I can say the same as Jim. I had my chances today and made some really poor choices that cost me the chance to get within the top 50. But this is my first live tournament and I learned a ton over the last two days which will hopefully make me better the next time I get here.

It has been an absolutely incredible experience and a real pleasure meeting the DT crew. Hopefully we can all get back next year, get some more DTer's here, and do more damage! Regardless of the results today, I appreciate the well wishes, hope to do damage in the consolation tournament tomorrow but no one comes out of here a loser!

I agree with Nick and Jim, this has been an incredible experience...one that I can only hope to experience again. Watching the pro Old Time Hockey almost win needing one more jump and the Bird on a Wire come from from off the pace to win....meeting Nick/Jim and of course Steve......i will definitely not be leaving here a loser.
Sunday provides another chance!!

My take away is if you like something at 10-15/1 morning line and he goes off at 9-1 it isnt a reason to abandon the play. I tossed 3 winners in the $20 buck range Fri with the delusional thinking that I needed to use every Optional play on a Capper eligible horse. Needless to say I was an astounding 0-14 on my optionals. A red hot craps table on Sat night removes some of the sting

I hope you killed 'em. The only casino game to play, and my leak for sure, but nothing compares to a red hot roll. Glad to hear it eased the pain....
