Well I screwed up last Saturday's Tourney, 2nd round, so I decided to try again.
I tried again today to re-qualify for round 2 , of the Freeroll Satellite on P*'s for the Seat to the WSOP and the Final Table on 3 July 08. Tourney 87006421, 1992 players at the 1005AM and I finished in the Top 50 for 1st place and another chance to play in the Saturday Tourney's.

The best part was that "I BLUFFED Twice" in the last three hands, that I played. Went all-in after the flop with a pair of 5's on one hand and then again the next hand with a pair of 4's , as I didn't have enough for the next two blinds. I then flopped a straight to the 10, and just waited after that to get into the top 50. Only had $23,000 left at the end, barely enough to cover the next couple blinds.

I feel "GREAT" qualifing the 2nd time in this event and will continue trying until it is over. I HOPE, I WON'T HAVE TO DO IT THE 3RD TIME>>>>>>>>

Nice job!

I still haven't had a chance to play the 2nd round yet. Saturdays are too busy for me with kids activities. Hopefully I can play in a few weeks.

I'm going to try again tomorrow at 1330(1230) central time.

Hopefully things are going well for you!

I just finished the 1330(1230Central) tourney. 1723 Players, I finished 179th at 345PM Texas time. I an happy I lasted 3hrs 24minutes, but disappointed I didn't make it again..

Oh Well, I'll try and re-qualify in Round 1 again next week, and keep trying until the event is over. Maybe if I can get in the 3rd time, I will make it.

Third time is the charm.......

Good luck everyone....

Yeah....I busted out after only 45 minutes, can't remember what place. I had and the flop came Checks around to me, I fire 500, folds around to the guy on my right. He moves all-in. I called, he shows .

Sweet. Oh well. I'd play it the same way again in a heartbeat.

We still have several weeks left to re-qualify. Wish you would have made it last night. Don't give up...

Hope we both can get there again and be at the same table...

Good Luck
