Well you know I'd be lying if I said I was thrilled and you're right, you should have asked before you played cash. No cash from now on.
I'm in DC for a medical appt so will ship when I get home.
Be advised that Maryland is one of the states where PS shut down checks so me getting money on is hampered right now. I'm going to try to find someone on 2p2 I can send money on paypal and they can ship me on Stars.
Stick to the plan, man. Maybe you should wear a rubber band and snap your wrist every time you want to spew off.

eah, STTs sound like the way to go then, and I have any belief you are telling the truth. It tends to go this way sometimes, you just can't win no matter what you hold.
By my calculations (based on amount transfered from me to you - amount transfered from you to me - the $500 of the new stake that you just got) this puts on you 113.76 into MU. Let me know if your figures come out any different.
Technically this is the last week of the stake as well, right? We should probably talk about that too.
GL today and the rest of the week. STTs and SGNs, man. MTTs are just too high variance for a small roll.

i played a set of 6max and in one i had a huge chip lead but had to race a couple of times and lost them both, then unfortunately ran AKs into A5o...i'm convinced stars either rigs it or it's just a flaw but the bigger ace almost always loses for me...as soon as i saw his 5 i had a gut feeling it would hit the flop and it did

I had the chip lead today in the $8 turbo, the big one that pays about 4K with 60 left...mp guy shoves 8bbs, call by CO, I shove TT, CO folds, lose to QJo, then I shoved AQo and ran into KQs to my chagrin...that's the only one i was able to cash in....except for a min cash in the 4c, and i only min cashed coz i stopped paying attention to it and timebanked late
I had a really rough go of it this week i think i made a mistake in a couple places, but for the most part i just either got no cards, or lost to a worse hand
I think i'm going to only play one set per day of tourneys and go back to playing stt's full time, I feel very comfortable and in control in those and right now i'm feeling lost in mtt's...they are treaturous...i made about 250 in stt's this week but lost all of that and more in mtt's

We should check the histories then, I had you at $1500. The original $400, but you withheld $100 in my profits from the first week so that was a full $500, then two full $500 reloaded. I had you a full 1k in MU.
Per my PS transfer history, I have:
12/14 400 to you.
12/13 150.50 to me. Obviously the date is off there for some reason.
12/20 & 12/29 $500 to you.
If this doesn't tally with your figures let me know.

Per my PS transfer history, I have:
12/14 400 to you.
12/13 150.50 to me. Obviously the date is off there for some reason.
12/20 & 12/29 $500 to you.
If this doesn't tally with your figures let me know.
