Yea I only had 70k and utg raised - he was not an issue because he was playing over half the hands. I shoved in the sb and the bb called with AK. The original raiser folded - I know I was good there.
The min cash was only about $274 - first place pays $10k. I couldn't let me stack keep getting shorter just so I could bubble for a min cash - I needed to more than double my stack with a hand like that in that position.
I know it was the right play - but damn it hurt to bust there.

You've been playing good, the cards just aren't falling your way. Shove with Queens was for sure the right play...lost a coin flip,, the pain will go away in a few hours. Hang in there, hopefully the cards will swing your soon. You're overdue.

Hey - the pain is still here this morning lol. Playing for 11 hours and having a chance to take the raise, the blinds and the antes - or end up with about $170k after that hand - still hurts hehe.
But it won't impact how I play today. Back to the PH 11am today and will give it another go!

Those bubble bruises hurt for a while , all the best for your games today if you can make it to the bubble you can make it to the final table . That flip goes the other way and we would probably be talking about that today.

Definitely - winning that hand made me a contender for sure. The final table money was pretty good - especially the top 3 spots.
I am out for redemption today!
I always feel bad after playing this many tournaments with no cash - have had a few close calls. But at least I have been smart with our money and we will definitely have some left over.
I plan on cashing in the LOFO anyway

Only mistakes you seem to be making is losing coin flips and those are out of your control.. Especially since you are flipping properly at the right times. When you go into flips you gotta let the deck know you are suppose to win =)
"Just a warning, I run pretty good in these flips"
The deck hears that and some how re-arranges its self so you win... It's quite amazing!
GL keep playing like you are and you are bound to get a very good cash

It folded to me on the button and I had KQ with only 7-8 bb's so shoved. BB called with JJ and it held up so I am out.
On a positive note I consoled myself on the Beach Boys slot - put in $100 and cashed out $400 - took about 10 min max. I hit over $300 on a bonus spin - was only playing .40 a spin lol.
Gonna chill in my room for a while then go back out - planning to be in bed early tonight. Tomorrow is going to be a fun day!

Sorry for no updates today - I have been in the Team Cardschat thread and in twitter all day.
I busted right before level 4 ended. I briefly considered re-entering - but would have only come back in with 20 bb's. Considering I ran bad and played bad I decided it was not a good idea.

I have only had 4 hands this entire tournament.
ATs - win a small pot
55 - lost chips
66 - folded
AQs - played and lost
That us it lol. Every other hand has been total crap or average and out of position. The 4 above are the best 4hands I have had.
