My WSOP dreams are over, how you doing?

[Penguinfan]

Got very close (heads up once) for a main event seat, but couldn't finish him off, got reasonably close on two other occasions, but what really put the hammer down was a phone call a few minutes ago from my boss.

No chance of getting enough time off to go, we had been going back and forth on weather or not I could get the time off and I really thought he was leaning towards yes, but not to be.

Guess it's the long distance rail for me, again.

That sucks.... and that Heads Up bubble must have REALLY sucked.... ugh. Hopefully next year.

Will you be able to come out even for a long weekend that first weekend? I know a few people are planning on doing that.

[Penguinfan]

Suck is not a strong enough word man. It was a $160 DS, I actually played in 4 of them because I won a $615 seat and just took the W$ since I really thought I had a better chance in a SNG format.

Made the second table twice, played horribly the first time chasing draws that I really shouldn't have been, the one I finished second I had better than a 2-1 chip lead when we got heads up and actually tried to make a deal for the seat, but support said no deals at these tables, you had to play to win. Got all the money in with AQ vs A4 and at that point I all I was thinking about was "Vegas and the fucking Mirage". I will never forget the 4 on the turn, never.

Hadn't thought much about coming out for the weekend since I work a lot of Saturdays as well, I do want to pick up a couple futures tickets in the sportsbooks so, maybe.......

Ugh...... that REALLY stings.

At least the WSOP is played at the Rio and not the Mirage. Surely THAT makes you feel better!

[Penguinfan]

So we're clear, it was a quote from Rounders, you knew that, right?

I'm still holding my head high as the only poker player in the world to have never seen that movie!!!!!!
