Congratulations!
Thank you for participating.

Should have won it with a 4 to 1 chip lead heads up - but his strategy of all in every hand proved difficult to crack and he outdrew me to win. Ho hum

Now i'll put a quid in the tin - i didnt have change for just the one..................

Unfortunately bad beats are the downside of putting your money in with the best hand constantly - but then at the end of the day thats what i want, if i can constantly get my money in with the best hand then law of averages says i will win more than i lose which in the long run should mean more profit!!

Embrace the bad beats and learn to carry on playing your a-game when they happen.
