In response to the first post about being more upset about coming 2nd, if someone stated i would never win again but would regularly make 2nd places, i would be a very happy man, it is SO hard to make final tables of any kind these days, there is a massive amount of variance and luck and no one gets there but just relying on pure skill.
Making final tables to me is the key achievement because if i am doing that, i am playing well. ITM is great, final tables are awesome, more FT and obviously greater probability of that elusive win.
Good luck all
