                  Guilty as charged! Today I can rightfully admit I was what they call a "Rebuy Monkey".  Usually I don't utilize this style of play, only for smaller buy-in tournaments, and when I do it usually doesn't take that many buy-ins to build a nice stack for after the rebuy period ends.  Today was a different story, I spent a whopping 6 rebuys in the $85k guarantee, 12 rebuys in the $22k,  10 rebuys in FTOPS #17 satty (which is almost a buy-in already!), and a bunch more above average rebuys in other tournaments.  I'm not too worried about all the rebuys I made today because like I said it's very rare I play like this or that I even need to use that many rebuys to build a decent stack.  What I am bothered about is that I let myself get that carried away in the FTOPS #17 satty, I gotta realize that it's pretty unprofitable for me to spend that much on rebuys when it equates to almost a direct buy-in to the event.  Sometimes I get carried away in just trying to win a tournament that I don't realize what it is I'm actually trying to win, in this case a $322 seat to FTOPS #17 that I spent $222 on today. 

                On a brighter note, I did win my seats into FTOPS Main Event, FTOPS #10, and won another entry into FTOPS #13 which I'll be using as a rebuy/add-on at the actual event.  I'm glad I finally won my seat to FTOPS #10 after numerous attempts, another entry that's been a pain in the ass is FTOPS #12.  It's the most expensive satellite I play on a daily basis and I've had so many close calls but can never close the deal.  Today, I bubbled the FTOPS #12 satty, still made some cash but really wanted to win my seat already so I can focus more on other sattys.  Aside from winning the seats to FTOPS today, I am still down in real-time money and in combination with Friday's losses I believe I am down around $5k the past two days I have played.  Tomorrow is the $1k Monday, so hopefully I can make a deep run in it like last week.  Check out my pics from the bahamas on my 'Pictures' blog!
