I played a 50+4 qualifier for the WPT and won a 650+50 ticket. I will be playing the tourney this sunday morning which i think is sat afternoon or evening for you guys. For a while i was considering aiming for top 2 and then throwing the tourney because 2nd place is quite a substantial amount of money. But playing in the WPT would be awesome if i got the chance, this could be my only chance.
So this is the one tourney where all my years of playing will give me an indication of where im at as a player. If i go through or get knocked out first, ive learned a lot from this forum

well, i came 2nd. Not on purpose either. I came very very close and although im a little disappointed i have to be happy with the way i played and the way things turned out. Im sure with a bit more work on my shorthanded game ill get there eventually
