Wow, that actually made me feel better... and all I did was hold down shift+A... nice. In my WSOP Main Event attempt, I came so close... as I described in my post here. Well, tonight, I just decided to play in the Bracelet race, being inspired by Hoy's post. Well, I played relatively straight up poker, waiting for good hands but pressing when I felt that I had the better hand. I was also fortunate that I was at a table full of tight players for a while so I opened up my game a little (and only a little) but that helped me take down a lot of uncontested pots to help my stack. When we hit the final table, my stack was pretty much in line with everyone else.
I tried to open up my game and I succeeded here and there until I started getting a little out of line when it was down to 5 people and got another guy all in with my A6, just to see him turn over QQ. No bad beat crippled my stack so I went all in with my short stack with K8, and what do you know, I get one caller with QQ. However, this time, I flop two pair and so I have my stack back up to around 16000 which was still a little short but not too bad. However, we get our money all in when I have AJ sooooooooooted... and what do you know, I run into QQ again! No luck for me this time and I bust out 5th... I thought only 4 places paid so this message was strangely soothing...
But so close... top 2 places qualified for one of the prelim events at WSOP...
Soooooooo close.... and yet so far...

wow, that is really still very good for one of your first attempts? Did you satellite or buy in directly? How much.
Yeah, this is my second attempt in the actual WSOP attempts. I bought in using one of the $75 tokens I won in the 18 person $24+2 SNGs they have. I try to play that SNG once a night, generally, it's pretty money. Top 5 gets the token and 6th gets like $57. In other words, 1 in 3 players get paid and the players are pretty bad. And this is coming from me... a self-proclaimed terrible tournament (esp SNG) player.

my biggest complaint with 21Sean on hand 2was a big lead and call of RR on river. He should have check called for less or check folded. He was clearly beat.
