ITM in $4,000 Guarantee PL Hold'em on Full Tilt

[bj316]

I'm a sucker for tournaments with pros or tournaments that don't reach their guarantee. This one missed the guarantee by $550.

I'm currently sitting 3rd in chips after a big hand with 16 remaining. I didn't even realize it was Pot Limit until the fourth round. LOL Been solid so far. Hope I can TID.

[bj316]

5th of 11 left... I have roughly 42k and the average is 39k. The only problem is I'm 5th of 5 at my table as the chip stacks have all congregated to one table... bleeech! I hate that.

unlucky at the end there bj, still, $300 is a nice payday, congrats

[bj316]

I probably didn't need to re-shove with the 88 there but he was raising my blinds every time and folding when i pushed back (the 3x I did)... I guess he woke up with a hand and I lost a coin flip. Gotta win coin flips to win tournaments.

I'm more upset about the Q-J hand not holding when I hit the flop on my short stack all-in. Always love a good comeback.

[DrJustice]

Keep it going, despite the dissapointment you booked a great result.

Congrats on your winnings.

[bj316]

Bankroll just broke $2600. It was at $2200 in January... this has been a painful few months but with my recent tournament success and new focus on Razz cash games April has been berry berry good!

I dunno whether hes a good player, but if Id folded to your reshove three times, I would never raise your BB again when Im not holding something good..

Anyways, very nice result and payday! Unfortunately he hit runner flush and the other hit the ace on the river.. Always sad near a win.. But take confidence out of this!

Congratz man, well done! Going to make the $4000 or what was it in June?
