This is pretty sick, but it happens to me all the time. Just funny how ATC always wins.

You fish haha Thats insane, but that does happen and it sucks. Its obv bad play is rewarded which is nuts. Why!? Should be fair for all.

Then next time around I bust on bubble after being crippled with JJ vs 86

You should just start going all in every hand then. See how much profit you make in the long run.

Haha, I play bad sometimes when I'm freerolling with T$, really makes people mad sometimes.

I have now won 3/7 of the step 1 (6max) using this strategy.
3/7- 4th @ $2.7 ea (profit because tickets were bought with points)
1- Bubble

Now I need to turn step 2 tickets into cash or step 3's

take your step 3 tickets and play a 45 man $24+2 sng on full tilt..
the players are so weak... they spew all day long.

I haven't turned step 2 into step 3 yet... not sure how to go about it yet

I bet that A/K that got cracked by 9/8 would have assaulted you in real life, or at least had a few choice words. Never the less, good job I guess.

Why are the players that complain usually so bad themselves?
