My humble opinion, might be wrong about this:
I play those hands just like you did for these reasons:
Preflop:
-Were setmining since were multipot.we can probably make money if we hit it since theres more ppl in the pot, and we dont lose much if we fold otf.
-Theres an argument to be made to 3bet, although id guess were still in trouble vs the UTG most of the time. Im not sure about this though and I should play around with flopzilla to find out.
Postflop: There are 2 villains and since having a T, overpairs and higher pp is in their range, I would not call or reraise the bet. Even if the UTG checks. He might still reraise. We missed the set, we get out.
I think it was in Polished poker thread (or your thread?) that figaroo said they gathered data about 3betting small pp compared to flatting them from the blinds (and 3bets were better). I do believe flatting would be more profitable if its multiway.
I hope my rambling makes some sense.
Congrats on the 109$ ticket! Good luck! I hope you can at least make the money!! That'd be a pretty good BR boost!!

You played the hand fine man. Stop being results oriented.
This is a fine spot to flat, and go MW. Get paid off a bunch if you flop set.

Late regged the heavyweight main.
1 hour gone. Now on brreak. Still at the starting stack.
Not much going. Haven't got decent hands. Made some bluff cbes to take the flop down.
A lot of 3betting going on around.
Top 88 out of 700 people atm get paid
Thought of bluffing then thought against it

Thanks for the support guys!
half of the players have been eliminated out of 1.6k player pool.
216 paid with min cash of $260.
3 hours+ gone.
Pretty damn boring to be honest.
I have been really struggling with getting value out of good hands. All my chips have come from serious pure bluffs. lol.
Just made to double the starting stack & got around 20k knocked out AA<Q10 catching a freakin straight.
So back to around 80k chips.
Will see how it goes
One great hand I folded. Someone EP opens around 2.2BB ish. I have AK at MP or CO. I 3 bet. The next guy 4 bet shoves. And the SB shoves as well. I cover the SB by a pretty small amount. The other guy is short.
Original raiser folds. I think for a while, & since it's early I folded. Around1/8th of my money on the pot as dead money.
The short stack had AJs & SB had QQ. Kd came up. So sad. Not sure if it was the correct play or not. Would have gone up to 120k+ very early if I called there.
87k stack atm. 2500/1250 blinds

Open shoved around 23/24 BBs UTG with 99. The chip leader just flatted. So I quickly knew I was behind.
He had QQ.
But the river saved me lol. A 9 on the river for a boat
OK 150k+ stack!!!

I didn't make a note about yesterday's cash session.
I ran around 2000 hands of fast forward 5NL at party.
For the first 1000 hands I was break even.
The next 500 I went down $5. The next 500 I went down $15.
Pretty idiotic I'd say cause my head was hoping for a double up with top paiirs where I lost 2 buyins with Queens & Jacks.
In the end so much time & money wsted & I could rest much before the $109 heavyweight.
So I need to reevaluate my strengths/strategies at fast forward.
I think when moving from ps zoom to party FF, a slight change of strategy might be needed.
At party main thing I'm struggling is a psychological thing. I want to get up to the $150 margin so quickly but I'm scared of loosing & going down under $100 which is what happened yesterday. Went down to $95 but got $5 back from rakeback.
So new plan would be to put a full stop FF at party for now & go back to 2NL to get that mental barrier out of my mind.
Will grind out 2NL straight for 4 or 5 days there to get back up around $120/130+
Then will stick to regular tables there.
But will continue at zoom at PS.
From the tourney I noticed that I lack somewhat of patience to stay long hours patiently just waiting for that chance to double up etc.
But I mean come on!! I played for long 5 hours+ but still around 570 players were left when I got knocked out where only around 260ish were paid.
So I don't actually think that investment is worthwhile considering the time you put into it.
So to balance it up, obviously multi tabling is needed. So you have to become a MTT grinder.
Or just run a long cash session while playing the MTT. But it could have a mental impact as well as play style impact from cash to tourney & vise versa when you run them together.
Overall the month of October so far hasn't been very profitable.
I struggled a lot moving up to regular 5NL where I had insane swings + I took some serious life decisions & how I want to proceed.
Still I'm struggling with some issues like tilt, lack of patience, frustration etc.
Need to limit those things as possible.
And increase my work rate.
So as I said before I'm changing my time table a bit.
Gonna sleep from 6PM to 12AM and adjust accordingly.
Have a long grind session when I wake up, then exercise etc & get to my other stuff early morning.
That way I can have an extremely effective 12 hours since I wake up until 12 noon.
Failure is just a part of the path to success. You just have to keep your shit together, never give up, give your best & keep on pushing.

