Doubled your bankroll and thinking of changing? Say whaaaa?😛 Being serious though, your aggression may be so high because at 10NL you are going to be pushing your slightly marginal made hands like top pair much stronger as players are bad and call with worse. Plus you can c-bet most of the flops you will see and nobody will adjust. I am no expert but is an AF of 5 at 10NL really something to fix?
Got a tiny taste of the swings at 6-max today and enjoyed it. Was happy that I didn't run great at the start and managed to not bother about it and concentrate on the current hand. Managed to get a small profit.

well an MTT coach couldn't hurt...
but as far as "running super-bad" uh, lol zach, according to OPR you've played fewer than 50 tournaments this year between PS and FTP, including CC buy-ins. i mean, you're a smart guy so i shouldn't have to tell you that what you're saying is kinda ridiculous. MTT variance is the absolute most crazy thing beyond what any of us can likely comprehend and you're talking about 50 tourneys. 100 buy-in downswings are super standard for MTT pros, 200 downswings come with the territory as well. this of course also leads to the conclusion that there's no real reason to think you're leaking based off such a sample size
yeah you always get screwed on the most important all-ins, because generally that will be the case of whichever all-in ends your tournament. if it's tilting you that much, dabbling in tournaments in a way where it can take years upon years to catch up with variance seems kinda -life EV. this is exactly why i dislike and rarely play MTTs
wow maybe I need to work on tone. I'm not that pissed, just kinda annoyed. Not really tilting that much, just annoying how much equity in each flip is in mtts and how I've been on the wrong end literally on 100% of important flips (although due to sample size that's been like 5). I realize overall I'm running good and that I shouldn't play poker if I can't handle negative variance and that happen especially in tourney poker. Not pissed, not even that upset, just minor vent, sorry if I'm not allowed to do that.
ouch. And he obviously instaleaves after this hand. F*** Tableratings

yeah i know that now. didn't know he was that bad then and just felt like he was drawing and i was beat. i would definitely bet it knowing what i know about him now though.
this was like the 2nd hand he was at the table and I will sometimes opt for a cheaper showdown when I know nothing about a player and a large % of his range crushes me (flush and straight both came in)
Been a very long and very wild session today..
Was down 6 BI's at one point and have come back to post a 4 BI profit.
And I cleared a bonus
And I hit platinum star.
And I was able to sustain 15 tables for an extended period of time profitably and comfortably (took some doing)
/$1250 month counting bonuses atm... smashing personal records
//and i feel it could have been a $1500-$1600 month easy too if I'd played better
///in a good mood right now
////not even thinly veiled brag

Is checking the turn ok?
I figured villain would bet his whole range there since he was rather aggro and there are not to many draws to worry about(i dont believe in back door flush draws 😀) and im pretty sure he is folding all his overcards,44-88 if double barrel.
Oh and i love sucking out with 4% equity 🙂.
