I appreciate all the well wishes coming into this tournament.
Thursday was a nightmare with my flight delayed for over 1 1/2 hours. To make matters worse, I really didn't have time to handicap and planned on doing it on the plane on the way to Vegas, but after the attendants reset the wi-fi three times it became apparent the we were not getting wi-fi on the flight. Didn't get into Vegas until 10 pm and had to cram handicapping for Day 1.
Day 1 was a disaster for me, good handicapping, very bad playing. I finished in 142 place out of 208 entries with an overall score of $41.10.
I was determined to put it behind me last night, learn from my mistakes and go for the single day prize money for the second day and handicapped my butt off.
Day 2 was a very different day, starting and ending with winners and a few in between, plus a few seconds. I thought I would be short even though I had a big day (there is no leaderboard posted at this tournament) with $185.60 overall in wagers (missing my one wager to double the bet each day) but ended up finishing 4th overall for day 2 for a little over $6K prize money much to my shock! To boot, even more to my shock, I finished 11th overall for another prize of almost $2,800! It has been an absolute blast!
Not quite jms play, but not too shabby!
