Put half my points in $26 tourney tickets and got out ~$600 - that's more than twice than what they would have gone for at the 2+2 marketplace, so I'm happy about that. Now I'll grind some 25NL for the $500 deposit bonus on Absolute.
I'm making a radical change in my quitting decisions. I'm no longer trying to grind a certain amount of hours, but I'll base my quitting decisions on how much better/worse it will make me feel to win/loose some more. I was going to grind 2 sessions today, but after the first one I was up $450. It won't make a big difference for me if I double that, but it will suck if I play another five sng's without cashing, so I quit.
My level of happiness/content this year hasn't been proportional to the amount of cash I had. The times I was most stressed out this year was when I had ~30k-ish to my name, and the point where I felt best was when it looked like I was going to be confirmed busto really soon. Not because money makes me sad, but because I had a shift in priorities. If I can pay my rent, get good food, drive my car, go climbing, get laid, play drums, suck at starcraft, go paragliding... then I'm good. I don't need to make 6 figures a year to get to do that. Every cent over the minimum won't raise my quality of life by a lot, but the stress involved in trying to get there might make me misarable. I don't need to put numbers on that to see that those are shit odds.
Tomorrow I'll start to get my grind on at 25NL. If any micro grinders want to sweat me, hit me up on IRC or skype. I'll post a thread in the BC as well.
