That's right your boy TheIrish77 is abck it again after min cashing the same tournament yesterday and now back on the prowl. As always the gods have been good too me very early on and now sitting 3rd atm.
Have had some big hands hold up early so hence the stack.
Be back later on much later after hopefully making another cash but much larger score.

With a little bit more than one hour play and that stack, you had some luck indeed. Lets hope it will continue and you will manage to get a good cash out there. Good luck.

well i always like when i have a decent stack early on, this way i can play some more hands that are maybe too marginal to play with a mid/smaller stack, so this makes the tournament more fun to play but potentially more frustrating losses can be encountered. best of luck the irish dude.

Absolutely right pochui! I love big stack play as you can open so many wide range that is almost impossible to put on when play properly.

Gratz for your good running in tourney last time, i wish you luck for your next The Jab and other tourneys Tourneys are the best way to win a big cash since some hours and with a small buyin. In cah games it was really heavy to win step by step.

Its always very nice to start well, and you can sort of relax, and become more selective on which hands you play. I hope you can hold on to at least make the money and anything more will be a very nice bonus

Yeah made the moeny and finished 98th for a payout of 15.76$ but after playing so well for so long and literally being top 40 stack most of the run and top 10 for good portion as well it hurt some of the really bad play i made. not 1 of the hands late in the tourney were played well by me and i could've easily rode my stack inito last few tables at one stage.
Another godo run but some fixing needed in my game especially late in the game which i see pretty good at getting too now just to finish what i start and take it down!

I like to see another great game fomr you TheIrish77, of course it was super good start and then maybe some bad luck and maybe like you say some bad decision by you didn't help to finish some places higher or maybe even be on final table, but still you ended with winning some money and this is always good.

I am not an expert of course, just a thought here, from what you have been saying in your posts. May the fatigue be a factor, playing a single tournament for hours, that at the end ruins your games? Ruin should have been in " " since you are doing good after all

Yeah it usually after 4-5 hours that i get a bit restless and start doing things out of the norm. Bluffing with nothing no connectors no draws of any type. It's so weird would never think of attempting these types of play early when have chips and low blinds but when blinds start going up i play like this ? weird need to sort it out quick and get that under control but yeah also some luck involved in not going further.
