I only got second twice, in playing like 6 times. But I don't have the fun anymore playing in those bitcointalk related tournaments, the quality of the tournaments is often just so week, it's not worth it to stay up that late just to lose against some clown going allin praying to hit their 20% or less chance. And once they hit they don't even show grace in winning and act like they did everything right. 
In the beginning it was fun but at some point it's just ridiculous how bad yet lucky some players in those tournaments ( not only this one ) are.
