Thanks to all that stopped by.

3 handed was fun and interesting but I made a couple mistakes and it cost me.

Finished 3rd

FWIW I didn't see any mistakes. Ran into a couple of monsters but going for 1st is the right thing to do. It was fun sweatin you.

Thx again!

I was specifically disspointed in pushing with only a Flush draw and 2 overs when I had the chip lead. He called with top pair of 5s and I missed.

The other hand that was tough was the AKx vs A5x that I got lucky on and split after the 5 flopped. He goes on from that point to win. Ouch.

The last hand wasn't pretty either. Sitting in second I could've been more conservative and folded my 77 to his raise but I put his range as pretty huge. I may have cost myself second place but I can't see folding 77 3 handed.

Yeah the Ak-A5 was brutal.

I actually liked your 77 call only from personal bias. A couple of months ago I was in the final 3 in a $10 tourney for about the same prize $$$ your were playing for and I totally choked and played like a wussy. In particular I folded 77 to a person that I put on a wide range of hands (of course he may have had QQ too [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]). So, I liked your aggressive play (flush/overcard hand too) just because that is the type of late tourney play that I am working on in my game.
