Well, it only took 8 days. Much much shorter than I expected, but nonetheless the inevitable occured.
I quit.
My bankroll is at $100, which is fucking pathetic. At this point, I just CANNOT afford to play these games anymore. I risk losing everything that I've worked so hard to attain up to this point. It's just fucking depressing.
I had a good run, I guess.

Sunday Pennies
Starting bankroll: $178.52
Games Played: 3
Current Bankroll: $124.69
Today's Profit/Loss: $-53.83
So today was Sunday...
I had PLANNED to play a full day today to make up for the time I missed earlier in the week, but due to my stupidity in wanting to play in a shitload of Sunday Million sats, as well as the aforementioned custom of playing in the Daily 15k and the Sunday 100k, I was only able to play in 3 6/45s total, none of which I cashed in.
However, I did cash for the first time in the Sunday 100k (though it was like 2200th place for $18), so it marks some sort of progress in my side quest to actually achieve a big score in a MTT.
The first week is officially over, and my goal I believe was to be at $200. Well, obviously you can see that I came up about $70 short of my goal, which makes next week all the more challenging. However, my 22+ tourney cashless streak was something I had yet to experience in these soft 6/45s, so HOPEFULLY I can get some positive variance together and really make a run towards $400 this week.
I don't know if I'll play much or at all tomorrow. The weekend is usually when I catch up on all the TV shows I TiVo-ed earlier in the week but didn't get around to watching (I'm a TV addict, what can I say?), and since I spent my weekend with my parents, I may have to spend all day tomorrow catching up on TV, followed by studying for a big Finance test I have on Tuesday.

This is not going as I had hoped it would...

Stopping The Bleeding/Fixing The Problem?
Starting bankroll: $114.02
Games Played: 3
Current Bankroll: $178.52
Today's Profit/Loss: $64.50
After 20+ games with no cash, I finally broke through again.
I was so sure that I was going to just give up and stop playing for the love of my sanity and bankroll, and I was going to finish the last game up and do just that. However, I managed to make the final table. After that, my goal was just to cash (yeah, I know, scared money). Once I cashed, it was like a huge relief. I could finally play my game without the monkey on my back of going so long without a cash.
It was so surreal. Once I cashed, I knew I was going to win. And win is what I did. I have now won half of the games in which I've cashed, which I honestly think is a pretty reliable statistic, even for such a small sample size.
So, even though I'm not where I want to be, I feel much better about everything. I can rest easy tomorrow (and I seriously am going to try to not play, lol) and enjoy my dad's birthday.
Guess I'll see you guys on Sunday.

Please Let It End
Starting bankroll: $195.522
Games Played: 11
Current Bankroll: $114.02
Today's Profit/Loss: $-81.50
-----------------------------------------
When will it stop? Yet another cashless day, and I'm practically back to where I started. In fact, my net profit is now $17.50. If I don't cash in 1 of the next 3 6/45s, I will officially be back to square 1, after meeting my weekly goal in 1 day.
Just to put it in perspective, I was 0/11 today, 0/3 yesterday, 0/6 Tuesday, and 1/10 on Monday. So I've gone cashless in at least 20 straight tourneys, if you assume my 1 cash on Monday was the last of the day. And I'm 1 for 30 overall on the week, not counting Sunday. That's fucking terrible.
My confidence is really starting to wane. I probably won't play at all tomorrow, and might not on Saturday either. We'll just see how it goes, because I may be busto before I even have a chance to start.
BTW, I've had AA at least once every day this week, and I swear to God I've only one won pot with it. Every other one I lost.
