You're getting ahead of myself! I have to make the money first...

Just had AA and ended up winning a pretty big pot. Really thought that was going to be the end of me, as per my usual.

First place pays $1248.

15 payers left. I'm second in chips with 25k.

lol TP always gotta believe your going to win 1st place...

Looks like your going to go deep into the final table aleast.

I'm out, short stacked and went in with a pair of 8's, got called by the BB who had 44, you guessed it he gets a 4. Like I said it always happens to me, but never for me, and you all wonder why I am angry all the time?!?

Had you played the KK hand better, maybe you'd have more chips and this suckout wouldn't have been enough to be a finishing blow. In fact, maybe he would have folded to your preflop raise.....?

Just a thought (I'm not even saying you played the KK hand badly - I'm just saying).

I'm in the money now. We're on break. I'm 2nd out of 12 remaining.

Got ran down in a hand that I was a 96/4 favorite after the flop that would have put me over 10G in chips, then a 2- outer to finish me off. I think the next deposit will be a while off, it's obvoiusly break time for me, but not till after the 9:00 rebuy at UB :D

He was short stacked as well and losing the hand would have crippled him. I had 900 left and he had 1600 with blinds at 100/200, not an automatic call for him I don't think. The facts don't lie though, I am one snake bit son of a bitch.

Well, looky here...
 

We have a new chip leader.

:D

And maybe if some dick for brains doesn't catch runner -runner str8 against my flopped 2 pr the story would be different. As it is though, the beat goes on.

Anyone watching is seeing some realy good poker right now.

We're down to 7.

ice in your veins bro
 

My new favourite poker quote.

And that's the end of me...
 

Finished 4th. Here was the hand that sealed the deal........

I have no regrets about how I played it. Even if I didn't reraise all in, I would have moved in on the flop. It's just one of those coinflips you need to win to take one of these things down. Had I won this hand, I'd be guaranteed third, and I'd like my chances. Oh well.

nice finish... how much for 4th?

Nice finish, can I get lessons some day? Or a bullet to the head?

Funny you should mention that, I'm playing in a $20 tourney at FTP that only drew about 60, 27 left now and I'm a bit outside the money spots.

$390. If that hand held up, I would have been guaranteed $200 more by eliminating the other guy. He went on to win it all, of course.... $1248. Just goes to show how it can all come down to a single coinflip sometime.

Good showing.
I really like those 6-seater tourneys.

That was my first.... I'm a BIG fan.
