Fawk, Fawk, Fawk.

I earned entry into FullTilt's ME freeroll by accumulating 3000 FTP a week every week but the week I spent in Las Vegas. I have only played it twice so far so currently I am looking at 825 medals but will give it a try Sunday.

I have decided that even were I to win seat I would not play the Main Event.

From Bankroll Managment perspective it would represent more than half my bankroll on a single tournament entry, but I've done that before.

From vacation from work perspective I don't have the time banked.

From experience standpoint, I've already played Main Event. I think everyone should aspire to play it once. But I have neither illusion nor delusion that I can make the live reads or play position aggressively enough to cash.

Lucko , Loretta8 , LJ , Iggy and OMGSitsPokerFool (and any bloggers I've missed) have to make their own decisions about their finances, desire and expectations to play ME.

But as I told MiamiDon months ago, if I win seat and have an equity event at work my decision could change, but I'm running out of time.
