I didn't mean to go to sea

When I was about ten or so, I devoured a series of children's books written by Arthur Ransome about the adventures of four young English siblings who loved to sail and who called themselves the Swallows and the Amazons. The title of one of the books was "We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea". Somehow the children ended up putting out to sea without really meaning to. Something very similar happened to me in last night's session.

This is an excerpt from my April 14, 2019 post. It applies equally well to last night's session. I boarded the train before the midnight train without noticing it was a deepstack. Had I noticed, I would have picked a different tournament, since I've unofficially sworn off deepstacks. I narrowly missed the money, bubbling in 25th. The silver lining? I only lost $100,000 :-)
