Running out of options

As I predicted, the blast from the past was short-lived. Last night on PokerStars, there were no 6-max tournaments to be had. If I wanted to play tournament poker, there was nothing for it but to play 9-max. I played two $50k Bankroll Builders, fired two bullets in each, and failed to make the money in either. To make matters worse, I couldn't even outlast the late registration period in the second one, registering a 0th place. I feel like I'm running out of options on PokerStars; I may have to switch to a different site. For now, I've decided to return to cash games; this time around, I'll play at tables with the same blind structure as before, but will buy in for the minimum instead of the maximum.
