Default Best Finish So Far

I think I'm finally getting the hang of MTT's. This finish came one day after I made the final 2 tables in an 11 dollar tourney with over 1000 people. I have to contribute some of my success to the people on this site as well as other forums. I must have read every single post on this site as well as many many more on other forums. Thanks a lot everyone and good luck.

Great Job!!! We are starting to collect a great bunch of players here on ace10.com and it would be really fantastic if we started collecting a lot of scalps to put on the post outside.

Did you feel like you were unbeatable or did you luck out so many times on the river it scared the crap out of you?

What would you say was the single most important thing you did today that helped you make the final table?

GREAT JOB, paul I'll answer that question for you on my tourney even though it wasn't asked, when the blinds were 1k/2k I had 12k and was an above average stack, another guy next to me had 10k, I shoved in early position with AK, guy called and had KK, flop came A52, that hand changed everything for me, the only other time I got lucky was when I had 2 people allin with 15 people left, I had AQ, one guy had A10, and another 10-2, flop came 4-10-2, turn came a 4, and the river brought my lucky Q, to pretty much double me up and put me over 100k in chips, besides that I didn't feel like I was playing great, but I didn't feel like I was playing bad, just playing above average, anyways this is to celebrate Waterfall so GREAT JOB again waterfall, many more to come i'm sure

I wasnt really getting lucky as far as catching cards, but I was lucky in a sense. Early in the tournament I was able to double up several times due to other players mistakes. I remember having QQ and 88 went allin, and another hand i have AKs and I called 2 allins and it held up. Its always nice to start on a table where people are just giving their chips away. The biggest hand for me occured when were down to the final 3 tables. I have J9 suited and the flop is JJK, it gets checked around and the guy before me goes allin for 70K which was a lot at the time. He had K8 so that hand moved me into the top 2 or 3. And after making the final 2 tables of a tournament 2 days ago but failing to move on to the final I was determined not to go out. Once on the final table I was able to sit back while the shortstacks were eliminated.
