I'm out

It's no fun to have to say, "I just beat 4,000 guys in a poker tournament and got nothing for it," but that's the fact.

I'm out.

And, tragically, I deserve it.

I never got anything going today. I got up to $60K right away. Ground down to $50K. Blew off $18K of that on a brutal play. Then, I did get focussed and play pretty well for about four hours. I was completely card dead today. I had AQ once and JJ once. That was it. So, a think a combination of adrenaline (I had just won two small ones) and impatience resulted in the disaster that is my final hand.

I played my final hand like a complete RUBE. I should still be sitting there. I defeated myself. Sigh.

The monkey mind went blank. I'm out.

I will update Bob's progress tomorrow morning (as well as have a longer report from today). But, I will probably fly home tomorrow if I can change my flight. So, I will be leaving Bob and Teri on their own. I will get Bob to email me his results and update things that way.

    Though financially a bust. You made a lot of friends and new readers here on the forum Dave. Your reports were entertaining and I for one will miss them. Many of us were there with you if only by a thread.

    That sucks almost as much as another bad beat at pokerstars. Sorry to hear you're done.

    Sounds like you had fun, though.

    Great job, Dave.

    You were entertaining, and conducted yourself with the skill and class we've come to expect.

    You'll get 'em next year.

    In the meantime, Go Bob Go! :D

    Sorry to hear the news Dave. We were all pulling fer ya bud.
    Luck to Bob and Magi.

    Two thoughts now come to mind.....

    Where to find a card cover of a beaver choking a monkey...?

    How to convince Bejing to add a "Year of the Beaver" to
    their +4000 year old calendar...? (an oversight, I'm sure!)
