Long time, no see

Hi, again. Haven't seen for a long time. Spent some time studying for exams(last year in school now) and poker was at second (or 3rd?) place. Now I decided to start grindin' as I did my maths exam and on the top of that i need money for the summer =). I hope i'll start this weekend with 180-man SNG's at PokerStars, and maybe a couple of big-field MTT's per day. I'm starting with 400 bucks - most likely to play 2,20 (turbos) and 4,40 (normal) 180-man and up to 5.50-11$ MTTs. I also talked to Marticha and he's going to help me remove some leaks after the first 100-200 tourneys. I reaaaaaaly hope to make a good sample till the start of SCOOP, but we'll see.

Oh, and in the past months I was running pretty bad. I cashed out for the UO and then fell into a big downswing. I managed to win a freeroll satellite for EMOP Lisbon and a 2nd place in the 10k gtd but I was still in a bad shape.

for the live events:
i really enjoyed playing in a huge tourney and actually i started really well in the UO.
starting stack was 10k and with very aggressive play i was up to 13k at the first break, than i flopped set 7s and guess if i had my aggro image paid me off. So I was up to 20k at the dinner break. However, after that everything had gone wrong. I started losing and losing hand after hand when the villains were just catching their outs on the turn/river. I was down to 5k at 200/400/50 and bluffed on 3 streets running on quads. Pretty nice to be trapped by some random donk (who was check/calling me OOP 3 streets with fd and caught runner runner trips to beat my pocket 9s an hour before) =/. In Portugal I really had a nice holiday. However, in the ME I was busto again little before the end of day 1. Took a little break on the next day and in the final day I registered for the final side event (150+15, 120 players, 13 itm). I made a nice 6th place for €1k-ish after a really sick bad beat at the final table - QQ lost to TJo after allin preflop - but I am really happy of my performance. I played almost perfectly, made just one mistake and it wasn't really painful.

OK, that turned out to be very long so I' stop now and I hope I'll show you some really nice graphs after several weeks =).
