i think even with MS MTTs during the week a 50k roll is suicide. ive seen so many -10k months from huge winners.. i wouldnt risk it

Really? Hmm... I might have couple dollars there as well... 
this year's are not so important. make sure you've redeemed all the 2010 ones... i'm not sure if they'll be around after new years.
Hey mate, best of luck finding a backer. If I had a nice wedge of money to spare I wouldn't think twice ♦ Curious, you anywhere near BM? Think you'll hit it 2012 or is not something you're all that fussed about?
Also wondering, do you by any chance have any fairly generic tips you'd give to someone wanting to give STT's a serious shot, starting from micro-low stakes? Or similarly, is there anything now looking back you wish you knew when you were first starting out with STT's and what advice would you give yourself back then if you could?
Thanks for any answer and happy holidays! ♦

Wise words, thanks
not really fussed. im not even close to BM. only got like 150k SPs lifetime. maybe one day would be a cool achievement, but there isnt really a benefit to getting BM, just a title.
Played a session with a very competent reg at the 30s yesterday. We had a lot of fun with some meta. I think I won the reg battle. I ran pretty good though.

May I ask?
Why did you call the shove in the first hand?
What were you thinking when calling the flop in the 2nd hand?

Pretty easy flop call in 2nd hand, against limp/stab we usually have 10 outs(even if he has Q we still have 7 outs) and we have position, also he can have tons of draws in his range as well which we're ahead of.
Lol @ last hand

he would lead the first hand with most pairs. even if he c/shoves 6 or 7x ive still got a shitload of outs. im only in big trouble against higher Ax with a higher spade, but i block those combos.
