Mark,
I HATE to break this to you, BUT, if I'm not going to get any money back from a tournament I would MUCH rather get knocked out in ANY spot other than one from the money. There are no bragging rights coming in 11th, the rest of us who got knocked out earlier felt a WHOLE lot better than you did coming in 11th! I have been in the 11th spot quite a few times in tournaments over the years & it stays with you a while (as you now know!). As for you having to hitchhike home, I'm sure it was just an oversight on Bob Ginsburg's part not sending you that money. <VBG> Andy - Las Vegas
