Well, busted out of the $1500 event in about three hours. Due to the WSOP's ill-preparedness, I was forced onto the waiting list because they capped the event at three thousand people for some unknown reason. I didn't actually get into the tournament until 2 hours after it started, thus putting me in at the 50/100 level with 3k starting stack. There were already two huge stacks at my table, so it was a really bad position. I did manage to double up semi-early with JJ surviving over AK, but then one of the big stacks (a good, younger player) kept floating in on me in position and I couldn't make anything solid. Thus, I ground down to about 2500 and shoved in the big blind, which was 200 at the time, against three limpers and was called by a guy with K5. A five obviously hit and sent me home in time to catch a good portion of the Cavs game, so not a bad consolation.
I have already pre-registered for the $1500 pot-limit holdem event, but if it plays anything like today's event, I may limit the number of $1500 events I play. Three thousand chips just isn't enough but I really like how bad the players are in these events, so I will need to weigh out the pros and cons...
