Stalking the wild sure thing

Every now and then, I come across a tournament in a delightful state, when there's oodles and oodles of dead money and not much time remaining in the late registration period. In such circumstances, your odds of making the money shoot through the roof. This is as close as poker provides to a sure thing. That's just the situation I found myself in last night, in the second tournament I entered. Unfortunately, there was a rush of late entrants, and I failed to make the money partially due to that. I certainly didn't regret being a late entrant myself. I'll continue to stalk sure things in the poker wild :-)
