Tournaments are much like this, a large number of people try them out to begin with, but as time goes on, more and more quit playing, and results primarily dictate whether or not people do things.

interesting/related anecdote: i recently played my first 109r, and on repeated occassions throughout the tourney commented to thayer and ray "man, this is a pretty tough tourney. im not sure i have much of an edge here." i know, to a lot of you very good players, this sounds silly because all top players think everyone else sucks and they obviously have a ridiculous edge in every tourney they play. and they may, but i don't feel that way. anyway, i ended up taking second. i ran really good.

a few days later, this past sunday, i played another 109r. because hey, i got 2nd in my first one, im obviously sick in that tourney, right?

i'm still uncertain I am a +ev player in the 100r (played it less than ten times), and I think I'm a winner in just about any other form of tournament poker.

The title of this post is completely misleading. The story is v standard for high buyin donkamenters imo. but some there are some good points in this thread.

Yea, i used to play the 100r a ton when i had absolutely no business in it.

I'm still not sure i have business playing it, but i'm down prolly in the area of 30k to it, maybe more.

God damn swongs.

dude, they're one thing...

Serious question though, why does anyone play tournaments that can beat cash games? It seems for the same bankroll reqs your $ / 100 hands rate is so much higher in cash games.. I've run good in tournaments and I have a very very good ROI over my career over all sites etc etc even excluding my one mega score... but I just feel I'm losing the appeal.. You put in long hours where I know how much more I could make in cash games.. and I just can't figure out the point anymore
