It looks like you were up against the chip leader in the final hand and as usual stood no chance of winning with your AA. I am assuming you went all in preflop and with a KT there's no way the chip leader is going to fold that! Keep your chin up and keep playing well. These things happen. Better hands always win!

you played slow with AA or how this was?beacuse dont see that he would preflop all in with K 10 with this amount of chips and think that you tried to catch somebody with this card and that was mistake!thats why I dont like slow play with big pair,when opponent have almost same amount of chips!

actually to make one fatal mistake in your life can mean either a positive thing or a negative thing, on some occasions it can be a mix of two. fatal mistake can open your eyes to new things, strategies that can improve you/your game, but such fatal mistake as drinking all of you cash away and be left with a $0 bankroll can have detrimental effect on your life with no possibilities of improvements whatsoever.

It seems you were big blind and big99914 was under the gun in the far-left screenshot. So, big99914 raised preflop and you 3-bet with your Aces, right? He probably would have folded his KT off suit if you had shoved preflop. Anyway, better luck next time.

WOW, hold up, wait a minute! you have a virus young fellow, look at your screen shots. It seems that your text is messed up and unreadable. This is all because your computer got infected. The virus makes the normal English software in some sort of moonspeak. Format your PC at ones and install in English

That was a massive loss fo chips there in that play. By what you described in your first post, it is obvious you slow played, as you are saying in your next post. I never slow play the aces for this reason. Probably he would have folded in a preflop all in, since you were in top 3 at the moment, both of you. No matter what it was a good finish.

I know it is disappointing not to win when you get so close but you should be very proud of making the final table. These tournaments are extremely difficult to get to the final table and to do so is quite an achievement

when there were tournaments on Full Tilt I took 1-2 place more than one or two times ... 20 times ... it was about a 888 such was never the best achievement ... - fifth place (((I hope that yet I improve my game and yet still win a freeroll)) certainly not interfere with different people from BRM and who will just see where that password ...

Pajalnick my friend is not fatal mistake just you did not have enough luck but the fact that you arrived at the final table speaks that you played a good tournament I'm sure you'll be a winner at least once in the tournament,it is essential that you get a lot of points for the leaderboard,extend white good performances in the tournament
After this error in my game goes bad ... the last two freeroll held without winning ... maybe I need to change my game a bit .. not risk at low chances of winning ... although sometimes very attractive card on hand, and so I want to put bid even realizing that you can not win))

Or simply just risk it at the right tiime. And when is the right time? Well, you need to figure that one out yourself

Yesterday, I also left the tournament bovolno fast ... and you're right, I do not run the risk at a time when you need to .... of course you have to play a more restrained, but when the hands of the good cards is difficult to resist the temptation .... and sometimes not very I want to play and I'm going Ollin as soon as possible ... if I'm lucky, the game will continue, if not, then no
