Tournaments are sooo frustrating. I'm planning to spend one day playing tournaments per week, and that day was last night. Entered about 15 tournaments all in all, some $4/180s and the rest larger Mtts. I cashed in a few, played pretty well in most of them too - i was happy with my play anyway.
I played in the $3 re-buy and came 17th. It took over 8 hours, so the hourly is pretty poor :P, but i played pretty near perfect poker for most of it. I got from 30k in chips to 1.3 million over the course of a few hours. At no point did i have all my chips in without having the other guy drawing dead. With 19 left i ran my QQ into a guy's AA, he'd been three betting a lot and i was to his left so 4bet him from the BB when he'd 3bet the button. Sucks, because the tournament is so top heavy in the payout structure.
Never mind, I'm sure i'll make another large final table soon.
Cash is on the up slightly. I've changed the times i play to early mornings and i've found a different player base to the one i've usually played against. I'm still down over $800 in all in EV, but i know its not going to suddenly close the gap. Unfortunately I'm going to be away this sunday and then all of the weekend after, so that will reduce the profitable time that i have to play in for the rest of the month. Thankfully though, I'm now up for the month across the two sites with tournies included, and am soon going to be able to buy the $800 SN bonus.
