Okay, so being prescribed anti-depressants doesn't come with the social stigma that it used to in years gone by. Like most medications available on perscription, many of them have side effects.

The side effect that I experience with my particular subscription is drowsiness. Which, given I'm an insomniac, isn't a drawback!

But after today, I'm having serious second thoughts. Either I'm going slightly mad, or I've experienced another side effect — complete and total memory loss. The last PaD GoG freeroll I entered was Monday night, I bust out early doors and didn't have the heart to bother editing and uploading my recorded footage to YouTube. But I'll probably be including it in some sort of PaD GoG near-misses compilation as the excellent series draws to its close.

Anyway, imagine my surprise when I logged in today, when I opened up my account page and clicked tickets expecting to collect my daily Freebie (Thursday is battle royale day, and that format is starting to become a favourite of mine, especially since I can play it free if I limit myself to the free tickets every other day).

Road To Paradise—or Road to Amnesiac Hell?

Where the hell did this come from!?!?! So one of the PaD formats is giving away these tickets—there were 700+ $6 paradise super-sat tickets, then 10-ish $60 paradise satellite tickets, and finally, a couple of $600 main event tickets. Not a bad little prize pool for a freeroll, $10,000 or thereabouts (think Monday's was $10,002), even if the 25bb starting stack makes it a bullsh*to bingo all-in fest for the early levels. Monday was the last one I played. I totally forgot to register last night, and only read the notification that the next episode of PaD GoG was available (password enclosed) shortly before the freeroll was due to begin.

So, here's the thing... if I didn't register! How come I've gotten one of the final table prizes? Are GGPoker giving these tickets to everyone? Is it a deposit bonus (I'm doubting that. I've already got a kickstart ticket for that earlier this month).

Or, and this is what I'm scared of, did I take my meds and then woke up with total amnesia? And there are other signs that this might indeed be true—it looks like I tried to make something on the grill, and the sink is caked in burnt crumbs and grease; it was totally clean yesterday afternoon!

Help!!!!

OMG OMG OMG I qualified! I made a mistake with dates, thinking that the 4th Dec 00:00 deadline for my ticket meant the end of Monday. Nope, thank god I checked, because with 5 levels already gone in the last satellite before this main event begins, I realised it expires TONIGHT! So I had to quickly use my ticket buying in at the first break whilst still on the train home... Talk about short stack shuffle, but I brought it home and got a $525 ticket into tonights tourney! WTG me!

Here's the video of my short stack shuffle to the finish! A masterclass if you don't mind me saying so

Your comment about 00:00 being the start of the day is the reasons that train orders are never issued for that time. 23:59 or 00:01 are OK though.
Cool video
