2011 WSOP Main Event Fever

I got it, I got it good. All I can think about for the past week is the World Series Of Poker and winning a ticket to the Main Event.
There are so many options to, playing free rolls on Full Tilt, moving up steps, entry tournaments with small buy ins. Plus the promotion running on PokerVT.com
Today was a day of small gains and huge blunders however. I played in a 35,000 entrants $1 buy in tournament on Full Tilt which paid out 3 $12,000 prize packages to the WSOP Main Event (ME). I ended up getting knocked out around 998. Not fun to make through such a huge field and then go down with nothing but to have the "dream" continue waiting for the next tournament next week.
I also played in a tournament for members of PokerVT shortly afterwards on Pokerstars, it didn't last more than 5 hands and I was the first person knocked out. The winner of this and next month with points totals gets a seat into a Sit and Go (SNG) tournament on Las Vegas versus 5 other members and 3 professionals with the top 2 from that getting seats into the WSOP ME as well. Bummer... good thing the points are based on cash pay outs and bounties, so if I win one of them and get a few bounties I still have a fighting chance for the month.
I should have just called it a day right there, but the SNG weekly members PokerVT tournament started shortly after that. With the winner of that getting a seat to the above named SNG in Las Vegas as well I just couldn't help loading up a few games. It didn't fair well either, I was in dream land and not playing smart, I took 7th, 7th, 6th in the 3 games I played. Which means If I event want a chance at the seat for this month I basically have to win 4 of the next/last 5 SNG's I play for the month. If not then there is still a chance for next month.
Still a chance for the free rolls I have been playing, I have a few round 2 tickets and might get there that way. All said I figure I have at least 12 different chances to win the seat into the WSOP ME, but today kinda eliminated 3 of them.
On other fronts there is a $100,000 tournament package free roll being offered on Full Tilt to the Onyx Cup and I made it to the final game being played on May 1st... which again causes me to "dream the dream" about what could be, only if, etc.

As far as my 3-5 year plan of making it to the WSOP, it is now 2.4 years since I set that goal for myself and feel okay about how I am doing. I am learning more and more every day/week/month and am learning from most of my mistakes. Now if I can just settle down and focus when I am playing the qualifying games to these huge opportunity tournaments I might, just maybe, could possibly get there this year, earlier than I had hoped for originally.
