Wow it feels good to finally win a session. I also realized that my win rate is 6bb/100, so I shouldn't be that worried about that humongous ass down slope, just running kinda bad and not like god mode where it'd be like set over set or top two vs bottom two in the first 4k hands.
I cleared my Stars $150 bonus today, feels nice. I'm going to wait til my withdrawal limit (I recently cashed out a small portion) clears and take out $750, $150 from bonus and $600 from the deposit FOR the bonus.
I played in four $10 MTTs today, and cashed in two for $25 and $60. So earned a small profit, I finished 82nd in a $30k gtd, I ran perfect (all my hands held up) and I lost on this hand:

My thoughts on it: The guy who flatted from the small blind was really tight and doing really well as well, never seemed to be making a move but just always had the goods. He was like 20/19 and stole quite a fair bit and played pots only when he came in raising or calling an all-in. His flat seemed really weird.
Anyways I have KK and I bet just enough to put the short stack all in and maybe let him hero call with a random pp but then supreamdream tanks for a while and c/rai. It made me say WTF!!! I'm pretty sure he does not have a jack in his range a lot of the time, as he'd probably reraise it preflop or just fold it.
So basically: He has AA or QQ. I thought about it a really long time and it turns out I'm not good enough to lay down KK and he shows AA of course. I think I have to fold here in the future, cause this guy is never bluffing. He either has AA or rarely some weird type of Jx that he plays oop?? I do not think he would take this line with QQ as it'd surely be turning it into a bluff and he knows I'm a pretty tight player too. Soooooo FUCK!
School starts next week on the 20th for me, and I need to work every weekday this week except Wednesday from like 11-2 each day at my mom's place since one of her employees or something decided to quit. I'll be making like $13 an hour so it's pretty nice and will give me some disposable income where I don't have to withdraw from poker to get. Still waiting on my Cake Poker check for $2200 or so, gonna be checking the mail all week this week.
Forgot to mention on Friday was girlfriend's birthday so I went with her and some friends. We went to a Lebanese cuisine place, didn't really care much for the food it's too exotic. The restaurant was known for its hookah though, so we tried some. It was really fun though at first it seemed to burn my throat a little but it's still cool. I think I only like it cause exhaling the smoke looks so cool.
I think I'm getting the hang of MTTs now... every Sunday I'll be playing in a couple $10s and see how I do. I realized I used to suck when I kept trying to make moves when the field is so soft I don't even need to... so just nit it up or make a steal every now and then and you'll be good I used to try and get cute and 3 bet shove resteal and of course the fish don't care you're 3 betting or what you're repping and snap off with Ax.
Also I raped some reg today where I kept 3 betting him in position and showed a couple 3 bet bluffs and he did not know how to adjust at all and kept 4 betting me light when I had like AK/QQ+ and he'd have to fold to a 5 bet or would c/f to a cbet. He got up and left soon. Also I got paid off pretty nicely as it seemed I was super 3 bet bluffy or something but after a while I just caught a string of premium hands and got paid off quite nicely, ended up like 500bbs on the table after stacking someone here
