Never give up (LC)

[Costanza]

To show that reading this forum and studying with SnG Power Tools can turn a loser at the $5.50's into a competitor at the $22's:


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter

CO (t1705)
Button (t1010)
Hero (t185)
BB (t570)
UTG (t3655)
MP (t875)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t185 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Final Pot: t285


A move I just wouldn't have made 6 months ago that seems such an obvious play now. I'm just glad he didn't call me, or the tournament probably wouldn't have ended like this:
