Title: Patience pays Post by: Indestructable on September 28, 2006, 05:35:23 AM I got up at 3 for an Aussie Millions qualifier (they aren't the most convinent of times)
I made it to the last 5. Top 3 qualify for a place in a satelitte event and fourth pays $258. I made a few good moves and then a couple of really bad ones and now I am struggling. I am left with 300 chips and getting a bit of polite abuse as to why i hadn't gone all in and that it was the final table from hell. I was anted down to 150 and posted a reply of "not for long". next hand one of the other players goes all in with 9c 9d And is called by Qh Th Flop does nothing, but turn of Ts And I am in the final 4. Soon out, but $258 made it worthwhile hanging on. :D Title: Re: Patience pays Post by: boldie on September 28, 2006, 11:30:37 AM I got up at 3 for an Aussie Millions qualifier (they aren't the most convinent of times) I made it to the last 5.

Getting blinded down like that will get you bubbled more often than not. Try not to lose sight of your aim when you enter a satellite, which is to win one of the seats.
Title: Re: Patience pays Post by: Indestructable on September 29, 2006, 05:26:21 PM Fair point, although I did want to win but something happened along the way.
Main hand that hurt me was 8s 9d The board was Kc 8h 9s I had two pairs and was trying to see how much I could get out of the other player. Turn was neutral, but the river was Kd This meant my lower pair was useless and if he did have a King I was now stuffed. Maybe I should have played more aggresively to close it down. Anyway I am going to use my some of my win to have another go so fingers crossed. |
