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.
first off thank you for the good luck wishes also mate those 100ks are tricky ones and placing in top 500 is impressive from a 20k+ feild is impressive no matter how small the win. 
best ive done in one of those was 9th for like 15 and change. was really dissapointed with my FT performance. good job and good luck screwin stars and turning that buck into a million!!!!!!!
, Ak worked perfectly for u here , guess we'll see u at the final table
