Multis...Why Even Bother?

Tonight I played a little $5 multi on pokerrom. I have to admit I love playing them. I think it is a nice challenge to go up against a huge field and see how far you can go. The problem with them is that you can spend two hours playing, like I did tonight, and come up with nothing. Not only that, but at the $5-$10 level with a field of 400 or so you have to make top 5 to make any kind of $$$$$$$$$$. Anyway, I had AA early and about doubled up and then never was able to catch any steam. I had to constantly deal with hands like k4 and j7 - nothing to raise or even call with. So I came up about 14 people short of the cash. Even though my results are rarely good in them (minus the one a couple days ago) I'm sure I'll keep donating.

After that was over I decided to chip away at my 365 February bonus. Instead of playing 2 shorthanded tables like I usually do I decided to play 4 full tables at the .50/1.00 level. I ran into some decent hands and picked up a couple lucky ones. My lucky hand of the night was when my QQ was up against KK all in preflop and I caught runner, runner for a flush. I guess I could have typed in "sorry" like some people do but forget that. I've taken my fair share of those.
