Got 3rd. Top 6 win the gold coins.

Buy-in: 1,000 GC for 2,000 chips.

Prize: 11,700 for third.

You could rebuy once; same ratio. At first break; They let me do something called 'add on' which let me add chips on even though I didn't go bust.

39 players.

I like the tournament style; but it came close a few times; at one point it was 'win this hand, or bust', then I had a decent hand in 5th, decided if I lost that hand, I'd still get a prize, so I went all in. One guy called. I felted him, and survived long enough to watch another player get knocked out. At that point it had been like an hour so I was pretty bored and ready to call it quits so I went all in with A10o get called with KJo, and he makes a jack pair on river card.

I like the tournament style a little better than cash game style, because it means more when you felt them. I can imagine a real tournament at a live game would be a nightmare to navigate. I hear they get hundreds of people per event. That would be such an obnoxiously long time to play poker that I don't think live tournaments are in my future, despite me liking the style more.

I have needs; cigarettes; coffee...and flipping between tabs watching Doug Polk, Blackrain79, and Brad Owen videos.

Top 50 make $$$.

67th never felt so bad.

Mod merged threads; 2nd post is real money....for clarity.

OP I am posting here because I feel bad for you that nobody posted in your thread but I do have to say that nobody cares about your participation and poor finish in these tournaments.

I do care

You'll notice after flopping the nuts I waited to call him. Gives the illusion that I had to think about it; that I wasn't sure.

When the possible flush draw flopped, I didn't really care; but would have folded if another spade showed up. Then once I had him committed to the pot; getting him to go all in at the end was easy.

I'll get the actual nuts one day. Not today; but one day.
