No love on Full Tilt poker.com

So it looks like fulltilt poker has not taken kindly to wendyx25 jumping on their site. I've now played 2 of their festival tournaments and busted early in both.
First up i played event 1 the $216 buy in $1 million gtd and was card dead for the hour and a half that i managed to survive for. The structure was ok with 3000 starting chips and very low blind increases: 10/20, 15/30, 20/40, 25/50, 30/60 etc so as usual i wasn't in a hurry. Had 3 or 4 low pairs and got in quite cheap everytime but no set and no win on any of these occassions. I also had AQ twice and both times it went raise then re-raise from the first two spots so i had to fold which sucks. After the break i then had 10 10 playing 50/100. Started the hand with 2100 so was ready to get it in when i raised in mp to 300, guy next to me re-raises and then the button 4 bets so i have to fold again marvelous! Finally i find AQ soooooooted in ep so i limp for 120 with 1600 behind, Co raises and sb flats so i insta jam and the Co has AK, gg sir.
Event 2 was a $216 6-handed shootout. Very little experience playing these but i found a shed load of hands early to get me going, problem was i wasn't getting paid and building a loose image so think getting AA, KK. AK, 10 10 and AA again in the first 20 hands was actually a bad thing. First big hand was playing 40/80 and folded round to the button who made it 230ish. I make it 660 with JJ hoping he'll shove which he does for 2000 total and i snap call, he has KQ and hits the flop. The same player busts me a few rounds later with his QQ v my AA, ffs gg sir!!!
So that sucks. Also played the super thursday tonight on party and lost a massive race for 20,000 chips with JJ v AK playing 300/600. It's a massive race for me cause once i get the chips on that site my record over the last year is just so so sick as anyone who knows my results will confirm.
So not a good couple of days (i'm also down $1500 playing stt's). I might play on party tomorrow night but not sure, i'm defo playing the $1m gtd on party on sunday and the $250 comp on full tilt but the fields are massive so just hope to run good and keep playing my best. Dinner with the family on saturday at a fancy restaurant and a show before, nice change from usual.
