2nd win slips away again

Well....Comcast is not to blame this time....just a little runner runner. I have continued to play to 1$ MTTs since my last post...but more on that a little bit. Make my 5th final table sitting in about 3rd place out of 8 people. First hand I run into AA.....I raised in EP with KQ off and got priced in. No suck out....so ended up being a big hit to my stack right off the bat. So looking like im bout to bust out 8th for like 16$....ughhhh......Get a good spot to drop when its folded to me in the SB and I drop with Q9 hearts and BB calls with A10 off. I hit runner runner for a straight and get back in it. Hang around as some more players bust out till there is 4 left. Im the lowstack at the table so Im looking to pick a spot. Get folded to in the SB again where I pick up 33. I just drop to give myself the best chance to steal the blinds...( I dont want to raise a little to get dropped in and call my stack off with 33...I prefer to make the move.) Get called by K10 hearts....I flop my set with one heart on the board. I guess I celebrated too early cuz the turn was another heart and you can just guess what the river was. Busted out in 4th place for 45$. 3rd was like 60$, 2nd-95$, and 1st-150$. I really wanted top 2...but just got unlucky.

But since mid August...thats all I have done is play 1$ MTTs. Im trying to do proper bankroll management. It sucked at first....cashing and making 26 cents and shit...but I have turned 1$ into 77$ since and made 2 final tables. So Im kinda starting to enjoy it, so im gonna stick with it. I have now set a goal with this. It might take years to do this, but fuck it...why not. Im gonna try and conquer every level of MTTs on Stars till I finally work my way up to be able to go at the 150+12's( so were talking about having $7,500 in my account.) So once I get up to $100 off the 1$MTTs....Then it will be time to go at the 2$MTTs. Pretty much when I get up to 50 buy-ins for the next level, I step up. This might be totally out of reach.....but I dont care.....Im tired of going broke and this is the best way to keep a bankroll and just build it up. (I think) I will probaly try to keep track of this through the blog...but well see.
