How I Outlasted 5 Whole People in the FTOPS Sat (Jude)

Yep, 5!

As I sat at the computer scratching my head over my ridiculously early exit from the FTOPS Razz sat, I decided to go through the hands to see if I could've done anything differently. My conclusion? I still don't know. I played few hands, but the ones I did go with burned me. It really came down to these 4 hands. Sometimes the cards just don't fall your way, I guess. So disappointing.....
