yeah m8 il would be kicking my self for not pushing if i folded,
then again i would of notice i would of lost anyway , would of been a good fold i had another possible 11 more hands b4 the blind wiped me out if i did, maybe i could of made it if i folded just another six players to go
would 6 players go in the space b4 the blinds come back to me? so i make the money? we will never know,
i allways say to myself and is one of tactics never to push all in, when some one has pushed b4 me unless i have aces,
even if i did have aces i would of got beat
i dont know just one of though things what do my head in

Nice hand.
But what do you expect? With less than 2 BB you get called by anyone and his brother, cause you are no threat to their stack anymore. The BB was priced in to call here, and got lucky.

I agree, just bad luck in this hand but something went wrong before if you arrived so short at final stage

mna, what a beat...and 3 hours to get off 120 people? Man, that must be a test of the patience and the nerves, I don't think I could pull such a tourney off...even though it sounds really good, such a small field

eww that hurts if you play for hours and bust out that close to the money.
these VIP freerolls are awesome. i played the same (well on winnerpoker $2500), reached 5th ($175). i had the same stacksize as you...at end anything is possible cos the blinds insanly increase. busted out with KQ to AT: flop xKQ....i checked on flop and the guy shove all in i call ofc...turn or river hes got his J. think i should have gone all in on flop !?

Bad luck, of course. I feel sorry for you. I think in an older post you give an advice to someone (i don't remember who) that don't fight against big stacks, even more when you are near the bubble. So ... why don't apply your own valous acknowledgment next time?

what the fffffffff.............. are you for real do know how to play poker?
the blinds would of killed me i had to play this hand , and how was i fighting against big stacks, they all were fucking big stack????? i had a very good hand....

Be careful ... don't be so aggressive. Keep your aggressivity to poker tables I only wanted to remember what you said in an older post. If you had felt attacked, i'm sorry it was not my intention. As I did before, you had bad luck and problably I would have done the same
