Good news: I cashed for $24k today and profited in the WSOP..not much though. I'll figure out the #s tomorrow...my brain is fried right now.

Bad news: I busted from the main event...in a pretty sick way. I'm almost too embarrassed to say the hand but I don't feel bad about it because I went out swinging instead of waiting for big hands. I also went w/ a read and it was wrong..it happens.

Anyway I had 235k, w/ avg around 350k, playing 3k-6k. TD announces 3 more hands for the night and I opr/ w A9s ep to 14k and get called in 2 spots. Flop comes 6h5c3h, I normally c/f the flop but decided to cbet 24k thinking both guys will want to make it to day 5 and will fold a lot of their range there and also my hand looks strong cbetting into 2 there...anyway 1st guy folds, 2nd guy w/ exactly the same stack as me raises to 60k and I think about how he threw in his chips preflop (he called quickly out of turn preflop and quickly after the guy in front of him called so I deduced he had a medium strength hand but not a premium hand eg small-med pps and JTs, QJs typish hands), and I tank and I'm pretty sure (over 90%) that he's folding everything but 2pr+ there (he 3bet and folded QQ preflop and 3bet and folded on the flop earlier) and I deduce that he has 22-TT here mostly and was raising to protect. Anyway again I'm pretty sure he's folding all pps here that isn't 33, 55, 66, so I decide to jam for 160k more and he calls w/ 55 and it's gg me (had 1 ante left and that was agonizing). Obviously I feel like an idiot when hands are turned over but I went w/ my read and it was wrong, plain and simple.

Anyway I finished the series w/ 5 cashes and am up a little. Again I'll figure out the #s tomorrow because it always feels crappy the moment you bust out of the main event and don't feel like doing anything. I'm happy to make everyone money, even though it wasn't much. Maybe next year (when I'm not dusting off my chips!).

Edit: Just off the top of my head, I cashed for about $41k and didn't play in $10k of events (so you'd get back $120 for every 1% you had of me + your % of $41k) so 1% returns about $530. #s aren't exact because I'm basing this off the top of my head. I will compute exact #s tomorrow and ship back same method I received. Eh, looks like I made investors very minimal profit..about $20 for every 1% you had of me.
