We have some Forum Representation late in a 24+2. Myself and GTKID are in the mix with 12 left of a $40,000 guarenteed satellite. If either or both of us make the final table, we'd love some support.

I had about 30% of the chips in play going to the final table, and I was in great position to make the top 3. I was playing tight, trying to stay about where I was at which was enough chips to have the average stack when it got to 4 handed. I was raising a lot with my good hands, not wanting action because I simply didn't need action. More chips at a risk of being outdrawn did me no good. With GTKID out, I put in a large raise with TT. I got a caller who had a lot of chips who had limped in and the flop came 7 5 4 which was beautiful for my tens. He checked and I overbet the pot; a large portion of my stack. He quickly called. I planned on moving all-in no matter what the next card was asmy opponent had more than half of his money in the pot already. The next card was an 8, he checked again, and I thought... would he really play a draw for that much money? I went all-in, and he quickly called and flipped over A6. From there, I was in a bit of trouble, I was now the short stack at the table. I was playing aggressively now, knowing a lot of players would be trying to move up into the top 3 and it was working. I put in a raise for 1/3rd of my stack with the QT. A player who had slightly less than me thought for a long time and then moved all-in. If I folded I'd be down to less than 8 BB, but if I called and won I'd be in third place with 4 remaining. I took a chance and called, and luckily he had 77. Unluckily, I got no help and was gone in 5th. |

Yup, I watched the final table, and was pained to see the tens get drawn out on  . It's ok - it'll come back to help you one day, grip. It's poker karma!  |
