OT: SICK bubble play: My luckiest game EVER!

[MegaBet]

Purely for your amusement. Maybe my luck has (finally) changed! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I had the worst run of cards ever in this situation, but look at the suckouts! I'm particularly proud of my A10 laydown in the BB...especially as it was my only decent hand in 20.

Anyone else think that there weren't enough pushes with mediocre hands? Seems like you got blinded down to nil, where you could have gotten your money in to at least steal the blinds a few times. Maybe it's just me...

Two of the players (the larger stacks) were VERY agressive with their raises and calls, and I had very little fold equity. That's why I wasn't pushing my 92's and 53's. The other shortstack was in just as bad a shape as me, worse in fact since he would be forced all in before me (one of the reasons why I layed down the A10). I was playing for 3rd at that point.
