Re: The Official King of the Zoo NLHE Rebuy Thread - PW inside
wow, what a roller coaster.
Congrats to macattack4 for coming in first. I managed 2nd, and felt fortunate to make it that far. I was at the first table with Nick, who was going all in every single hand and then rebuying if he lost. It seemed like a golden opportunity to accumulate some chips. Sadly, he managed to spew chips in every direction except mine most of the time. In 11 confrontations, almost always with a 60% or better preflop, I only won 3 times. I figured that my luck would change sooner or later, so I kept rebuying. Eventually I went in for $171. Nick had to have made 40 or more rebuys, I'm not exaggerating. After the break, when I realized that only 3 places where getting paid, I started to think that it was money not so well spent. Somehow I managed to survive longer than many of the folks who got so many chips early, mostly from some good luck in key spots. Mac had a big chip lead on me when we got H/U, and really did a good job of not letting me off the hook. I thought I might have a shot with AQ allin when he turned over A7, but he got not 1, but 2 sevens to finish me off. Guess that I can't get lucky all the time. again, thanks to all who participated and congrats to Mac. Shauna

I feel fortunate to have won. I was chip leader with 9 players left, having done a pretty good job of accumulating chips at the short-handed table. I then had the suckout of all suckouts. I flop a set against two opponents (MattSuspect and Ghazban) on a monotone board. Unfortunately, my hand was third best in that Matt had the flush and Ghazban had a higher set. At the time, they both had Top 4 stacks. I then turn the 1 outer for quads. That gave me a huge lead and I was able to win from there. The most meaningful luck I have had at a tournament, hands down.
