back from the dead

Man it seems this was the theme all night. I'd get crippled early in a lot of games down to 500 chips in level 2 and then make a huge comeback and win. My night could have really been bad with as many suckouts as everyone was getting. Almost everyone who chased got there whether it was flushes or top pair v/s my overpairs on the flop. But I thought I played very well trying to take advantage of knowing how to play a short stack. Up and down night as well which doesn't help. I had a streak of 5 in a row that put me up almost 300 on the night then lost 6 of the next 7 and it didn't get much better. I finally won 3 in a row to end the night up 1 BI. I got in 39 games which is good. I was ready to call it a night at 22 games when I was so far up and might have had I won a few more games. But I needed to put in the grind tonight. Think I need 125 more games to hit the 10K VPP mark.

Not sure why I'm pressing so hard for it b/c I really think I'm going to try out FullTilt soon. The forums say the Tilt higher stakes games are softer than Stars and you get more games in per hour but prolly a slightly less ROI due to the turbo format and 3 minute blinds. But most players seem to average 12 games an hour 2 tabling Stars and since I've started raising less my games are taking longer and I'm lucky to get 10 per hour. Plus I'd be getting rakeback at Tilt.

If I could make it to the 115s on Tilt and got Ironman I'd be getting about 75K points as well if I traded in medals for points each month. I know it comes out of rakeback buying stuff but I'd be able to get like an Ipod a month or something close to that. I mean what else are you going to do with points there? The store really sucks. I'll prolly buy a hockey jersey cause I'm very close to 1 right now from playing cash games last month and I've wanted one for a couple of years. But I'm not buying 3 jerseys a month LOL! I know WTF would I do with an Ipod a month but I'm sure I could sell them on ebay and still profit a couple hundred. IDK I hate just letting the points build up there cause there just isn't anything else to do with them. I could see for 3-4 months I would have a new camera which I don't really need, a GPS which would be nice but I'd only get it cause there isn't much else, and I'd get a new Ipod. I just spent all my Stars FPPs to get my lil bro a new 160GB Ipod for his new car which hopefully he's getting this week and its supposed to have an Ipod hook up.

I'd get one of the Ipod Touch but living in TN we don't have many WiFi spots so the internet features won't do me much good. The storage is small and I'd really just assume have a 160GB Ipod with all my music and/or videos on there cause I can't see me watching movie or anything on either. So maybe I'd get a camcorder one month as well. I really wish the store was more like Stars but Stars is still the best site IMO and I'm going to miss it if I do leave there. But if I can get 15 games/hour 2 tabling on Tilt I think its a much better deal.

OK enough rambling about the store here were a couple hands from tonight.
Preflop here is loose but he min raised me. I really hate his shove here but we were getting it in either way. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2008952
