Huge slump lately, but doing okay in SNG's. Decided to play low $ MTT this morning. 2 + 0.25 pounds (site I am playing on has US dollars, pounds, and euros), 137 players. Ended up ninth (which I am very pleased with), winning 5.52 pounds (no idea what that is worth in US dollars).Here's the straw that broke the camel's back:Game #652782013: Texas Hold'em No Limit (600/1200) - 2005/05/19 - 11:57:11 (ET)Table "Tourney 603607 - 1" Seat 9 is the button.

What do you mean hoping somebody would leave - just to make the final table? Don't be ridiculous. Just look at the size of the blinds AND antes. Anyone with less than 5K was in trouble if they didn't try to double up soon. I tried a few hands earlier, and missed. Then got anted down :cry: Still, very happy I was able to navigate through that minefield, and it has really boosted my confidence (so much so that I am 6 for 6 on my baseball team so far this season with a triple, two doubles, and three singles) :wink:
