I have also played a few tournaments at about break even on UltimateBet and PokerStars(PS). My best shot going deep was last night in the $3rebuy on PS. We were in the money with a little more than 300 players left. (3396 started...money bubble was at 648) The average stack was about 72k and I had almost 128k when I get a few hands that dwindled me to nothing.

Notice original limper says he folded AQ...giving other player 2 outs...75.57% to win...19.46% to lose and 4.97% to tie. Tournaments are a very high variance way to play which requires a lot of volume to overcome. I just don't have the time to devote to tournaments. I my luck goes the other way on these 3 hands...I probably have over 300k and very near the chip lead. I was in 30th place when I had 128k.
I did win $33 and was only in the tournament for $12.30. $20.70 profit...but that pales to what could be made at the final table...chuckspears went on to cash 5th for $1292. First place paid $6104.
Hee Haw!!!
