$T Exhausted

Well I zipped through those T$162, and I'd say it went pretty well. I had no success in MTTs, but I did alright in SnGs and won just about every HU match I played.
I'm back over $300, and I'm pretty convinced that finding the right satellites is the best way to build back up the BR. I can't really afford the $36+3 sats to the $215 that I love so much. We'll see what happens.

I have money stuck on Party Poker that I'm not sure what to do with. It's just like $16, but they won't accept my wagers. It's less than the minimum Neteller amount (plus, my Neteller account is mysteriously defunct). So I'm trying to figure out how to just get that money back, let it amount to a couple free $8 dinners.
I got reminded about the money when PP emailed me to say they'd withdrawn a $5 maintenance fee because I'd left my account dormant for so long. That's such a fucking stupid policy. You're not going to have customers return after long stays away from the game if they're coming back to less money than they had before.
It just has a shady feel to it.
Anyway, I spit out a quick email to 'em and you can bet I got that $5 back.

Thepokerdb.com has expanded a ton since I've been there. I haven't registered a score on there since February. That's crazy.
Well no on the PokerStars side anyway. On the Bodog side I ITM'd an MTT a couple days ago. 27 paid; I finished 27th. But that's not so bad, I was card dead as hell. Plus, early I went through a 45-hand stretch where I didn't win once. So it was pretty nice to come through with anyting to show for it.

Update: I was playing a $12+1 6-handed SnG while I wrote that entry and ended up getting heads up. We both started with 40+ BBs, so there was a lot of play. I knew early that I was being really predictable, and so he got an accurate read on me pretty quickly I think. I started slowly changing my game hand by hand, and by the final two hands, he had no clue what I was doing.
See?
