"Busted Out" of the Main Event of the 2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP)
Earlier today, I joined the long list of people, including many of Poker's Top Players who are now out of the "Main Event" of the 2005 World Series of Poker.
For me, the day started out great, since after just two hands, I managed to double my chip stack to: 32,000 which at least took me out of being the person at the table with the shortest chip stack. What I didn’t realize at that time was that move also had temporarily moved me up from 1300th place to around 650th place in chip count. But about 90 minutes later I was amongst the group of people who survived the grueling first day of play only to leave on the second day.
While it feels great to know that I was lucky enough to last in the Main Event longer than many poker professionals, having tasted what it feels like playing in the Main event of the World Series of Poker, I know that I will do what I can to play in the main event in 2006.
In the meanwhile, while I'm in Las Vegas, I will be playing in two more of the WSOP events, games #43 and #44 which are one-day events that take place on Monday and Tuesday.

So Jeff, how about a post with the 5 or so top bullets of learnings that you are going to take into the 2006 rounds?

Ah, most definitely NOT the news I wanted to take with my cereal this morning...but looking at the bright side, you DID make it through the first day in your first attempt. Soooo....at this rate, Jeff, you should be World Champion in 2010/11!
Chin up, bud...and best of luck in #43 and #44.
