A Comment Response

Mike left this comment a few days ago regarding my deep finish and monumental collapse in the $215 Limit Event:

Tough one Dave. Do you have notes on the final rounds of the tourney? How many hands did you play in between 3rd place and elimination? Were there hands you should have played differently or did you just run into a buzzsaw? I'd be interested in sharing in the madness (you were in 3rd when I went to sleep, so I want to know what I missed, even though it's ugly).I think that simply playing for 11 hours in a row is an often overlooked element in terms of the difficulty of winning a tournament. I think it gets a lot harder to focus and especially when you are among the chip leaders in a limit tournament it becomes surprisingly easy to lose a bunch of your stack. Anyway, hope you can shake it off and proceed to triumphant glory in the coming tourneys. Good luck!

At the time I put up my last post regarding this tournament it was late and I'd been playing for almost 15 hours straight that day so I didn't really go into too much detail. I've requested a hand history which will give me the exact details of all of the over 800 hands I played in that tournament. When the WCOOP is over or perhaps on a day when I don't have any tournaments I'll do a write up where I talk about all of the hands that went bad in the last 50 or so hands and try to objectively analyze if I did it right. To be honest I'm sure there are plenty of things I could have done differently and it will be interesting for me to look back.
