In holdem MTT, which one of these statements, in the main, is true.

#1 5th July 2007, 7:42 PM

Hi all

Just come out of a $20 buyin MTT on stars. 1053 entries, I placed 189 - just out of the money

I was really happy with my play. I got my money in with the best hands, got as much as I could with the monster hands and folded decent starting hands when I saw flop. I did take a few bad beats, being

1010 v K10 all in from shortstack with 7 times bb. He pushes in middle position, I`m on button. I pushed all in to lose the blinds - spikes his K on river
AKs v KQ all in push by guy with 1/2 my stack. He catches his straight.
AKs v KQs -We were both in middle position and both on about 6000 chips. He raises 3 times bb (1800) I shove all in. All fold to him. He catches Q on turn.

The nearest I came to being `lucky` was when I was forced all in by a shortie. He showed flush draw, 57, v my trips on flop. Again I was ahead.

To cheer me up, however, I have pulled together a poll to get a general view from you all. Please participate and feel free to comiserate with me about my bad beats

All the statements are true, at this moment in time but one.

You did just come out of a $20 MTT on stars, where you got at least those 3 beats while still being happy with your play. All true as far as we can see.

The untrue statement at this time is the poll part. There is no poll.
