
Good session overall, but I want to post this hand to show how ugly these can be:
Full Tilt Poker Game #32049008045: Step 1 (Super Turbo) (248720533), Table 1 - 25/50 - No Limit Hold'em - 17:49:26 ET - 2013/02/05 Seat 3: Retribution1979 (300) Seat 4: UNHEIMLICH GUT (165) Seat 5: Xx Mysterium xX (1,680) Seat 9: Pokesilc (555) Retribution1979 posts the small blind of 25 UNHEIMLICH GUT posts the big blind of 50 The button is in seat #9 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Retribution1979 [Qs Qc] Xx Mysterium xX folds Pokesilc raises to 100 Retribution1979 raises to 300, and is all in UNHEIMLICH GUT has 15 seconds left to act UNHEIMLICH GUT folds Pokesilc calls 200 Retribution1979 shows [Qs Qc] Pokesilc shows [Tc Ac] *** FLOP *** [4d Jh Jc] (Total Pot: 650, 2 Players, 1 All-In) *** TURN *** [4d Jh Jc] (Total Pot: 650, 2 Players, 1 All-In) *** RIVER *** [4d Jh Jc Jd] (Total Pot: 650, 2 Players, 1 All-In) Retribution1979 shows four of a kind, Jacks Pokesilc shows four of a kind, Jacks Pokesilc wins the pot (650) with four of a kind, Jacks *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 650 | Rake 0 Board: [4d Jh Jc Jd Js] Seat 3: Retribution1979 (small blind) showed [Qs Qc] and lost with four of a kind, Jacks Seat 4: UNHEIMLICH GUT (big blind) folded before the Flop Seat 5: Xx Mysterium xX didn't bet (folded) Seat 9: Pokesilc (button) showed [Tc Ac] and won (650) with four of a kind, Jacks
Like seriously, he had 3 aces or runner runner as outs. So sick this happened
4 step 1's left, then I can focus on playing the step 3's. Also got 3.65 in reserve, so essentially we've actually got 5. Plus over 500 points, so likely I'll be able to buy 1 more ticket before this is over. Oh, and .46 cents rakeback so far lol.

Posted by rbdflyboy: hero to zero in that one.... Good session There's 32 thickets to play out. Do you figure 1 or 2 sessions?
A lot more than 1 or 2. Probably 1 session to finish off the step 1's, and play out a few step 2's.
Maybe 2-3 sessions on the step 2's, depending on how fast they load, and how I run.
The strep 3's is where I'm really worried about time. The last run I did, they took quite a while to load, and while I'm comfortable playing 8 tables, I really don't want to do more than 1 matrix SNG at a time, because they require a bit more "focus" as they are a bit higher up.
All saidthough, I'm confident I'll have this wrapped up before end o feb.
seems like a good way to go....like the idea of buying in short then if you wind up on a heater you can choose whether to cut n run or try some more. Watched 4-5 tbls your last session. The games were good and played solid...lol'd at some comments....it's obvious some don't play these with a strategy in mind. From the way things are shakin out here, looks like a high volume session needs about a 4 hr window to complete. Don't see this happening here...cud wind up in a tail spin on a bad day. Tend more towards the "work smarter not harder" approach. Keep up the good work!

Posted by zeroster: Just logged on to rail you and it looks like you're struggling to get a game.
Yup, sat for around an hr before even 1 loaded.
Cutting it short for now. Lost 4 step 2's, won 1 step 1. So basically it's a loss for the day Between not getting a game for an hr, and retarded calls catching runner runner, im done for the day.
