Tournament/Cash results:
I tried to win my way into the main event by playing the $1,000 satellite but was card dead and had to buy my way in. After busting out of that event I played a little 100/200 to try to get my buy in back. I know I said I wasn't going to play that anymore, especially the night before the main event, but I played anyway and made my lousy $1,000 back.
I got to sleep late that night but not so late that I wouldn't be fresh that day. We started with 20,000 in chips. Things started a little faster then I wanted to but the cards were good and it worked out to a small early lead. I didn't get involved more then I should have but a few hours into the event I got snapped off for 5,000 of my 23,000. It wasn't that big of a deal, I didn't tilt any money off, but from then on I couldn't get any traction. I bleed money and got knocked out 10 hours into the first day.
I went downstairs after that to play more 100/200, maybe I'd get my 10k back like I got my 1k the day before. I didn't really think that but I kind of did. The game looked good, everyone playing passively and calling a lot, but few of my hands held up. With so many people drawing on each hand I was up against a lot of cards. Many people made 2 pair or better by the river. Dropped $5,000 and went home. I decided not to attempt a comeback that night.

The next day I woke up and made the 5k back almost instantly and felt good. Played more later that day or the next (I forget it's been a while now) and lost money back. The last few sessions of February turned out to be slow. I won more money but it wasn't anywhere near the pace of the earlier days. One guy managed to get 11k playing heads up with me. It was funny, I was playing him and a full 6 handed game. I'd fold almost all the hands I got dealt in the full game and only played big hands. Almost all the money I lost to him I won back during the full game.
The last session or two of play was really thin. Not that much action on full tilt and still nothing working on Poker Stars. I haven't played in about a week. The hourly rates I was getting early this month have gone away for now.

Last month I made $20,023.24 online. This month I made $30,490.04 online and played 58 hours for an hourly of $525. The last days really dragged my hourly down. On the 21st my hourly was 3 times higher at $1,500.
This month was 50% better then last but taking into account the $17,400 I lost and all the extra hours I put in at the casino it turned out pretty shitty. I played way more hours at the casino then I did online and all it did was bring all my numbers down.
I'm not sure how much I'll get to play this month. I have some projects I need to get back to and my apartment is a mess. I'll get my shit together first and then start hitting the sites again.
End of Feb final numbers are $13,090.04. Still pretty fuck'n nice!
