Deep run might be on its way in the Bounty Builder $7.50 - already secured a minimum of $90 (cash + rewards from booty hunting) 
Lets get another FT ♠_drink:
Finished 5th in the Builder - out of 6.500 entries 
+$690 in cash and booties
Could have gone better at the FT, but all in all i am really pleased with my play at the moment. Pretty sure 3 finale tables in one week is my new personal record. Hopefully I can milk even more out of my rungood in the weekend. Gonna put in some high volume to try milking it

That's a sick fold. I never seen that before

Right when it happened I was almost afraid getting my account frozen, because it really looks like collusion. Then again, maybe not the best spot to collude with UTG opening, but you never know 
I would never collude, but really nice way to win a little pot. Will give the guy a beer if I ever see him
Really happy with the volume I am putting into poker at the moment, and on top of that the results are also good right now. Hopefully it will continue a little bit, after I had a long a** period of runbad

Usually I believe my mindset is great when it comes to poker, but this hand proved to me that I still have some leaks in that mindset. Bad beats doesnt tilt me, losing against bad players doesnt tilt me, losing hands deep in MTTs doesnt tilt me - but when you combine all these factors in one hand... then yes, I can get a bit triggered

So close, yet so far away...
After my 2 previous fantastic weeks, I were looking forward to continue my hot run, but it didn't work out too good in the beginning of the week, with a lot of suck outs, bad beat and a return of my old enemy - the tilts 
When the weekend grind began I had to sit down, clear my head and construct a gameplay that I had to stick to, in order to get my mind away from the bad beats and not care about them, as I usually am pretty good at. This worked and I finally hit a really deep run again - this time in the Bounty Builder $16.50 - Saturday Special. Unfortunately, I were really short stacked out through the whole middle phase of the tourny, meaning I didn't had many chances at picking up bounties, which is a huge disadvantage in these Saturday Specials where 75% of the prizepool is paid in bounties. When we got down to 3-4 tables, I finally began building a stack and things looked good, until my JJ lost against AT for a 2.5mil chipleader stack + a bounty worth almost $200 
To make it even worse I ended bubbling the FT, finishing 10th out of 3.150 runners and cashing for about $200. Could have beaten my personal best score by ending top 2, but it wasnt meant to be this time.
