on break now...sitting at 2060 chips after a couple of ugly hands... really the guy did call with 4 6...I don't get it but it happened... Good luck going forward, don't forget to open up the selection of hands willing to push when you get to 10 BB's..just an opinion though...play your game, its got you this far
No worries, Shar....it's not like it's easy.
You did well...that 6 4 hand crippled you, and once you're low in chips it's tough to climb back out....you can't count on the other players playing smart...sometimes they just get lucky.
Good try Shar. Kept watching until the dogs required a depeeing walk, which became very exciting when Queenie's leash broke (managed to salvage the situation).
From your finishes in our Satt tourneys so far, you should have more opportunities to give this a shot!
Hmm, that's interesting. I could do more of those more often. The marathon of last week was almost a bit much for me. However, that was before I got the suggestions from Grahame, etc. about taking a break every now and again.
I did enjoy playing a larger field, longer tourney...just not for 4.5hrs. straight either playing or folding every hand dealt.

So, what size of fields do you get for those Shar? I suppose I could just check myself, but this seems easier.
