Have been coasting along getting 5-6k vpps happily for the last month or two which only takes about 3-4 hrs a day, but yesterday turned out to be a masssive grind thanks to a last minute decision to enter the UK RCOOP main event as there was a bit of overlay, despite not feeling great. 12hrs later i was almost at the final table and 15k VPPs nearer to the goal. It just finished in unspectacular fashion, coming 5th for 9k but i cant complain too much as i basically won zero big pots on day 2 and laddered from 10th to 5th by stealing to stay alive, before losing all-in as the short stack, and that was about my eqiity at the start of the day. Ive had quite a few MTT results like this in the last couple months but the luck is unfortunately eluding me at the end or in the biggest events. Its going better than the previous months though and ive enjoyed playing MTTs again for the first time in ages, so thats progress at least i guess!

As for the SNE chase im on 920k now, which is almost on pace for the year overall. There is a thread dedicated to the subject on 2p2 and a lot of people seem to be losing their minds at this stage playing smaller stakes with further to go. I havent minded it too much as its been keeping me busy and i havent had to push myself really, and 6-700 hrs in a year isnt exactly a full time job. I cant imagine spending any longer on it though, and am looking forward to getting back to cash games soon. Hopefully will be there around xmas weekend.
