I just played in the Win a Weekend with Daniel Final and unfortunately, didn’t quite work out as planned. After playing for almost 3 hours, with about 5000 other players, I busted out around 900 place. It’s kind of painful after playing for so long to be eliminated fairly close to “in the money”. It’s pretty much a crap shoot with various types of players from total fish to season veterans. There were 2 hands that were probably the “TSN turning points”. One was getting my 2 Aces cracked by a pair of nines when a nine sucked out on the river. That would have put me close to 20000 chips. The 2nd hand I simply misread the player and it cost me.

One thing I learned from this is that it’s tough not to be get bored. It’s a slow tournament and I found myself watching TV, checking email, surfing, etc. Oh well, lesson learned and on to the next tournament!
