New shootouts to Event #10 WCOOP

I think there are a few of lurking around to give you moral support Kiko.

Well thanks for the support, but this is taking way too long to get to the final table. I have to work at 2PM and leave around 1:40. Crap, I definitely won't be able to finish the tournament. I guess I should have been thinking ahead when I registered. Darn. I'm in Fink's situation now. Oh well, I'm just happy to make the final table. Hopefully I will be able to make 4th place and make some money.

I wish I could just skip work, haha.

This is interesting. The final table is just a whole new SNG. I've never watched a double shootout, so I just figured that we all play with the chips we won, but every gets 1500 chips and the blinds are 10/20.

Well, unless this final table lasts less than 40 minutes (which I highly doubt), and I don't get knocked out, I will have to sit out. Oh well, maybe next time.

if you do need to leave before it ends tell them you will brb dont tell them you have to go to work then they might not try to blind you out and may manage to sneak in to the $$$

Doesn't always seem like when you are really on your game and the cards are really falling your way you aren't able to keep playing?

I sat out with 6 players remaining, and my chip count was just below the chip leader.

You finished in 3rd place (eliminated at hand #2352149164).

246 hands played and saw flop:
- 9 times out of 53 while in small blind (16%)
- 22 times out of 53 while in big blind (41%)
- 19 times out of 140 in other positions (13%)
- a total of 50 times out of 246 (20%)

Pots won at showdown - 10 out of 13 (76%)
Pots won without showdown - 27


Well, I really like those stats. 76% pots won at showdown is pretty good, at least for me. Grumbar, your exactly right. I was on top of my game and getting decent cards. I never really made any mistakes. The only one I can think of is this hand:

PokerStars Game #2351409401: Tournament #11336620, Hold'em No Limit - Match

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 800 | Rake 0
Board [Kc Td Jd 8s Kh]
Seat 2: diehardmick (small blind) showed [7c 9d] and won (800) with a straight,
Seven to Jack
Seat 3: cky12 (big blind) mucked [Th 9h]
Seat 4: FunkyRag folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 8: Ac3sWiLd (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)

It probably wasn't too smart to be calling with bottom pair, but #1 diehard had been calling my big blind preflop then betting the flop and stealing the pot a lot. #2 he only bet the minimum the entire time. That is really the only mistake I made (except for going to work, lol). I was really on top of my game and truly felt like I could have won the entire thing. Oh well, at least I made the money. Thanks for the support everyone.

I'm just wondering why you sat out instead of starting to move all in every hand hoping to get lucky?
