Ended up shipping this 45 man 1.50$ buy in just now. total of 19.00$ won and a profit of 17.50$
Was down 65k to my 14k at one point and played some smart aggressive poker to overcome chip leader and out play him badly in the final few hands to take this one down. !
I almost took down a 45 man 3.50$ earlier but down to the final 5 and a guy hit's a flush against my A K which paired. Would have been massive chip leader but suck out hurt. still made like 9$ profit but could have been so much more.
Hopefully a sign of better outcomes. Has been a very rocky up and down all day and am up maybe 12 or 13$ so far. Can't seem to really get any momentum to upping the BR much and has stayed pretty much where I was. I guess it's better than losing it, I don't think this way but the optimist would.
Good luck mobbers and may the table gods be on your side.

Congrats mate. Of course it's better than loosing. Sometimes it seems we tend to get more greedy and undervaluate our conquests. What you achieve was reaaly great, it's not every day that one of us beats a 45 SnG. Ok, it was with a low buy-in, the $3.50 one didn't went that well. But don't think about the money. Keep looking at your results like a game as any other game. You will win again tomorrow and in the next day and only in the future you will realize "i won some good bucks playing poker". You can't want to live all the emotions at once, thats euromillion lotery and its a shot in the dark. Keep up the good work mate!

Congratulations. The prize isnt that great but the buy in was only 1.5 so no that bad. I believe that hitting the first place makes it worth even more. Now you have more buy ins for such games. It is better staying at the same height for some time, than going up and down.
