Oh well, great run. Mumble grumble...

Oh and I placed in one of those freerolls (Omaha hi/lo) for a weekly round 2 ticket :P Think I got 9th out of ~2500

What did you get for the 15th place? Had to be at least a decent score

[azeldin]

$222.50 + $68.25 for the 13 KOs. Decent but still painful when you see the final table happen like 10 minutes later :S

[Steve R]

True, but unless you finish first or second it always stings seeing the payout jumps. I always had an uncanny knack for finishing 5th. I'd pocket like $700, but the $3,300 for first and $2,200 for second always pissed me off!

[azeldin]

Yep you're right. Couple years ago I got 3rd in one of Full Tilt's "Daily Double" tournaments (still my biggest score to date at around $1K), on double-guarantee week, and it hasn't stopped stinging :P

And now I'm back to normal luck... ran into a couple of insanely bad droolers with absurd luck in a $5.50 6-max event.
