Jurollo · #1 02-28-2006, 03:43 PM

Well this contest started with 9 brave souls and pulling into the final gate we have a race for first betwene ZBThorton, and LearnedFromTV with Bestcellar and myself, WPThero within striking distance with an incredible day. The bar is set to 2766.58 from ZBT with LearnedFromTV having another spot to fill in his top 20. If you feel like sweating them their screen names on Stars are:
LearnedFromTV - Entropy_xx
ZBThorton - ZBThorton1

I will also be marathonning these to try to swoop in a steal the glory from these two chaps and my screen name is WPThero. I will be starting a March 180/20 thread later tonight as well, same contest, different month. Goodluck all, $225 to the winner and lots of pride!

I e-mailed Stars and asked them for my SNG history for this month and realized I began a 180 man at 11:54 EST the last day in January that I finished 5th in...lol

I only have 2039 points from my top 20. I am not extremely happy with my results from this month. My best finishes were 2,2,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,13,13,16,16,18,,19,19,19,2 0,20.

It is absolutley unreal how many times I busted out in the 20-35 range. About half of my finishes are over 35. To be honest, I think that I started going on 180 man tilt at some point this month. Once it gets down to about 30 people left, I either would take a bad beat, or make some moronic steal attempt or horrible play that would get picked off (like restealing with J5o or something). I think I would basically go on tilt when it got closer to the money. I honestly think that I just played too many of these things (about 100). That is a LOT for me in a month. I think I tried too hard at times, instead of just relaxing and playing my normal game. Or, I would not try hard enough, because it seemed like there was always another one going anyway. Oh well, lesson learned. I need to remained focused at all times.

Last night, I got around the money with about 10K or more in chips 3 times, and I bubbled in all 3 of them. In one of them, I was in 4th place, had been playing really well, and then just lost focus for a second and busted.

I need to calm down when I go far, and take it down. I am pretty sure that I can do better than this. We'll have to see in March!

Anyway, I need to do some work today, so I won't be able to play for a little while, unless I slack off which is entirely possible. Barring some unbeleivable night (that I know isn't even possible), I am out of this competition. It's been fun, and good luck to everyone!

Edit: BTW, I am not complaining or trying to make excuses here. I didn't do horribly. At least I made money doing this (although not much)! But, I know I can do better, and I was just sort of typing out my frustrations with myself. So, thanks for listening.
