I know that standard BTP regulations and etiquette dictate that I'm supposed to be all pissed off and whiny that I didn't win the thing, but dammit, the grin on my face is just too big right now to make anybody believe that I am pissed.




This was a really nice hand to secure a high finish at the FT.

Congrats on the great result!!

Well to be quite honest Nick, I probably should have been looking to double up with that hand PF, but I wasn't until after the flop. PF, I "thought", (and probably wrongly) that it would be better to just call the CL's raise so that there would be 2 of us in there to finally bust out the dude in 3rd place as he had managed to hang around and hang around and hang around some more the entire last 2 tables all the while folks with bigger stacks were busting to that CL and he kept inching further and further up the pay ladder. I just did not want to bust out 3rd and let that other dude fold his way to 2nd. Obviously, once the flop hit I knew I wanted to get it allin. I know I have a lot to learn, and I need a lot of work on my game but I was doing the best I could and thought I was doing the right thing at the moment.
