Hey All,
Sometimes....you have to "go for the glory". And sometimes....that can be a mistake. Being a micro level player, I've built up a small BR thru many freerolls and .50 and $1 tourneys.
My biggest step up was today. I passed the level 6 venom satellite and got the $630 level 7 seat. My biggest mistake (which is in hindsight), is that I opted not to go for 2nd place in level 6 and get the Guaranteed $215 cash. Instead of taking the profitable fall, I went for the win and WON the LEVEL 7 $630 ticket.
Now enter level 7, winner gets the $2500+ venom main event ticket. This is where the big moment got the best of me. I completely bombed it, punted it away. Didn't raise preflop with my Axs. The pots I did raise and got called on, I didnt make the continuation bets and let my opponents catch up. Didn't protect my blinds in obvious steal situations. Basically my game that got me to this level was nowhere to be found. Got out last place for $0.
What would you have done? Taken the $215? Have you played way above your league and gotten an amazing result?
