ahh man 11th. How did you go from 650 to 300 something? I missed that.

raised with A6 to 51, guy to my left moved in for like 220 or so, I did the math, and went to click fold and... called. He had 66 and held (case six actually flopped). Really took my momentum from me, and I just couldn't get anything going from there.

That is one costly misclick.

Good game OSU, sorry for the miss click before, if you had more chips maybe the fives wouldn't have done you in.

I should have gone all in on the flop anyway, the pot was big enough, and my hand was too weak to get sneaky with. I don’t understand this game. Seems like its pretty much all luck. I got lucky to flop 2 pair, lucky that you didn’t have as many chips because of the miclick, got lucky you didn’t hit a heart, and get lucky that you didn’t have an ace that would of hit a bigger 2 pair. If I go all in I don’t have to get as lucky. It would have been better for me and you. The way it worked out, it put me in a position to win the tournament, but maybe in the long run, all in is the right move.

Congrats, I saw you went on to "win" via chop. I wasn't at your table very long, but I thought you played quite well.

My last hand, i'll probably do that every time. I'm very rarely in deep trouble, as most hands that have me in it you repop me with (AxTh or JhJ, for instance) preflop, or you put me in with them postflop (Jh9, e.g.).

I'm actually not that torn up about it today, unlike a horrible misplay I made last weekend to bust me out of FT's 200k in the money. The misclick sucked and really cost me, obviously, but I had no business being here. I was down to 3BB with 150 left, and 7BB with 120 or so left when I rivered a K to make my KJ good against A7. I'll certainly take this result, although 40k would certainly have been nicer.

Congrats again, though. Feel free to visit again and post.

Thanks OSU,

I had several good things happen at the end, including the hand against you. It's all luck, I'll give a lot of it back before it happens again.

We chopped 34k vs 29k, I'm okay with the chop, but I wish party did away with it, it was better before when there was no deal making, forces you to go for 1st.

good luck, see you around
