Today was a glorious day. For one, IM OUT OF THE RED! :D:D:D:D woooohooooo!!!!

anyways, onto the sng summaries. first one was mediocre, got caught with KK vs QJ early and went busto when the flop showed a Q, i shoved, he called, turn comes a J. oh well, it happens. sng #2 was soooo freaking looonnnngg. on the bubble, i was in a bad position for a while with about 800~ chips, with other stack sizes around 4.5k, 3k, and 2.5k. eventually, i managed to bring it up to about 1.7k, outlasted 4th, busted 3rd, and with a dominating chip stack, i slaughtered 1st about two hands later. but this was after about 45-60 min of bubble play (felt that long at least). very stressful stuff when youre constantly on the verge of getting knocked out of the money, but I will say, winning that sng was the best feeling EVER.

sng #3 was so-so. i played a little too lightly, both in terms of cards, and aggressiveness, and i got punished for it.

sng #4 was pretty dangerous. i was still playing a little too lightly, but after losing 300~ chips, i started tightening up to a solid game again. for a bit near the early-early/mid tourney, all i could think about was that i didnt want to go 1:3 for today, and just break even, so I took myself out of a couple hands, cleared my head, and came back refreshed. mid-late game was a little funny. there were three people on one side of the table, and three on the other, and for the most part, the opposite side only had around ~1k in chips per person. ironically though, the tall stack at the table was playing hyper aggressively, and got punished once by a mid stack, for about half his chips, and then i delivered the coup when my a9 hit top pair on a aqx board. he had k7. eventually, the bubble burst, and i KO'd 3rd place(forgot the hand), and the resulting HU was another battle of endurance, much like sng #2. for the most part, I kept a slight lead, but eventually, it got down to a point where our stacks were exactly even, and in position, i look down to see kjo. so i raise, and the guy shoves all in. before this hand, he had been pretty liberal with his shoves, perhaps pushing maybe 20-25% of his hands, so i kinda suspected that a decent number of his shoves were probably light, maybe K6+, Q7+, etc, so i decided to call. turns out he had TT in this instance, but a K on the flop with no competition from the turn or river sent me rejoicing.

Hopefully from here, it's all uphill, so until tomorrow, farewell, and good luck.
