Janelle,

I really don´t know what you´re talking about re the FTOPS event. I mean, you busted out really early and never had a shot at winning this thing, right?

LOL I wish I could have bubbled. I have a VERY different perspective then you. I am so disappointed because I went out really early. I would rather have played 4 hours and bubbled then go out early. It isn't about the money as much as it is about poor performance. Although I did play very well (I thought), I was disappointed in my results.

I have only played about 8 MTTS and I won 3 of them and cashed in 2... so this is where this mixed up perspective may have come from.

I don't mind you flaming me auto. I understand your perspective on my post.

going out early in an MTT is like losing a single buy-in in a cash game. do you understand how preposterous it is to get upset about that? some of the best tournament players I know have gone strings of 50+ tournaments without cashing. i know your perspective is "mixed up" because you won three $5 tournaments in a row, but get a hold of yourself. playing a series of 8 MTTs, even with a bunch of them to the end, is still only a couple of normal session's worth of action. you've posted a number of hands, and i think i can confidently tell you that you're not that good. you got lucky. accept it, move past it, get better, and for god sake learn some math about variance.

Finally some sanity. Well stated, Pete. I was beginning to think I was in The Twilight Zone.
