Best Of

This year I finished first in round 5, so waiting to play round 6 on Tuesday. I think success in 5 depends largely on the competition in your group. Last year I came up against a player who was moving so fast I had to play a party popper at every level to stay even with him. After 1.5 days, I saw that I was going to run out of gold bars so I quit. (I was also very worn out and couldn't see going all out for another 1.5 days). This year I sat out round 5 until there was only 25.5 hours left (I started on Friday morning). The competition I encountered was nowhere near the level last year. However some of them had been crushing for a whole day, and the leader had 42,000 blues, so I had to make up that deficit. I think next year I'll start round 5 (if I make it) on day 2. Three days of all out 24/7 crushing is just too much for me. Thoughts?
