I watched this happen and still can't believe it. Thought I was seeing things.

Irish Se7en · #4 (**permalink**) 05-27-2008, 12:26 AM

Had the opportunity to watch the AT vs AK hand. I was wondering why W didn't put you all in to collect the bounty.

Then watched you continuously skirt tournament death, over and over. Every time you survived all I could do was say "Wow."

Then I observed bu lose that hand and couldn't believe he made that play. I believed he had the best hand prelop and even the goal is to cash, I think he was looking forward to more than 3rd place. I would have hiked up my skirt and folded to cash preflop but then I could have seen myself pushing in that situation preflop too. (hope this doesn't sound too critical because it isn't my attention)

You were the weed that wouldn't go away, then the Roundup came in the form of the 2

imthatguy · #6 (**permalink**) 05-27-2008, 04:52 AM

I was laughing the whole way through this. Nice to see you cash after being down. Also, nice to know that w didn't know about the bounty, and was kicking himself later.

noelsarchs · #7 (**permalink**) 05-27-2008, 06:19 AM

What's really funny is that you got a break by not getting pushed all in for your last $1 on the first hand. He left you with one chip and two others are probably now cursing as both went out on the bubble so to speak.

jdunford · #8 (**permalink**) 05-27-2008, 07:38 AM

Wow! That's just amazing!

Reminds me of my most frustrating live tourney loss. Heads-up, my opponent was down to less than a big blind. Was all-in blind and doubled up twice. Then he won 6 consecutive all-ins (5 were from behind, including two pocket pair vs. pocket pair). Took about 20 minutes for him to come all the way back and beat me. I'll never forget it.

littlebu · #9 (**permalink**) 05-27-2008, 07:43 AM

Yes I shoulda just folded. Yes I wanted some chips for when Jojo busted to have some chance. Yes I was on tilt from a disgusting series of knockouts on FTP. Yes I am a donkey. Yes it was a retarded play.
