Default 3.5 hrs for shit

I wasn't going to post this at all, but it makes me wonder if I should stick to the 2/3/4 table games. Tourney started at midnight, and at 3:30am I busted out with a stupid call.. my 10/10 agaist his KK... I felt pretty stupid. Up a whole $38.70 for 3 and half fucking hours.

PokerStars Tournament #42679524, No Limit Hold'em
Buy-In: $20.00/$2.00
607 players
Total Prize Pool: $12140.00
Tournament started - 2007/02/14 - 00:00:00 (ET)

I don't expect anyone to feel sorry for me... I make good money at work so >$40 in 3.5hrs just doesnt feel like a good use of time. I would have had a more enjoyable, and likely more profitable, evening playing a few S/2TT. These large MTT are taxing on the soul.

I'm the senior network architect, but spend much of my time in Project Management. I also live in the Canadian arctic (think eskimo's & polar bears) which adds a good $30k to the salary.

So you get 30k extra for living in a shitty place, GG. But i'm guessing that it's hard to play poker during work then.
