I spent $30 on a $10 rebuy trying to into this, but I missed out by less than 10 places on the seat

If I"d known I could have had the pleasure of your chips company, I would have tried again

Des playing poker, have you ever heard anything so ridiculous?  

From someone who hasn"t had the pleasure of meeting you and buying you a drink (nor the other way around, obviously! ) what is your playing background Des ... ?

It"s amazing, despite the stack sizes, how quickly in a tournie like this you can put yourself on the line.  At least I had no trouble getting myself into that type of situation....

lol....I got to 45k chips in the FPP sat and more or less sat out for the last forty minutes.  30 took seats.  I"d have been happy to donk them off to someone who might know what to do with them this evening.

Does anyone play cards like  :as: jd from early position?  ...

Depends on your stack size - if you have a deep enough stack it"s  a good opportunity to trap aggressive players if you hit a very strong hand.

I would be your bang on middle of the road APAT player.  Enjoyed playing the game and watching it on the box, but could never find the "right" game, despite a reasonable amount of live experience....hence, APAT.  Shame is I don"t get to play now and when I do, I tend to donk royally as I enjoy just being there, whereas once, I was actually interested in winning.

ps - You are about the only APAT-er I haven"t been cooerced into buying a drink for    lol.....

...
- a total of 14 out of 85 (16%)
Pots won at showdown - 0 of 2 (0%)
Pots won without showdown - 13

I think these 3 stats are much more interesting than the flops from the BB seen.

Are you putting in many overbets when you see the flop?

No, standard three times.....but I"m benefitting from a tight image and the occasional underraise.  The pots I lost have hurt me however and I am a sitting duck now.....the challenge being to get my money in at the right time, the cards being secondary.

des,if you want to know how to win a big tournament .Lesson"s only cost one drink.

[Des_D]

lol, thanks Micky I will definitely take you up on that....meanwhile I"m in sherpa territory.....
