Steps are back!!!

Been playing a little lately... Got rivered by a 2-outer deep in the 24k on Full Tilt yesterday, so that hurt a little bit. Won a seat to the Sunday Million by investing $21 in a turbo rebuy MTT satty on stars, just cashed out the credits though. Played some reg $33 sngs last week, probably 60 to 70 of them, and lost about $200, which I got back yesterday in the 2 mtts I just mentioned. Check out this call I got from a guy in one of the $33s the other day... He took a while to call and wasn't multi-tabling, so I rule out a misclick....

Don't really know what to make out of that... but I do still love the $33s. I'll probably mix in some turbo 6-max with them this week too. Also, the WSOP Steps are running now on stars, and I've made a litte run in them so far. I've invested less than $100 in them and made it to Step 5 tonight, which is pretty good. I have dumped about $150 in other WSOP sattys though, but I'm hoping I'll get lucky and win a seat soon. If so, I'll be taking the money instead of the seat, since they allow that now. If I somehow win more than 1, then I'd consider playing, but I'll worry about that if/when the time comes. Well I'm going to bed now... Peeeeeeeeeace!!!!!
