luckly i take out a shortest stack when i get top pair on the button and the short stack though his 9 kicker was good now have 150 chips more than leader so might stop him trying to bully me

10$ for 2000 points

already invested 30$ +1$ for total of 4500 points

the sat is for the wcoop plhe main event 215$

after the pay out the seats the money is bundled into $33 and paid out

so i can make top 10 for 215W$ 11,12 gets 33$ and 13th 24$

the idea of the sats is to get in as cheap as possilbe so the extra $10 might cost me in long run if i dont need it

but it couls also be difference between quailfing or not

not that I am one to give advice to you, but I'd take it every time for $10.

Depends on how many qualify from the sat.

if it was a cash prize i would take it 99/100

but as i am only trying to squeak into 10th spot it makes me think should i as i am not trying to win this tourny

i understand, you are balancing the "i shouldn't need to" against the "but what if I just miss out" emotion

the modern day dilemnas of the online poker player!

Personally, I wouldn't take it if I was in your position. However, I'm as unsure as you as to whether I'm making the right decision or not.  ???

ok hand time

i have 24k average is 15k with 27 left and trying to get into top 10

on button with AJd EP raise i call bb calls flop Jc4s5s bb is the chip daddy and EP has about 18k

bb bets out on flop and EP comes over the top

how fast do you throw your cards into the muck?

i am just glad the EP went in with his QQ as i was going to come over top of the BB who had flopped a set

No I disagree.

Title: Re: do i take an add onn
Post by: Ironside on July 26, 2005, 11:14:51 AM
blinds are 400/800 i got involved with AQ flopped 2 pair and ran into a flopped set of 8s

so down to about 11k 15 left i am 13th of 15

i feel a bubble of 1 kind or another coming up

hard luck.  :-\

take the add on next time if you are going to insist on hitting two pair and top pair on flops and having to deal with re-raises!!!

ul on the aq :(

nah the AQ i didnt need to get involved preflop i could have posted and folded and just anbout scraped a seat i was looking for that extra few k to give me a bit of comfort

i refer the rt hon gentleman to the mantra i use approaching the bubble in these when short stacked.....dump it unless its AA, KK,QQ    ( or possibly AK but probably not) and try and crawl over the line
