Re: Eliminated Just Out of the Money? Worse feeling?
It does suck - my last $20 tourney I went out in 132nd place, top 130 made the money. I was in about 60th place at the time, got dealt KK, raised, BB called. Flop came AAK. BB bets, I raised all-in, BB called. He flips over AK so his full house beat mine. Felt like crap after that one - had I won that hand not only would I have been in the money but I would have been in real good shape to make it deep into the tournament. It definitely sucks after 3+ hours of concentration to get beat on the bubble like that.
I used to play just to make the money but now I'm trying to be more agressive and actually play to win. Because of that I have to accept I might go out on the bubble in an attempt to put myself in position to win the whole thing.
