I wasn't going to play this, mainly because of the buy-in, but I know not to look a gift horse in the mouth, so the chance of winning us some money with no risk to myself, and also getting some Focus Points sounds a goodun, so I would like to put myself on your list of possibilities

Where on earth do you get your lines Sounds like something from a Bruce Forsyth gameshow !!

Good luck Samba

Back home in the nick of time, and registered!

Wouldn't transfer by FT again though - have to have minimum withdrawal of $50!!! Is this normal?

[GaF]

I'm not sure what the withdrawal requirements are in FullTilt but it's been confirmed that the money was transferred from my account to yours

[Guppie]

Yes mate.

You can transfer it back to me and I'll get it to you another way if you like

[Anita Kokinme]

Yeah mate, received the money fine, I just couldn't withdraw as there is a minimum withdrawal of $50

Samba,

You could deposit into Full Tilt so that you have more than $50 in your account, then withdraw it all.

59 minutes of good TAG play undone in one hand Sorry GaF?

fwiw, him calling my flop bet, I put him on either a flush or straight draw, with the turn seeming a brick, I wanted to push him off seeing a 5th card for his 'draw'.

Calling the re-raise was my only mistake in the hand (I think?).

[GaF]

Good try mate

[Anita Kokinme]

Disagree tbh. I'd have played it the same if I had paid for myself, and would have been beating myself up just the same.

My biggest MTT weakness, I have noticed (!), is going bust / being crippled in hands I wouldn't even be in, apart from the fact it has checked round to me in the BB.

I didn't have any need to go out there, last hand before the break, as I said it felt it playing easily enough [but there again, maybe that is because I had seen just 8% of flops, and won all 3 without showdown]. Suppose at least I have stopped going bust on TPTK, and now it takes top two pairs

I haven't read your hand history - made a point of it - I dont want to put any pressure on those I stake to play "my way" - I'm staking them to play their way

So a very general point ..... is TPTK really a hand to be embarassed about going bust with in a tournament? I know the reputation - but short stacked with escalating blinds, TPTK is a pretty good hand you can push all the way Going bust with TPTK in a deep stacked cash game (or early in a tournament) when deep stacked is criminal but TPTK has its place in tourneys

[Anita Kokinme]

Read the HH, I'm not scared!

I was in BB, checked round to me, a few in the pot, I had TJo, flopped top 2 pair.... unfortunately somebody else flopped a straight. I put them on a draw, and that was it.

My complaint about my apparent weakness wasn't a gripe about this MTT in particular, it is something I need to shed in general.

Just to clarify - I wasn't seeking your absolution for going out, so don't feel that I am hankering for a "don't worry, that's poker". Just airing in general a weakness I feel I have

My deep stacked post-flop play is sadly lacking, that is without a doubt the area of my game that I would love to work on the most, but without starting to play cash tables, I wouldn't know hot to go about it

UltGamb is one of the best (if not the best) tournament player on crpto, played with him a lot and he really has impressed me!
