Had a great run going in this tourney and played progressively better as it went on. Missed one crucial hand that was probably my undoing as I couldn't get it out of my head the rest of the tourney.
I had pocket 4's and UTG bet 4 x and he was chip leader on the table so I folded being cautious and three others come along. Flop comes 224 of course and as the hand unfolds the chip leader hits nut flush and bumps his stack up. I would have been chip leader had i Played with over 110 K with about 60 to go. COuldn't shake the miss after that one and crumbled into 32nd. Paid 16.00 USD which was good for a freeroll.
Also finished 214 in the 1.10+R 35K GTD the on thursday for a payout of 25.65 USD which was a another good showing. Was in top 40 late till a couple of big hands didn't hold up and couldn't survive the big blinds late in the tourney.

Good Luck everyone on the tables.
TheIrish out!
You win without a rebuy ? or how many rebuys? Good job and good luck
Congrats, good effort and great return on investment at the Big Bang. Next time hopefully u will be able to crack into the top10 on it. Don't be so hard on yourself for the missed opportunities, karma will make it sure that u will get them again. And again. And again. Until u don't miss them.

Yeah i remember SBEP and thanks for kind words everyone. I've been fortuanate enough to win 3 Free tickets to the big bang through PSO lerague.
I have a pretty text book style but can mix it up based on situation i'm in. I generally get paid off when I have it and can get away from decent cards when the time calls for it.
think I'm just about to go a nice run over the next couple of weeks. been playing alot this week with mixed results but the past few days have been kind and I seem to be able to concentrate on these bigger MTT's much more.
Keep grinding everyone and I think I'm going to be much more actively fro mnow on and will keep posting results good or bad hopefully more good then bad.
