On Wednesday night I decided to play a mutli on Bodog because they guarentee $25,000 in prize money and they usually only get enough players to cover about $14,000. Buyin is only $32+3. This is the first time that I play bodog in a really long time.
Anyways it's a tourney of 443 and after playing a shortstack for a few hours I somehow sneak into the money. Then I pick up aces twice and double up both times which puts me at about an average stack. Increase that and before I know it, it's down to 3 of us. 1st = $6,200 2nd $3,800 3rd $2,625
Blinds are now 20k - 10k I have about 135k , ASCohen has about 145k and TheRook (or Rook) has about 165k.
Blinds are so huge that stealing the blinds twice in a row makes anyone the chip leader. Bodog does not offer deals, if they did I would agree to a deal here because with the blinds this high, it's all luck.
Anyways, the rook folds on the button and I pick up A5s on the SB. I move allin because the blinds represent about 25% of my stack. The BB (Ascohen) calls me! He turns over KQo and I am a 3-2 favorite! Come on baby, let's win this huge coinflip! Unfortunately he hit a Q and that was ball game and I settle for $2625 - losing a coinflip in that situation sucks.

Nice job, not a bad little score! I realize that these sites want to get the tourney's finished at a certain time, but the blinds should never be that high. With 443K total chips in play, the BB should never be 20K. Like in your case everyone was almost dead even, and the BB equaled about 14% of each players chip stack. Lose 2 BB + 2 SB (that is only 6 times dealt to you, and get rags) you have now lost 48% of your chip stack. Losing half of your stack in 6 hands is just not right. Lets face it, how many times have you gotten rags only 6 times in a row?

I know you realize it, but you had to push in that spot. It is just unfortunate that you have to literaly gamble at the end when there is a $3500 difference between 1st and 3rd. At that point it would be nice to let your skill determine the winner, not luck.
