Oh you beat me to it.
If you are playing well then itl be silly to stop playing them if you are just getting unlucky...
Back tonight and tried a super sat for the £16k BH and finished 9th with 5 seats

Itching to go, full update later
If so, great acheivement so far, and now you got a roll where if you don't do anything crazy you should never need to deposit again. WP
Ty for the advice about sticking at the DYMs Jac and gazza......the problem is that my confidence is easily shattered so if I lose 2 on the bounce then I automatically expect to lose the next one and so on. I shouldn't think like that but I can't help it haha.
Lambert, thankyou for your kind words. Yes it is from the £50, I had built up as high as £480 but have hit a sticky patch of late. Not too concerned though as it is just how it goes when playing mtts. I will never go crazy with my BRM again after already learning that lesson the hard way. Certainly don't intend on having to ever deposit again (but I never did last time either haha). Have been a constant reader of your diary and your recent blogs.......wish you all the best mate!!
Right, last night.
As I had already posted, I managed to sat into the £16K BH, the first main I had played in weeeeeeks so was really looking forward to it......until I saw my table draw. Tommyd and macmonster.....not ideal. I got off to a reasonable start though and even took an early head prize after Tommyd had won a big pot leaving the oppo with just 120 chips, I had AK in the next hand and took the bounty. I never built up a stack of more than 6k though and even though I had position on tommy, I avoided playing to many pots with him (he is just too good for me).
One key hand was when I managed to iso the 2 short stacks on the table whilst I was holding A10s.....happy days. One the players in particular was pretty much atc and wouldn't fold any pair so I had a great chance of a double bounty if I hit. The flop was 6 A 9.......that'll do so I bet enough to set them in and they both obliged with J6 and 26. So I'm like "no 2 no j no 2 no j....".......down comes the case 6 on the river!!! ouch! Anyway I ended up busting in around 120th with £45 in head prizes so a bit of profit from the £6 in sats.
I played for too many all in sats for the £4k and £1.5k BHs......prob about £18 worth!
Only other success' came in a £250 BH
BR = £388.25
I have decided to end this diary for a number of reasons.
1. I feel it has run its course and is having no benefit to me at the minute. I started it as a kick up the backside when I went bust and wanted to use it to ensure I maintained good BRM.
2. It has worked as I now have a healthy roll which allows me to grind the mtts.
3. I have learnt my lesson as far as BRM is concerned.
4. I'm finding more and more that I CBA to write the same stuff over and over again "Played X.....won X or lost X"
If I ever go broke again (which is certainly not the plan) then I may start again as it was a good way to help me re-focus on the game........but as long as I stick to good BRM I will hopefully never be writing a diary again!!!
Thanks to all who contributed and gave me words of encouragement when I was feel pretty down with poker!!
Gl at the tables all..........OUT!!!

Good luck going forward
