lol you went in with only a pair. the average winning hand in texas holdem is two pairs.

sup guys, just started playing some tournaments on the semi regular after self banning from cash for a few months and really enjoying it. finding it difficult to make the transition from going deep to making final tables though, maybe its a bit much to ask over a smallish sample size

anyway, as its bbv, i'll go ahead and post a beat, fcuk yeah

Always seems like a good idea to play Rush MTT's when you don't have much time free and really want to play an MTT - problem is you run into the setups so much quicker and just wind up being pissed off, lol.

checked results, and even though this hand knocked me down to 10 bb's and vaulted villain up to 100 bb's, i still lasted longer in the tournament. small consolation after the huge equity burn, but i'll take it.

You'll get there! I see that you've already experienced the magic of Aces in MTTs
