My kingdom for an orbit

Sometimes, you know you're going to make the money in an MTT. Other times, you know you're going to just miss making the money. The closer you get, the more it hurts not to make it. It really hurts to know that it you could just drag your sorry poker carcass around for one more orbit of the table, you'd make it, but there's no way in hell to do it, since you don't have enough chips for the blinds.

This is an excerpt from my January 13, 2017 post. I played three tournaments last night, and didn't make the money in any of them. My best chance was in the third one, but I fell one orbit short.
