Thanks.

No chance of that. I always rebuy before the first hand is dealt, and I
always take the double add-on. That means a minimum of $200 in this format,
and I spent $240 that night. Plus, I didn't technically finish 9th. I went
out at the same time as a guy at the other table, so we split 10th and 9th
place monies.

But hey, $311 in profit is still $311 in profit. And, since I caught a
2-outer on the river to crack AA earlier, I can't complain.

Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

I'd like to add my congratulations. You keep on adding up those $311
profits.

I haven't been able to play in many (three to be exact, with one ninth
place finish) tournaments during this boom as the bus from New Haven
almost never gets there in time for me to play. I have had a decent
winning streak (in terms of the number of sessions) in the ring games
that I have played in instead. But it's still frustrating. Working out
an alternate method of travel. Does not involve my driving as the
state and I agree that this would be a public health and safety risk
:-,)
