Default First final table ever!

PokerStars $2 NL that started at 10:30 EST.. my first time ever making a final table, if you feel like giving me encouragement, it would be greatly appreciated [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'm EtherealEcho.

Also, any tips? I currently have T118k, blinds are about to go up to 6k/12k, I'm in 6th place.

AJo in the BB, UTG who has me covered raises to 55k (10k/20k/1k), folded to me, I push. 6 players left, I'm in 4th for chips. I know UTG will raise light, even from UTG. Good push or terrible move?

It's read-dependant based on what kind of hands he's raising and how he reacts to aggression.

Echo- you played great. I was very much fearing your play. Way to take it home for 2 plus two, if I couldnt. -melbatoest

Thanks to everyone, and especially thanks to this board, and HoH [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I finally won a tournament, and in a kickass made-for-tv final hand, too:


I steamrolled this guy in heads up play.. he was way too tight and passive, and extremely easy to bluff. I restole from him a lot, and a few pushes preflop (with legit hands, mind you, but he didn't see them) caused him to fold after he raised a few times. That's why I pushed the 77 hand. I won $500 for a $2 investment and 5 hours of my time.. now I can afford new brakes for my car [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
