Last couple of days i've grinded satellites hard. Got heads up in two $30+R WSOP satellites, obviously neither tournament had enough rebuys to award a package, so i only got $650 for those. That pretty much sucked. Then I made the final table of a $11+R 2xTurbo Satellite, and came 6th after making a dumb mistake with two tables left. Last night I came 8th in a $30+R Satellite which actually did have a package to win. I made a pretty marginal shove to bust, one which if i'd been more awake/playing better I wouldn't've made. So that pretty much sucked. Pretty tempted to play in the $650 satellite tomorrow, we'll see if i win entry into it today. :)
Apart from the occasional blip, i'm very happy with my game at the moment, so i'm hoping it's just a matter of time before i win one. I am registered for the 150 seat guarantee on full tilt/200 seat on stars and the team moneymaker tourny thing. So maybe i'll just win all of those.

Won A Donkament
So ya, I won a donkament. $24+$2 on full tilt, 1,280 runners, ~$7k for winning. Ship ship. About time, i've had a long dry spell in donkaments, exacerbated by the fact i hardly play them anymore. I've requested the hand history from full tilt, and will prob post some interesting hands here once i get it. Woop woop.
Besides my $12k PCA package win, this is my biggest online win, and i feel it's deserved. My game has come on an incredible amount in the past few months, but i hadn't felt it was showing in my results.

SnGs suck
so ya, I just remembered that SnGs suck. 
small sample size etc etc yadda yadda yadda. But DAMN. This is pretty much all $22 btw. Been a while since I played many STTs, and i'll prob get bored/frustrated soon. If not though, the plan is to look at my ROI after 1000, and if it's solid, move up to $33s and repeat. I might not wait as long as 1000, cos i'm deffos a lifetime winner at $55s on party, and I think $77s/$109s too :S. With party's capped rake thing, I want to give myself the option of playing high stakes STTs once the STT volume on party picks up, because the capped rake potentially means up to $500 extra profit per tournament for the highest stakes available. And that's huge.

zOMG an update!
so, it's been a while since i actually updated this thing. I have still been playing teh poka. Until the start of May, cash was going steady, and had a couple of decent sessions back at $200nl. Then withdrew a bunch for bills etc, and must've suffered a cashout curse. Until, well, today, I have not been able to win a hand in May, and am suffering the most prolonged bad run I can recall. It included I think, 3 10+ buy in downswings at $100nl (with me nearly recovering after each one). It's knocked my confidence pretty low.
I have withdrawn all my online moneys to my poker bank account, except for $1k on party. Where cash is concerned, I am going to stay at $50nl for a while to rebuild bankroll a bit, and more importantly confidence. So far I have put in ~2.5k hands, and because it's may, went 6 buy ins down before pulling back to +1 buyin.
Fortunately, as a break from cash I have played some STTs, and am running super hot in them and have made $500 in the last couple of days. Also played 2 MTTs, but they were a bust.
My PTY roll is currently on $1505.80. I'd be quite happy if every week i can continue to grow this by 50%.
Sadly, a corollary of having such a bad month is that it looks unlikely now that i will be able to go to vegas this summer. I had planned on killing May and having a couple of k in online cash to blow on satellites. Oh well, there'll be EPTs and PCA etc.
My immediate aims right now are to get to crushing $200nl/$400nl and get a $20k roll so i can actually buy straight into the sunday donkaments each week, instead of looking for a stake.
