gg everyone. I was btbamatl, but my chat is suspended for 3 months so I couldn't say anything lol. Blinds got so ridiculously big at the end that it was a crapshoot, but I enjoyed it. Look forward to the October tourney!

GG guys

Good game everyone. I think there were a few hands I played suboptimally, in particular a few folds I probably should have made. I enjoyed the whole thing immensely and it was nice to see how it goes with 8 people who know the same things I do, and more.

gg all, good tourney prax. for the most part the play was way better than a typical $10 sng, so you can all feel proud of that. And Rusty and parallax can enjoy the extra $5 overlay [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

They sure earned it. Tho' maybe you should give it to Chips as a bead beat bonus - or just Bad trny bonus!

Or to yourself for the best shortstack play I ever saw in a Razz trny.

That's one way to look at it. Another is, I was ahead on 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th, and you briefly took the lead.

I limped the hand because I wanted to play it and I had a 9 up, and I wanted to play it for 1sb if possible instead of 2 (I had A29).

On 4th I doubted you were ahead and I didn't figure to be a bad dog.

On 5th I thought you had a mandatory bet, and considered it likely that you'd paired. I actually didn't figure your hand to be as bad as it was.

On 6th I am sticking with that and thinking you have a decent 9 high. If that's true any 3,5,6 or 8 will win it for me a fair amount of the time. I have 12 outs, which is about 2:1 but let's say I only win half the time, then I'm about a 5:1 dog and I'm getting 6.5:1 from the pot. And I did think I'd win more than half the time, so I called.

I chickened out on 7th.

Also I should probably add that I thought limping 3rd would induce a completion out of a worse hand than normal, and well, I've read your posts and I know you are going to play pretty aggressively in a situation like this, so I didn't think I could automatically fold 5th, even though statistics would probably show that I was a 2:1 dog or worse.

ya rusty had that hand praix =p
I fold 4th when faced with a reraise. I also don't bet 4th either. Your steal failed.
