$150 Party NL, thanks for the encouragement

Donbuttons and I made the final table together in last nights $150 Party MTT. I ended up taking 4th and Don took 5th. We both were knocked out on the same hand. Don was terribly short stacked. I had him coverd with twice as many chips. A big stack raises 2BB, I move all-in, Don goes all-in. I felt pretty comfortable with my QQ versuses Don's random hand. Then another stack went allin. I was worried about him and rightly so. He flips AA. Don has, I believe, AJo. Four diamonds hit the board, I have the Q, big stack has the ace and were out.

Thanks for all the 2+2ers support. I know that I don't have the reputation,or the noteriety as Don, Davidross or MLG but a few players do recognize me as a 2+2er. I have done very well in the MTT since January. I came in 6th in the $200 buyin Saturday Special and a slew of ITM finishes from $250 to $800.

I know that this board has definitely helped my MTT game. Even though some of the topics are extremely contentious, they bring some excellent contrasting views.(i.e. MLG and Sirios views on early tournament strategy. I feel both have excellent rationale for their style of play)

Thanks again and see you all on the tables,

Stipe

Congrats! Making the final table of a big one always feels great. I'm sure the money doesn't feel bad either... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I saw that hand. What a way to go.

Congrats for a job well-done.

I had AKs btw! hehe

I would fold AJ in that spot considering the range of hands you would push all in behind his raise.
