I'm slowly working back toward the black in 2011. I have no problems with grinding it out either. As long as I can keep playing well all takes care of itself. I've had a couple bigger hits but nothing earth-stattering. I 4-way chopped the 6.40 super-turbo for about $330 (and the "win" as the chipleader) and I've managed to win a few of the 45-man turbo MTTs on UB. I've even won a couple 45-man SNGs on Stars. Good things are happening, just not great things.
Another good thing that happened was that FTP brought back the 54-man super-turbo SNGs by removing the On Demand gimmick from them. I did fine with the ODs but I really liked them as 54-man games since I could ration out my time knowing that I would be no longer than about 50 minutes with one of those things. They don't fill fast enough to grind them but they are great to fill a spot on my screen while I wait for bigger games. People play bad in them also. :)
We have a couple more weeks left in March and the plan is to keep plowing forward, as always. I'm hoping to use at least one night to play a bunch of 45-man SNGs on Stars and generate some FPPs, if I do it soon enough I'll have enough for the Turbo Takedown. Not sure it'll work out like that, but we'll see. I'll at least make Silver Star again, though I've yet to have time to play in the freeroll for that.
Wish me luck and I'll return the favor.

March On
Took the last couple of days off (OK, I played a couple things last night) just so I can get ready for the weekend. I really had to get busy to make my volume goals last weekend but things did turn out well. I actually managed to turn a profitable month for February, though it took a strong Sunday to do it. Most of it came on UB and those newer 45-man max turbos MTTs they have scheduled now.
I'm still down for the year but at least I proved that I could actually win a few hands when I needed to... it was getting downright depressing for a long time. Along with those good 45-man games on UB, I also played some of the turbos on Stars and even won a 180-man turbo as well! I made the final table in the $11 bounty and the $11 turbo MTT on UB during the last couple weeks also.
I've had to shore up on buble play in these 45-man games a little since its been some time since I played this many of them. Generally I found that I might have been just a tad too loose with my open-shoving, but as tight as some of these guys have been it might not have been that bad to do. Still, I probably need to trim a little of my range, notably some of the lower-ranked suited connectors I've been going with. For the most part I've been calling tight enough, save a few here and there where I felt the pot odds were just too good. In any case, I mostly use the final table bubble as my chipping-up point since people tend to want to get to that final... even though the games on UB only pay six places (its seven on Stars).
The plan for March is to keep up the hard work and get the games in. I'll keep playing the 45s on both Stars and UB while getting a few 90-man turbo knockouts on Full Tilt in the mix as well. I've been playing more on Sundays that I even have and that's been helpful too. Who knows, I might just win The Dime one day. As long as I can play well and run well enough I'll be happy.
On a sad note... jai-alai season is already over! F me. I love that shit. We saw some really good players on the last night this past Saturday, too bad we didn't hit many of our bets, though the one we hit was pretty good. Doesn't matter, its all in good fun anyway. I'll miss Jericho and Geno for sure. Can't wait until next year!
