IHOP: How many tables? Were you shortstacking? I was -15bb/100 shortstacking the $4 game over 1500 hands. At that rate, I'd be down $60 to win a $109 entry. $49 for 8 hours of mind-numbing... no, mind-destroying grinding is just not worth it. I had to quit.
Besides, I won one of the $11 sat's so I have my seat for next weak anyway
