| | | If you're not first, you're last...REDEMPTION!!! (aka 3rd time's a charm)
SOOOO close...but no cigar 
I'm happy it was a good return, but I felt like I had it heads up...kept 2:1 to 3:1 lead for most of heads up...then it took 2 hands to finish me off...in retrospect, maybe I played it too fast.

Yeah, there's nothing like that feeling of getting the First Last Place. 
It's still a nice bankroll bump from an $11 investment!

Shot at 2007-07-11 | Could you have chopped it if you wanted to? Not that you would have with a 3:1 advantage though. Still an awesome finish. Can you post the hands that were your downfall? |

a 118/1 return on your investment is nothing to be dissapointed about. i don't play for money (online, that is) very often but i usually can come from behind to win h/u when the opponent seems like they just want it to be over. regardless i say congratulations. |

A chop never even crossed my mind  It wasn't mentioned and I forgot all about it!  I thought I could go back and retrieve the hand history, but I'm not sure if/how to do it...basically I got too frisky with Ace-rag and ran into AQ. And then on the last hand we both limped in with rags and I got too frisky when I hit 2nd pair. He hit a 9 for top pair and it held up. Basically I lost my mind and then the tourney Quote:

Thanks Josh! Actually it was a 70 FPP investment...I played one of those 70 FPP STTs where first place gets registered into the Sunday Hundred Grand...I won that, unregistered from it, and put the W11$ into this tourney  Quote:
