WRGPT - done
Well, I busted out of WRGPT17. Was quite short-stacked, it folded around to me on the button, I jammed with ace-rag, and ran into pocket kings from the big blind. Oops. :) Just to twist the knife a little, I sucked out with an ace on the turn, but Villain caught his four-flush on the river. So it goes.
This years WRGPT was actually a pretty poor experience for me. Not because of anything about the tournament, I mean. It's just because it's a hard thing for me to schedule these days. Now that I'm working again, I find it's weird to have a job and yet not be sitting in front of a computer at said job. So I have work, and I have sleep, two blocks of time at which I can't reach the 'Net, and to make matters worse, the start and end times of those blocks vary from day to day thanks to my wacky schedule. So I found it hard to set up workable office hours for myself for the WRGPT, which unfortunately led to some rather uncomfortable (and -EV) timeouts. Ah, well. I always enjoy taking my shot, but if I'm still in a similar scheduling situation next year, I may well skip number 18, just to save myself the heartache.
Anyway...good luck to everyone still in there. Seeya at the rail.
