Well, i've got three tournament levels still in the red: The biggest being 0/9 on 3-table 5+1 SNGs from when I first started playing on Party. I'm also slightly in the red on $20+2 MTTs (five played for 20% ITM and down $23) and 0/1 on $30+3 three-table SNGs. So I'm going to grind out the $5+1 three-tables quickly (should be pretty easy, I think) and going to take a shot at the occasional $30+3 three table to see if I can manage a cash there in a few attempts. I'm probably going to start taking shots at $20+2 single table SNGs, and possibly continue to terrorize the $10+1 SNGs since I'm seeing such good results there.
Quick update: took fifth in my first trip back to the $5+1 three-table ($15 payout). Tried a $30+3 three-table at the same time and was doing very well there - I was short-stacked most of the way, but doubled up at an opportune time with AK and then won a few more hands to climb to third in chips. At the final table with nine left, I get a free flop from the BB with Q5o, and flop top two pair. The chipleader is in the hand, limping from UTG. I mean to raise, but my slider gets off and I check. He raises, I re-raise the pot, he re-raises me all in. I insta-call. He's got KQo for top pair 2nd kicker, I'm way out in front with my flopped two pair. Beautiful - this holds up and I can cruise to a money finish. Instead he catches runner-runner nines to pair the board, counterfitting my two pair and knocking me out in ninth. Oh well. At least I've proven to myself that I should be able to make a money finish at the $30+3 three-table level: I made the final table, I got all-in as a 3-1 favorite when it counted, and I should have been able to cruise to a money finish if I hadn't have gotten the suck out.
Bounced out of my first $20+2 SNG in 8th. Players don't seem to be any tougher than the $10+1 level based on this first game - I get aces on the button, get four limpers at T30, I raise to T125, everyone folds to the girl to my left who re-raises all in. I immediately call expecting to see AA, KK or AK - instead she turns over pocket threeve. Of course she trips up on the flop to crack my aces - behold the power of threeve!
