Remember my reference to “the Jimmy Stewart thread” a week or two ago? [Here it is](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=433062&page=1&pp=50). Still makes me laugh out loud. ---

Got 6/313 in the $1 NL Freezeout tonite, $14.06 for that. So $32 profit over 2 tourneys on the real money games, that’s way better than the freerolls. ---

[QUOTE=Oslo Ostragoth] The standings for the quarter: 9 Yeticus Rex 19.2 Three games left if anyone wants to make a move. [/QUOTE] I think I need to assassinate the whole leaderboard to make any move this quarter. ☹ Last night…would you believe this bit of crap…I was in 4 separate 10-seater SnG’s and I came in 4th every single time…for a total of $0…missing the top 3 payout spots. ☹☹ ---

I stayed close to break-even for the first few levels, survived a few desperation moves and finished third. It was a miracle I was in the money. What was the deal last night? Every time I had a hand, you all folded. I slow-played a flush; nothing. Is there some meme going around that I never bluff? ---

Oslo was gonna post a screen cap of the results, not sure if he ever got it hosted but he should have the cap saved. I know where I finished 😃 And yeah, Missy got a bad beat put on her to go out 10th in the $1. Her exit enabled me to advance into the money, but I didn’t make it much deeper. 2 Dopers in the final table was pretty cool though. ---

[/QUOTE] How many tournaments do you enter that you don’t post about? It seems like you cash every time. I don’t know how you do it. I’ve tried a few freerolls; cashed once, and it took a couple hours and some good luck. I think I made $1.50. I’ll have to try one of those cheap freezeouts sometime. ---

I jumped into $1 SnG and got 2nd for $2.70 last night…took only 25 minutes. ---

[/QUOTE] I cash about 1 out of 5 or 6 of the money tourneys, a lot less than that in the freerolls. Still, those 4 or 5 losses can eat your stack up. After I passed the $50 mark, I entered a $5, a $3 a couple of $2 and a couple of $1 and won zilch. But right before that I cashed in back to back tourneys (not back to back the same night, but consecutive tourneys I entered). Last night was the first cash I’d had in 5 previous trys. And I did sort of post about the ones I didn’t win, back when **Oslo** told me to turn my AIM on when I was playing I posted “It’s on” or something a couple of times. When I didn’t come back in full gloat, that’s when I didn’t cash 🙂 ---

I should add in the interest of full disclosure: Shit. I woke up face down on my keyboard in a puddle of my drool very late in the night. I have to find a way to reconcile poker night with early and long work days.
