I think it's funny that you're wigging out about losing with AK to A5s in a $11 tourney on poker room. When you lose with KK to 55 after flopping a set in the $1mil, then let's see those tears.

i find the best way to win a MTT is push all in with every hand. if you play an infinate amount of MTT's, you are bound to win one. and if its the sunday million, well lets just say you will be a very rich man!

God bless you.

Best laff I had this week was watching KK get rivered by 63off with a flush from nowhere at a final table.

and I won that MTT, btw. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Fairly deep into an MTT on the weekend, I was all-in pre-flop with QQ. I had one caller and was delighted to see he had AJo.

Flop was 99J.
Turn was another J.
River was a yet another J.

"TY, GG."

As a bonus, the winner was kind enough to call me a donkey as I left the table.

Same happened to me, but I had AK, he had AA. He gave me an encouraging insult on the way out, before the flop, too. The only thing i regret is not sucking out.
