Only bad beats have the right to knock me out of the tournament:)

and there is no way that i prefer to be knocked out . .....maybe if i push all in and opponent has the better hand and wins

i hate it to be sucked out by 1-4 outers or runner runner

I'd have to say going out in second or third place, on a bad beat, with pocket aces.

If I have trips on the flop and the others have good pairs and you can go alli n right away if you see that they can see that their hand is better than yours.

My favorite way to get knocked out is to be ITM when I do.

I have won knockout tournaments several times. I admit it's very nice, especially when you get the entire bounty prize pool. But still, even in such tournaments, my strategy is not to play with junk and wait patiently for good cards.

The one where they bet flop and you go all-in with your remaining stack them holding nothing at all and they get the only 2 outs in the deck. gotta love it.. and it happens more than you think :D

And ofcourse the daily dose of stars being againts 4 people all-in with the best hand and some how being the only player to not have a straight do them all connecting it on the river ;).

But we keep going nothing we can do about it!

I'd rather go out being aggressive than making a crying call. Shoving those chips in there on the triple barrel bluff and feeling the sweat as your tourney life may come to an end.. I love that!

My favorite: it is anyone who makes me win, there is no specific one, but just as many times there are plays that are given to me either on the river or bluffing, it also happens to me the other way around and I am the one who ends up losing, So when I win anyway I try to take it easy, because anything can happen

Might as well change the image..

If I know I'm pressed for time, my favorite move is to play anything decent, shove, see what happens; show I can LAG as well as anybody else. This is a free-roll move, so I'm not out anything. And it feels good, changing it up, taking a chance; win or lose.
Today MTT QJ shove didn't work. But at least I had a relaxing pot MTT dinner, didn't rehash the move I could have made, etc.

As long as I know I made the correct play it doesn't matter too much to me - was I ahead of his range enough with the proper odds to justify the call? Did I have enough fold equity/pot equity to justify jamming?. Playing wrong and knowing that it likely cost me drives me crazy.

I think I especially like making big hero calls where my read was right with a weakish hand, and villain only winning due a lucky suck out.

I like busting a tournament when there's no one else left to play against - its the only way I like going broke!

My favorite way to get out of a tournament is when I clearly had the better hand and got kicked out unlucky. Then I can tell myself that I did everything right, but luck didn't play along, but if I play long enough, luck will also be on my side. Once I had a nut flash draw and a top pair with a top kicker on the turn card. I raised and my opponent reraised all in. Very easy call for me. He only had a bluffcatcher. I was the aggressor pre-flop and bet on every street. He probably thought I was bluffing. I definitely had an equity of over 91%. The last card got him two pairs and I was eliminated from the tournament. Nevertheless, I had the satisfaction of having done everything right.
