I have been playing at least one event at the roundups for the past 5 years. My results have been dismal. I like to call it the "annual $200 buffet" as that is my usual benefit from it. I would like to run through my last hands played to the best of my memory to illustrate the beats I have taken.
Q/10- Turned straight beaten by full house on river (2 times)
Q/10- 2 pair beaten by straight on the river (yes, I know quit playing Q/10)
A/A- Beaten by A/J on river (flush)
A/K- Beaten by A/Q
Beaten in horse tournament on razz round with nearly identical hands
Anyway, you get the idea. Last night was my best ever showing by lasting until 7:30 (started at noon). There were 560 players and came in around 150th. I was doing well at my table, but it was tight and only one elimination, so not a lot of chips in play. Got moved to a table with very aggressive players who had a lot more chips. Short stacked, was forced to call all-in with 9/9. Raiser had K/K and I was done. I felt that I played well with a couple of lapses, but overall did not make any major mistakes.. Just went card dead at the wrong time.

Believe me sir you don't know what "dismal" is. I'm very proud of you for going to far on Friday. Let's just say that I am currently attending remedial poker playing school and I MIGHT play on Sunday. I'm seriously wondering whether I should ever play again. You did great even if you didn't make the money. Don't even ask me about my day as I won't tell you - LOL.
