Unfortunately I didn't get through round 1 of the PokerStars WSOP freeroll, so I didn't get to the round 2 seats tournament and my long shot at the main event. I came close a couple of times, finishing in the top 100 twice (the top 50 made it to the round 2 tournament).
So I'll be watching it from afar as usual. I get the updates on Google news every day and I'm following it with interest. This is the only tournament I follow. I don't watch poker on tv either.
The main event just fascinates me. There's such an attraction to it, the spectacle, for whatever reason. I realized this year that I really want to go to Las Vegas and be there in person. To at least be around and soak it in; if not actually play. Of course with a real life commitments and budget and such that will have to just be a crazy dream for the foreseeable future. But it is something to look forward to and dream about and to come up with some kind of a plan to make it happen. Going to Vegas during the main event. I like the sound of that.
Although I've been playing around break even for what seems a while, I've beem feeling positive about poker lately. I've been feeling like making some "investments" in stuff like a better monitor, poker tracker, a book or two, topping up my bankroll, or buying in at a new site. Plus I should really go down to my local casino and try out the cash games or tournaments there. Even if I lose, just go down, play well, and have fun.
