Bodddders, you are not alone. I and my other half have done 6 live events, and I"ve not made it past day 1 either - the closest I"ve got is 23rd in Dublin and 20 mins before the end of day one.
What could be considered embarrassing for me is that Caz (my other half) has made three day 2"s and monied in each. To be honest, I"m more proud of her than embarrassed for my own ineptitude
Stick with it Bodddders, we"ll make day two before long, we might even make it to a final table.
