Rebuy Tourney: Hand 13, The Final Table begins.
Hand number 2 at the final table. First time I've seen Blueboomer in the tournament. After this hand, I've seen enough to know what my final table strategy is.
Obviously, this is just a "working theory" after only one hand, but the next several hands confirm that Uber-rock will be the correct strategy here. The idea is that I thought I could basically wait for Blueboomer to bust everyone. (This did end up happening, and he went out in 4th place.)
It will turn out that I play only TWO hands at the final table before reaching 3rd place.
Note that at this point I'm in 8th place of 9, and Blueboomer is the *massive* chip leader with over 2 million in chips. (Kind of hard to see without the commas)
