The Bump Up Race

Alright. I'm going to officially start me quest of increasing my Bankroll enough to bump up a level for SnGs. My bankroll started at $200 on PStars and $150 on FTP. The plan is playing a bunch of $3 + .40 SnGs and .25/.50 LHE on PS and $3 + .30 Turbo Knockouts on FTP.

Days 1-3:

So I am doing really well on PS. I'm playing batches of 4 of these at a time, then taking a break. I only lost all 4 twice and all the other times win at least one of them. I'm up to $300 on PS.

FTP Donkaments have cursed me. I get aces cracked about 50% of the time because nobody folds. QQ gets set a ton, and AKs loses to 9Ts and KK all in on an AAT rainbow flop (running hearts for 9T to scoop). That's right, 95% favorite 3 ways and lose. I finally broke the curse and took 4th with a few bounties. Still about breakeven at $150 on FTP.
