Haha. Yeah...

In the last few weeks I've just gotten to the point where I laugh at em. Laugh, sign, and load up another.

:cheers:

1st hand... is that your standard play preflop at that point in the SnG?

Yeah, reading it again now, I believe flat calling on that flop is not the best play?

I think slowplaying to go for the stack-off isn't best in this spot. I think I ship it here, possibly get it all in, but I'm happy to take down the 600 and change in the pot at this stage of an SNG.

Cause what if an A/K/Q rolls off? Or another T on the turn? You still getting it AI?