I think you need to tweak your mindset a bit. You have these goals like getting up X buy ins, etc. These goals give you something to shoot for, and there's nothing wrong with that.
However, the goal should be to make good decisions. That's the only thing you can control. You're going to have soul crushing swings in this game man, and it seems like you are short term results oriented.
Not trying to rain on your parade obviously. You've been doing very well to be honest. I just think this type of thinking is something you need to change, early while you can. It can lead to problems down the road like fear based thinking and hitting and running.
I'm happy to see you doing so well.

Yeah absolutely right.
That's what Fedor said in that podcast I linked.
While I'm fretting about loosing & etc, if I'm making good decisions, I don't care about that much. The thing is I know I am not. Like the last 500 hands on yesterdays session.
I knew I should have stopped the session, I knew I would loose due to tiredness, and I knew I was making bad decisions in hands when I made them.
So even though I knew knew, I made the wrong decision. That's what I'm frustrated about.
If I make the right decision but would loose, I wouldn't be so upset about it cause it is the right decision.
You said the exact thing Fedor said in the podcast. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
But that being said it comes down to money & the BR. So I have to make conscious decisions & it somewhat effects me mentally to see it swinging pretty hard.

Man I struggle with it too (short term results oriented). I wish I were more like a machine. However, I do feel I am always making progress towards this goal. The more I play, the better I get. But progress is very slow for me with mental game flaws. Maybe it's easier for some.
Cheers man. Here's to us, and all the others chasing the dream of poker.

I found setting money goals over a specific time period counter-productive. It pushed me into playing for longer than was good for me. I lapsed into wasted hours of b and c game. I find I play my best A game when I have short focused sessions of about an hour. Then take a screen break break for a minimum of 10 minutes and then go back to it if I feel like it.

I think it depends how you think about it. I have a goal to get to 250$ on PS before christmas. If I continue playing like I am now, I doubt I'll make it. But I'm fine with that. If I miss the goal, at least I'll be able to see what goal would be more realistic, since I'll have tracked my progress for 2 months. Before having a goal, I felt like I was aimlessly playing.
So having a goal for me just motivates me and gives me some structure to get somewhere without having a bad side.

I agree with Figaroo. While it does make you motivated, it pushes you to make irrational decisions. And it's tough mentally as well.
If you are dedicated enough, you'll get there quickly than you expected.
Example - I made a goal of achiving $150 at party poker 2 times or more within a time period within these two months after I did actually made it & had some losses. And both those times where I made it my objective, I failed miserably while one time I didn't, I made it. But went down due to the downswing.
3 very good players have advised about this to me so I'm pausing making short term money goals. So just making some limits when I'd want to move up the stakes or down. Some BR management.

Don't mind this. Might check back on the flop for deception and pot control but I think this is good.
Usually Im value betting the river when turn goes check check.

A couple of plays from a breakeven session. I ran so good but made a stupid play in the end. Not very happy about it
What a flop
--------------------------------
I think the V had AK as well. This is why I think flatting AK is bad. on any kind of board without an A or K you are mostly folding against aggression
-------------------
A spot where 3betting from SB was very profitable
-------------------------------
Not sure about folding. The guys 3bets alot. But AQ off flops pretty bad
------------------------------
And finally the last play I made which is super idiotic. He was trapping the UTG but I stupendously wanted to shove. Should've folded pre & should've folded flop. Sent my really good session to breakeven.

KK. NH. Standard.
AK, love the 4b pre. I c-bet flop TBH. I still think it's fine, but it just sucks if dude bets flop, and then what do we do? I think I just bet flop there.
6-6, I like the play man. Good job. Bet flop, bet turn. Turn brings two clubs, he prob isn't folding, but I can see merit in check raise as well. I am guessing you had a pretty good read that V would bet..... Nice play bro.
A-Q, yeah I really like this fold pre. Great discipline. It could be reverse implied odds, or you don't even get paid off A-high boards. Great play. I like it.
QQ, yeah you know. Limp/RR sandbaggers man. They gonna have KK+ a bunch. And we are just losing allot on low boards. His limp/4b is huge too. Fold pre. You already know. Too much to invest to hit a queen.
You are really coming along man. You are learning very fast. All the hard work you've been doing is paying off. Keep at it man. Each mistake or bad play is an opportunity to learn valuable lessons.
