well it sucks... but I dont know why you played thiss at first place... as you said 2757 players only 15$ prize pool... thats insaine... and what is more redicules is that only 3 place getting paid... You must played it realy good when you menaged to finish 4th... its shtty that you didnt win ticket...
That's a bit rough. You did however play a tournament with an expected value slightly over half a cent... This must be one of the worst free rolls around... Very decent finish though...

That is the worst thing ever. I prefer to lose in the first hand and leave the tournament than this. drives you crazy. It is not only the time you have wasted, but also the fact you reached close that anyone else and got nothing

... The prize pool was 3,...$5 tickets to another tourney... I was just playing this one on the side and wound up killing it sort of,...so then I took it a little more seriously once I was way up and had a chance...

And what ever happened to metal bumpers.
...oh she's hotter than hell here today crash... humid too...! I would imagine there are PLENTY of bikinis around the beach today...!
There was still ice on the water a few weeks ago... It helps to enhance the hard nips...
...and metal bumpers...? I was thinking that too earlier today...!
...and since WHEN did power steering and brakes become standard equipment in cars....? wtf do ya need all THAT crap for...? No wonder everybody's gettin' fat...!
It just jacks the price of a car up by 3 or 4 thousand dollars, robs you of horsepower,...,....and is a tangle of MESS under the hood...

1) congrats on beating 2700+ crazy preflop all-in donkeys. 2) congrats on making to the final table. 3) congrats on wasting a couple of precious hours of your life. 4) no congrats for not having pochui's ball shave stand around to relieve your pain.

Don't think of it as a failure just because you fell just short of a prize... Think of it as coming 4th out of 2,700+ players - Which is a very good achievement.
You can also console yourself with the fact that another multi-entry donkfest would've awaited you in the next round if you did qualify, so you probably actually saved yourself a few hours by NOT qualifying
...Use those gained hours to finish 4th in a buy-in tourney with that many players and you'll be laughing

So unlucky Demo but as others have said getting 4th place is still a very good result and you played for 3 hours knowing that this was not going to be easy.The experience will have done you no harm. As I have said before I think your short stack play is very disciplined and I am sure it will pay off next time.

ahahhaha (just kiding)
Its hard to see and pass for that, but like above said, in the end congratulations for the achivement that you reach, because bet all that players and get one final table is huge, beside that no win the ticket is sad, but in the future continuing playing you will get or any something big or a ticket.

...I have a lucrative idea to share with you...: Coin Operated Ball Shavers
Simply have any reputable golf ball 'washer' manufacturing company modify their product to suit your,...and ultimately the consumer's needs...
Have them replace the internal brushes of the washer with razor blades, which would effectively converet the unit to a ball 'shaver'...!
Then market and place them strategically in many places throughout the world... I would consider franchising them out...
Place them for convenient ballshaves in such places as hotel lobbies, night clubs, 5 star resorts poolside, many of the fine beaches found through out the world, corner stores, and churches just to mention a few...! ...and oh hey for THAT matter,....even on the thousands of golf courses world wide...
You could even modify them to perform coin operated circumcisions for those hospital, or synagogue locations...!
Just stuff your junk into the round hole on the plunger,...and oscillate to the desired effect..

U know it takes an awful lot of time to appreciate when you win nothing after hours of hard folding.

Hi!
Falling out so may be rather annoying! I played it already several times on this game but I was eliminated soon. but I marked this game for having fun only because I knew about the fact that I am eliminated soon! The games like this are meaningless according to me! More thousand people are playing and only 2-3 players win... And sorry for my very bad english!!!
