BBT Final Table

I can't find the words to describe how bummed I am right now. I ran great in this tourney and couldn't get the TOC seat. I came to the final table with the chip lead, took out a short stack's AK w/KJ, and it all went to shit after that. Whenever I made a raise with a marginal hand, I was reraised. When I had a hand, my raise was called and I totally missed and they hit. There was one spot where I'm not sure if I made the right play.

6 players left. I have 52k or so.
Blinds were 1200/2400
All in at 420 rs to 6000 from the cutoff.
Button folds
Ftrain pushes all in from the small blind for 54k
I have 52k in the BB w/TT.......and fold

I'm questioning myself here. 420 was raising a lot of hands which would open Ftrains shove range. Looking back, I think that I should have called. I was definitely shoving over 420's raise but hate to be the caller w/TT. Winning that hand would've put me back in the chip lead and maybe a run to the final 2. Any thoughts?

Invitational Freeroll Thoughts

Just wondering what it takes to get an invitation. Are the blogger invites going to be the same every week or will more bloggers get the opportunity to play subsequent weeks?

Vegas Plans

I bought my plane ticket tonight. I will be staying at the Flamingo from June 15-21. My tournament schedule looks like this:

Wed 16th Venetian $340 NLHE
Thurs 17th Gldn Nugget HORSE $230
Fri 18th Binions HORSE $500 or Venetian $550 NLHE
Sat 19th WSOP NLHE $1k or Venetian $340 NLHE
Sun 20th Venetian NLHE $340

BBT5
It looks like there will be another BBT after all. I was hoping that there would be some sort of prize for the overall points leader but it looks like the invitation only tournament wouldn't allow that. Hopefully I can win my seat and make a run in the MTT.

Good luck to all!
