nice performance...
I was just wondering why you get involved your last hand (pocket 9s ). I could only imagine playing them on the button or just with a call and hoping to hit a set on the table. When your so far in the torney with still a good stack (8 th out of 15th) I would not have put a lot of money on that hand, better waited for a better one.

Posted by Sorin888: In the final stage of o MTT you need some luck to reach FT. You lost against a better starting hand so not much to complain about software. Good luck
That's for sure.
Luck really comes into its own in the latter stages.
That's a very nice run though - unlucky to get dominated so bad in the final hand.

Actually even though I'm in 8th the stack wasn't that great, about 15bb.
The situation was I was in the small blind and it had folded round to me so it seemed like an obvious shove. What were the chances of bb having a better starting hand?

This indead makes a difference.
On the small blind it s explainable to go all in with pocket 9s
Also it s quite exveptional that your in 8th position out of 15 with just 15 BB, that s why I was thinking that I would not go all in with 99
But knowing this i would probably have done the same
