Taking a step back from cash, back to MTT's

Well my run could last so long without losing too much in the cash games. I lost about 150 on Stars and another 150 on Tilt, on separate occasions. I was playing a little outside my roll, but I kept the losses manageable, especially given I made 700 in a week. I decided to withdraw the earnings from grinding cash. I have been working less hours, and pretty much could use the money. It sucks to take the hit to the roll, but then again, better than not having the money at all.

Well after I withdrew the money on Stars is when I lost the 150 on Tilt. I got coolered at a deep NL25 table for 200BB's and shot the rest off at a 3/6 Stud 8/b table. Suddenly down to 6 bucks, and 40 T$. Ummm, woops. So I took that money and have been playing the Stud 8/b tournaments each night. I played 3 10+1's the past few nights and just played in the 24+2 2K Guar (had a token). I cashed in all four, and now have 310 with 24 T$. I know I have been needing to play more Stud tournaments, but this is ridiculous. My stats have got me mind boggled, and I keep improving on them. A 300% ROI is somewhat difficult to maintain, but as long as I keep doing what I've been doing, I'm going to be freerolling in the 1500 WSOP Stud 8/b tournament.

Overall, I need to put more volume in, at least play in two or three stud tournaments daily. Not many run daily, but if I can find one with more than a 100 runners, I should have no problem getting my PLB score over 300 by mid year.
