Ace obviously sucked HU trying to bluff at the wrong times and calling when he knew he was beaten.

It was funny how he rufused a deal 3 handed but once he realized he was outclassed he gave in. But congrats do both of them.

Re: How not to deal at the final table
 

If you aren't good heads up then push every hand. Don't agree to a horrible deal and admit you are no good heads up. How he made it to heads up is beyond me.

Calls all-in with QT suited for almost his whole stack and loses. Calls an all-in next hand with K5 os. Great way to blow tens of thousands of dollars.

If so, hes smart to accept the deal. Especially if money are meaningful for him.

Missed it, but could he have at least tried to get more? If I were him, I would've asked Lee to do the ICM calc and then said that that's ridiculous and I clearly needed more (quickly, before the other guy got a chance to do the same [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). Then I would have grudgingly settled for the ICM deal.

Re: How not to deal at the final table
 

maybe he didn't even know about ICM calcs? sounds like he was a noob that luckboxed his way to the FT.
