I had A 3 5 6 in the bb,sb limps and i go pot raise he calls and the flop is 3 6 4 ibet the pot and he calls turn is 10 i shove and he calls river is 9 he turns over A 2 i'm crippled and my last 2,000 goes in the next pot.He just let me hang myself and i did I played it bad i took him for high cards and i thought i could bet him off i had draws but........
Taking into account the fact that you won 60.24 - 11 = 49.24 dollars this is certainly a good result .... Of course we all want to win as much as possible, but since this is what everyone wants, it does not always work out ... I congratulate and good luck in the game

Congratulations on this great result. The bitter taste remains because I imagine the sensations of wanting to win it and you could not by that fatal hand. But I wanted to encourage you for the next tournament as the good thing about poker is that it always has revenge.

It was a nice win after all with a nice finish position. At the end you have to chase at some point and force things, n order to get the chips. And in omaha the predictable becomes unpredictable in a flash Congratulations and better luck next time.

Another fine deep run and another nice pick up. I can see why you might be a bit disappointed at the way you lost your chips but that play will work many times and you just got unlucky that he hit the flop so big

Another great run TeddyBears!
Always sucks too make a mistake late in a run but it happens to the best. Your Omaha skill is obviously is at high level and see much bigger finishes and cashes in the near future mate!
