well i was losing about $8 and the night was still young,i had just crashed out of pokerfest #27 very lamely and i was feeling sh!t about poker but i was still in the $1 buy-in $5,000 gtd hyper rebuy on Party. It got a bit heated when i won a few hands and eventually i was well placed when the bubble burst. As the final table got closer and closer i was actually getting excited about reaching it.I was 7/11 on the bb and i had 3-5 off and i said to myself that if the sb went all in i'd call everyone folded and so did the sb i made the ft 8/9. I got a quick double up and then sat out a rotation,one guy took 2 others out and then i took out the small stack so we were down to 4 and the big stack took out the other 2 in one hand. FFS i'm heads up i can't believe i made it,any way i had 5m in chips and he had 25m bit of a lead eh ,1st hand heads up and i thought double up quick and i've got a chance Q-2o i had and i went all-in he called with K-5 and he held anyway i got 2nd and the reason i'm very happy is that i got $412.50,the best cash i have ever had. sorry for the long story but i just had to tell you all,gl to you all at the tables.

G'day mate
Congratulation! Glad you did so very well. Shocked to read you shove all in with Queen 2 off. I would never have done that but you still made a GREAT profit. Hope you reach another final table real soon. be cool

thanks all, honestly no rebuys i just did the add-on i very rarely rebuy as it ends up costing too much if you do ( unless you cash of course ) and i only add-on if i think it's worth it.
Aye i know Ronin Q-2 lol but the blinds were 500k /1m so i had to do something pretty quick, on another day i'd have won or he would have folded. Good to see you back was wondering where you were

TEDDYBEARS....well done on a fantastic cash out. It's a shame your picture card all in shove heads up didn't pay off, so many times it would have, but never mind, you made final table and you made the big money. That's the way to do it!

Gratz for this nice winning and this was a good example to never give up after a bad run. Sometimes you need only one good run in a tourney to win a big cash prize and get new motivation to play. Really good return of investment

At some point while i was reading i thought you were saying too much but when i reached the point with the amount you won, it was worth reading. Very nice result with a very nice payout. Congratulations, with a no1 finish next time.

Wow very nicely done mate, keep up the good work and go crush all those players and earn yourself lots of money playing poker, it is always so good to go back from a loss and get a lot of money, also not to be a buzz kill but sometimes when you are up for the day and go down to the negative zone it can hurt pretty hard. Anyway glad you made it back up and good luck at the tables mate. Keep it up, will be watching your threads!
