Its been a good week so far. I finally made use of my FTP points on Full Tilt and played in the 2500FTP qualifier to the FTOPS ME. Top 72 get 535 T$. I think I played pretty good. Couple of key hands ->

1) Shoving A6 from the blinds against a MP steal. I had a read on the guy based on his pre-flop raise. He called with 78s (coz he had the right odds), and I doubled up.

2) Later I folded AKo when there were ~85 ppl left. The action was raise, 3 bet shove by mid stack. I was in 30th position or so at that point so folding I think was the right play. Now if the tournament had a regular pay structure I probably would have shoved. Anyway folding AK pre-flop is sooooo hard!!

As expected I didn't play the main event. Its too much $$$ especially given the current state of my bankroll. So I converted the T$ to USD and now I'm waiting for a nice $500 check from Full Tilt.

Also I started playing NL50!! YAY!!

Also here is my progress so far in NL50,
