And won ... LMAO
I thought ' these guys are playing tighter than usual', not the usual donkers...hmmm ah well, play my usual game...da dum de dum
bugger, c**p run of cards....blinds going up..risk time, call that all in (half my stack 5 peeps left) with A6s.. KJ...close.but no cigar .and maybe not a great call but it's only $5...so nobody hits and he's out.
Coast to the finish and da da " Congratulations you have finished 1st and won $100"
Ha Ha, very funny...daft software threw in an extra 0...erm...no my account balance says otherwise ....god you daft bugge...wahooooooor
If i'd known there's probably no way i'd have won or maybe I should move up stakes lol

I thought dbl-up tourneys finished once 1/2 the players are out. There is no 1st, 2nd, whatever, just dbl up spots? Maybe that site is different, but why bother playing past the dbl-up spots, your not going win any more from coming in 1st, or 2nd... Odd post.

Unfortunately some sites keep on going till the end. PKR does this, it's a pain in the arse, because MOST people just go all-in, but sometimes you get stuck with some dead-shits that won't call it and want to get 1st place and you end up stuck in the game 5-10minutes longer than need be. Grr. I think it's cause they want SNG leaderboard points, so coming first in a DoN is seen as easy points, cause not many people try to do this lol.

Leaderboard points he? Ye too less people are valueing that
Me , I am fighting on several leaderbaords to get some free WSOP packages, and EPT packs for next year. Too bad for meh some rollers are playing higher then 400NL on those boards. None the less, I am already qualified for a couple finals
If a Don goes str8 to the end, I shud play for the win and the points.

I agree, playing when you're afraid to lose your money is a sure fire way to lose it anyway.
"......But the A6 call was awfull, if it put you at risk should you lose the hand."
Wasn't a great call as I said but DON's are Turbos's and A6 suited with 5 players and calling half my stack was a judgment call against that player as he was running out of opportunities. A6s against KJo - is about 60:40 in my favour so I didn't deserve to lose the hand - everybody's lost better hands to far worse, that's poker..
