Thats the toughest thing to do but one of the most important in MTTs. I know I can't do it worth a damn.
I'm sure if you played full tilt exclusively on friday and saturday nights, you won't have a tough time finding a soft game

The only reason I bet so much on QQ was because the guy I was in against was betting on all night and sucking out on the river
True, and if I can get a rakeback deal it might be worth it.
QQ is a great hand man. There are only 2 prelop hands that are better, and preflop your a slight favorite against AK.
I dno't think losing QQ to AK is a mistake. Just the breaks sometimes.
I have had the worst cards in my life tonight..I am seeing only 19% of the flops
Um, I only see about 19% on a normal night. In a tourney it drops down untill the later stages where I'm stealing blinds, but then I don't want to see a flop most of the time. I just want people to fold preflop.
But 19% in a tourney before the middle stages probably means you're seeing too many flops and playing too many cards.
I am coming back some..I bluffed my ass off on an all in
65 remaining, I am 700 behind the average pot size
Thats not in too bad of a shape really. Try to steal some blinds when you ahve medicore hands (k10, a8) but don't be afraid to dump them if you get reraised. If you hit a monster and double up, you're back in business, but if the blinds are high enough try to steal a few and you'll have a good stack as well. Then if you can at least steal one set of blinds per orbit, you can sit back and wait for a monster and hopefully you'll double up. But don't waste your chips away on marginal hands. Thats death.
I am up to 23%
I just lost my whole stack 2700 on one hand.
I had 5-6 of diamonds on the button, the guy to my left raised to $120, I called, a 5, 6 and 3 flopped, I bet the pot, $500, and the guy to my left raised to 1200, I went all in knowing I had him beat, because of his raise.
He turned over 10-10 and a freaking 10 came on the river.

i feel you.
That sucks.
Can I play?
Do you play online or in an actual tournament, I tried going to the site it looked like a bunch of crap all the links led to the samething.
You can play. We play on PokerStars.com You have to download their software then intall it. Then you can make a deposit.
Speaknig of which, lets get another tourney setup.
Who is in? Maybe we can make it a weekly thing.
I like the idea of a weekly ST tourney
Ther guy that knocked me out of the tournament finished 3rd and won $2500 ...glad to see my chips do someone some good.
That's your 2500 Jim.
I'm up for a weekly S&G.
I just finished in top 4 in another Satellite Tournament to Saturday's $200+16 WSOP Satellite tournament.
There was a huge battle in the final 5 players as nobody wanted to be the 5th place guy, as all he won was $98. I finally knocked out the 5th guy with pocket 9s against pocket 5s.
The same guy that knocked me out of the last tournament and won $2500 in 3rd place, was in the final 4 with me, so we will be going at it again. I almost knocked him out earlier, had he called, because I had an A high straight and he folded to what would have been a bet to put him all in....I wanted his ass.
Jim, I think it would be smarter to play in a money tournament rather than a WSOP, try to win a seat to one of the 50k or 100k tourneys, and if you win money in one of those, play in a WSOP Circuit event rather than the Main Event, because now that 7000 people enter the Main Event, its basically a crap shoot.
Yeah, but I'd love to be there just to be there.
Hmmm, I think you have alot better odds in a circuit event rather than the ME, plus a circuit event is cheaper, most of the same pro's will be there, less fish players will be entered in the tourney, so less possibility of a bad beat to end your tourney.
But I do understand what you are saying Manny, I definitely wouldn't mind playing in the ME, even though I'd have to get extrordiarily lucky to win it, or even cash in it.
Man, I'd want to just be at Helmuths or Matasaus table so I could knock one of them out. That would make my day.
