My WSOP dreams are over, how you doing?

So watch it ON YOUR COMPUTER while you are playing. I've watched hundreds (literally) of movies this way.

And yes, of course I knew where that quote was from.

[PShabi]

One monitor, 4 tables, no room.

[Boobie Lover]

Buy new monitor. I love the dual monitor setup.

[Talking Poker]

Hells yeah.

Take a night off from poker and use the $400 you would have lost to buy yourself a sweet new monitor.

[Penguinfan]

That's just cold.

My dream is still out there... will play the $650 on Stars the Sunday after the 4th of July.

Penguin... out of curiosity, why did you think the $160 shootouts were the better chance than the Sunday $650? My thought is that the $650 awards a seat for roughly every 18 in the field while the shootouts have only one seat up. Did you just think that having 4 cracks at it was the best route for you?

Penguin, what would have happened had you won that match, then found out from your boss that he wouldn’t give you the time off?

[Penguinfan]

Here was my thought process, for some reason I am just not doing well in MTT's, I honestly can't find the leak other than I am just getting unlucky at all the wrong times, though finding a way to avoid or survive those spots may be a leak in itself.

In a normal MTT they pay roughly 10% of the field depending on where you play, well one seat for 18 players is closer to 6% of the field, I just didn't like those odds. I am a reasonably decent SNG players and thought that four shots at that game should get me to at least one final table. Again, being better than average (IMO) gives me at the very worst a 1 in 7 shot of winning a seat. Had I been paying attention to the lobby board were it clearly states no deals can be made I MAY have thought twice about going that direction.

Flawed logic, probably but thats the path I went and like I posted earlier I got heads up and got the chips in with the lead and had a dominating hand, guess it just wasn't meant to be, this year.
