Default Silly Tip #5

If you are playing a 500K or WCOOP qualifier, learn to lay down hands such as AKs and big pairs when you are on the bubble. Chip stack doesn't matter in these tournies and while it would be nice to knock someone out, LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT if calling away chips with the best hand could put you in danger.

Hey Crapshoot, read this, lol. I know that you know this Crap, but sometimes I don't think you can control yourself when you get a hand like KK. Frankly, I have never been in this situation. I went through a couple of days where I played a ton of satellites, but never did well, and I have never won a seat to anything, so I don't really know what it's like.

That happened to me twice in two days.

We were at about 55 people (top 45 or so make it), and I'm sitting just fine in 3rd place in chips at my table (8 people), something like 23rd or so overall.

Big stack raises, I reraise with KK, big stack reraises putting me all in.

Stupidly, I call, and each time he flipped over AA and my ticket was thrown away because I didn't listen to this rule.
