Thanks.
It feels awesome. This was a huge boost for my tournement confidence. It's been a while since I've had a really nice finish in a tourney (online, of course). I go fairly deep more often than not, but I never quite seem to make it to the big money. It always seems like some ridiculous beat ends up crippling me or finishing me off, but at some point, you have to stop making excuses and start re-evaluating if you are a good tourney player or not. I was honestly thinking about cutting way back on tourneys and sticking to cash games, where I have a proven track record.... but thanks to this, not only am I well ahead in lifetime tourament play now, but I've got the itch to play more
I've also got 320 Player of the Year points now!
I feel like I've got to play in another couple of qualifying events sometime this year. I've final tabled in 50% of the qualifying events I've played in now. LOL...
