Please flame me for this one....

[johnnybeef]

I'm really not looking for cirticizm, rather just flame me publicly so I never fall into this trap again. Villain had been open pushing whenever he could get the chance, as had hero. I had been playing very well up to this point (had been at average for the entire tournament by utilizing steals and resteals) and there were about 135 left, 65 of which would cash

eh, takes the fun out of it if you want it [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

And if you had a read that the steal raise might work, then you did good. Unfortunate that you ran into a made hand then.

yea him raising half his stack = scary and not time for resteal.

Ack! Didn't pay attention to stack size, yeah, thats not a good time to resteal, even if he has garbage he is pretty much committed to call there.

as soon as i pushed i knew this (and im usually pretty good about picking up on this sort of thing.) it was just one of those times that you play brilliantly all tourney long to get within striking distance, lose a coinflip, make a bonehead error, and are on the rail.
