That's right your bot TheIrish77 back at it and taking names once again.
Playing the same 0.22 cent 75$ gtd that i took down a few days ago on Party.
Sitting 6th currently with 115 runners left to go with about 10 minutes left in registration.
Right now only about 25$ up top but that should grow to around 35$ with add-ons still to come.
Been playing well and had the chip lead shortly but got crazy on a few hands against a maniac and it cost me about 15k off my current total.
I'll update the closer we get to cashing!
Wish me luck boys and girls
------------ Had a bad stretch went down to last 10k and about 50th with 70 left. but just held a big hand and now again 12/67. pocket 4;s hold against nothing and now back in it !
------------ What a sick way to go out! Lost a bunch of chips again when i should've folded 6's preflop against 8's. thought long and hard but called anyway and lost half my stack and then get pocket queens not too long after and someone pushes with a bit smaller stack and he shows Q10 and he bricks the flop and then of course the laugher of all laughers he hits runner runner 10's to knock me out.
Was looking really promising again but not too be today. will play a bit more to try to get this nasty taste out of my mouth.
Talk soon guys sorry couldn't take it down but ran good.

Well it happens. It is poker after all. But no matter what you are doing ok as a tournament player. A small loss is not disappointing for you Better luck next time, with at least a final table finish

It is always a frustrating way to go out when somebody hits runner runner against you. You have to get very lucky in these and have all your big hands to hold up. Unlucky again to you and may the poker gods be with you next time

That can happen sometims in poker, but normally you have a good run in this tourneys. Gl for your next tourney, you have a lot of winnings in the last months and the next winning are not so far away for you in my opinion.

A runner runner trips. That was a pretty disgusting runout. It was really unfortunate for you to have lost that hand. Once all the chips go in the middle there is nothing you can do. Better luck next time.

yeah the irish dude it all started really promising and all of a sudden reality came in calling your name... what can I say- poker world is really one tough place to spend you time and dollaros. better just get drunk and take on a roulette wheel for a change, who knows maybe, just maybe you will become a gazzilionaire in one night...
