My last hand with about 8 big blinds left when about 35 players in the tournament were remaing was 10 10. I felt it makes sense to shove because a double up would put me in the top 10. Ran into an AK and she flopped a K that beat my 10 10.
Think i played my best game, was only paid $0.95, but it was a freeroll and a lot of fun. First prize was $83.75 but im happy i cashed something.

I would have done the same thing, hell I would have done the same with 55, when the blinds are so high not mention the ante, that was a smart move.

Ok makes sense now, congrats on it, I made acouple of FT's in the 20fpps ones, and actually ended up winning the 10fpp one once...Those things are hard, and with the 5minute blinds (Well lets just say it makes things harder)..


About the shove itself, standard shove spot depending on where you were at on the table at the time+blind levels+Stack sizes

I think 1010 is a no brainer shove here. Did you push first? Congrats on a great run. It would have been nice to get that first place cash.

hey ddeely, i pushed all in first with 10 10, had like 8 blinds. And yes i agree with you first place of $83.75 would have been very nice.
