Message: [QUOTE="Fivver, post: 789894, member: 2907"] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred]Well frankly my first reaction was purely on a selfish note. For me, should I make it to Las Vegas to participate in the main event, this would be a feat in itself. Of course I would then do my very best to make it to the final table. Since I have played poker for a long time I have been on quite a few final tables. My most important final table was in The Hall of Fame Poker Classic Ladies 7-stud event in 1989. It was a grueling 14+ hrs. of playing. This was my second time ever at a final table, but by far the biggest. And even though I could sit and grind for many more hrs. than that in a cash game I have to admit that I was very tired. So a break to recharge ones batteries would not have been wrong.

After all for me it is not a couple of hours in a car or a plane. it is a long journey just getting there so I would want to spend some time with my son who lives there and rest up before returning to Sweden. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#8b0000]Should I then be among the lucky nine to go on to the final table I would be thrilled at coming back in November to play that last sitting. As pointed out these preceding months I would be able to secure some lucrative sponsoring and build strength for the finishing game. Besides this I would no matter the outcome get to celebrate my sons birthday while there since he is born in November.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#8b0000]Another thing that appeals to me is the fact that this would give legitimacy to the idea that poker is a game of skill not just mere luck. So from that standpoint I think this might be good for poker.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#8b0000]Mariana aka Fivver[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
