Not a lot of poker this week but what has been played has been profitable.

8 x 6 5+.5 6 player games: 1st = 2; 2nd = 2; 3rd = 3; 5th = 1.
1 x 10+1 6 player game: 2nd.
1 x 5+.5 9 player game: 4th.

Sharkscope tells me I have now played 93 games with an roi of 26%.

The game in which I came 5th was interesting in that I ended up down to only 340 chips at the 30/60 level (caught by slow played trips) battled my way back to parity and there were still 6 folk playing at the 80/160 level - unprecedented in my experience up to now. I lost a race with 66 v AK.

In one of the games where I came third, I was proud of myself for laying down KK when a third flush card appeared on the turn along with an all in from my opponant. I'd denied him the odds up to then but felt I had to believe him. The same player busted two other players with underpairs hitting his two outers both times. He eventually busted me when he called my all in with QJs with A2 and hit A22 on the flop. You just have to shrug your shoulders and move on. I wish I'd sharkied him, as I'm sure he must be a loser long term.

So the current thinking is to establish myself at the 10+1 level on FT and use some of the other accounts for playing longer games when I have the time.
