1st day results

60th in lucky dollar gets me $2.10. Played pretty tight 1st hour saw the flop if cheap enough with connectors and pairs but nothing much. Stack of 2000 with blinds 75-150. All fold to button who just calls SB folds and I check with Q2 off. Flop is Q 3 6 - I check and he shoves - for some reason I insta call - it didn't make any sense to bet so much when I'd shown weakness - he had nothing K8 I think so it was fine. Don't know if it was a lucky call or not - usually I'd just let someone steal such a small pot. Nothing much else still around 4000 with blinds 400-800, getting near bubble. Folded to me in small blind with Qc8c so I shove get called by BB (he has me covered but not by much) with QhJh flop gives me an 8 and him a flush draw but i make 8s full so it is ok. doubled up with aces shortly after so have about 13000 with the blinds 500-1000. Leader at table and near bubble - table playing tight so I decide to try and steal every unraised pot. All folded to button who calls SB calls I have 5s6s so make it another 3000 button shoves (he had about 8000 at start) - i don't really think he has much and thought I was just stealing so call as good pot odds. He has 6h7h and the 7 ended up playing. Oh well... as soon as bubble bursts I get KK so shove and get two callers - AQ won it. Oh well I guess fancy play with 5s6s cost me getting deep.
$2 shorthand MTT - rubbish - got short stacked - about 2000 at 200-400 - I know the BB he's been on Pokeroom for years and he has about 4000 - he's a rock so i've enough to make him fold most hands. Folded to me on button so I shove with 6-2 - unfortunately SB has AK and he wins. I don't know about shoving with a bad hand - never used to do it but sick of getting blinded out.
Then onto OH8 - there was a limit game going which is unusual for Pokerroom so put $2.5 in that and $2.5 in the NL game. Busted out of NL pretty quick. Made about $1.5 on the limit game then it stopped.
Bought in two NLHE .25-.5 games for $2.5. double up on one with AQ - a few limpers I shove and one caller who had 78off. I don't get the call just cos I only had $2.25 it was still a big raise. one advantage of buying in minimum i guess. double on the other with a SB special 25 off call the 0.10 (a few limpers) - flop gutshot checked around turn the wheel and push - called by an ace so that was fine. Maybe I should have checked and kept everyone in but there was a flush draw and the pot was big to me! cash out of both games in line with rules:)
Finished with 2 $1 SNGs no cashes tho. Got all my money in with Ah3h on a 2h5h9d board - couldn't even hit that tho - the caller had 9h4h so i wasn't getting a str8 flush anyway. Oh well its just fun have to gamble on that board.
Ok closing roll $19.53 - ok i suppose played about 4 hours. Still gutted about losing my $800 roll last night but will do me good to start at bottom again.
Oh well off to bed - squash game tomorrow am.
