Hmmm, still in, but lost my good position. Currently 508 of 1020 players. need a big hand for double up. 130k in chips, 8k bb and average is 167k guaranteed money atm $68
------------ Just out in position 626. was smal stacked with 6bb and got in against a guy who raised a lot of hands with A10s. Unfortunately he had AQ ans only another A showed up. Nevertheless I got $95 for my $11 investment, but would for sure liked to get deeper in this one.

Thanks for all your nice replies. Well at first I was a bit disappointed that I didn´t made it deeper in it. But now I am satisfied with my winning and placing 626 out of 34100 isn´t that bad.

Go for it Migo14, you can do it. Keep sutck to your initial strategy, to let yourself be amazed by what others can do, that can lead you into troubles. You know little bad beats can shake your stack a bit, so don't go on betting more than you think it's reasonable, and don't think about trying to look at some flops just because you have a feeling on your hand, that can cost you a lot of chips. You know how opponents like to make you pay to see some cards, apply them the same rule when you think you are on top of them. Update: i was writing before i realized you already come out. Still, you know you did your best and, in a game like this, you should feel proud for what you conquered. Congrats mate!

Good result nonetheless MIGO14. To go that far in a field that large you have to be doing something right. Keep it up and maybe next time your thread will end with you makinig the big mean green

yeah man have to agree with all the posters above- very nice roi, great performance and you should feel happy overall. sure it's hard to feel completely satisfied with your performance unless you win the tourney you play in, but generally speaking- when you show profit, you've done well, simple as that imho

That's still not bad for 600+ position although it's nothing compared to what you could have won. I've been there and it really bites to lose and it's hard to hang tuff through to the end. There will be more and your day will come when you least expect it. Still think you had to play a hell of a game to end up 626 out of that big of field.

Nice one MIGO a very good ROI....funny how the disappointment takes over the fact that you made a good win...but then the aim is to win big so understand your frustration, but its all good experience for the next one.
don't worry, i understand you 
You won $84 net profit 
You can always make it better, but it's still nice cash
