Finished in 1067th. Over 16,000 started! Played for 2h45mins. I was actually in about 400th when the key hand occurred. Had top pair (jacks) after a rainbow flop and went all-in. Got called by a suited A10 and he turned and rivered the two diamonds he needed to cut me down to almost nothing. Would have been in approx. 200th if I'd won that hand.
Better luck next time!
Revel in my pain as I try to become a better poker player.

When it Rains, It Pours!
Late Saturday night (early Sunday morning) I played a couple more freeroll/fantasy point tournaments to qualify for a PCA final.
First one was a 120 person tournament with a 10 fantasy point entry fee. Top 20 move onto a final. Came in 11th and got a ticket to another final.
At the same time I entered a freeroll tournament. Field was 1500 people. Top 10 move onto a final. Came in 2nd and got another ticket to a final! The winner was some dude from Calgary. Small world.
So, tomorrow is final #1 @ 2pm (previously had a ticket for that one). Top 10 go to the Bahamas. BUT, there are already 6500 people registered! And its growing. Ugh.
The next two finals are Sunday, December 11th at 4am (yes, AM) and 2pm. Those are also the LAST opportunities to get into a final. So, I'm registered in both of those, but my workplace has a Christmas party for kids of the employees that day, so I won't be able to play in the 2pm game...hmmm...I wonder if anyone could play for me and split the prize??? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
