    Post A tournament story.

    Just played a $2.25 6 handed tournament on FTP. last 4 hours and finished a disappointing 4th in the end, i would of took that before the tournament as there were 354 runners, But as i was first out of 8 , and second going into the final table i am a bit annoyed. Anyway im going to post a few hands of the tournament as there was some ups and downs Btw won $61,

    So early on in the tournament and i pick up TT, i decide to play it slow as its one of the first hands and the blinds are small.. But i end up all in on the flop and hit my miracle on the river for a early double up.

    The hand history is messed up for this one so heres how it went. I have TT in MP i flat its folded round BB raises to 90 i call flop 7d 4d 2d i hold the 10 of diamonds. BB bets 150 i raise to 500 i push in. he flips Ad JavaScript. Turn comes Jh and i fall behind until the miracle 10 of spades drops on the river.

    middle stages of the tournament go pretty smoothly with no big hands or all ins gradually builing my chipstake to 17k on the bubble with the average being 19k

    Then i pick up KK and push all in on the button and i get called by 44. the flop comes 4AA, and my hearts sinks, but beforei know it the another ace hits the turn and i have a better house. i dodge the 4 on the river and scoop in 45k.

    5th out of 10 now with the final table looming and i pick up AQs in the Sb blinds 1500/3000, the button raises to 11,000 and i push my 48,000 in he snap calls and flips KK, the flop comes A K 10 and for a minute i think i ahead, but i see the dreaded K i pray for a J and the turn hits its a J! the river is a harmless 3 and i jump into 1st.

    The final table comes along and im sitting in 2nd with 101,000. im pretty card dead and dont really play a hand and by the time i know it after a couple of bad steals and blinds gone im 4th out of 4 with 52,000 blinds 3k 6k the other 3 have larger stacks with the leader having 230k, i pick 89s up on the button and shove. i get called by the sb who flips 88. The flop comes 256 giving me a 9 or 7 for the win. the turn improves me giving me 4 to the flush, a 9 or a 7 giving me the pot, but it doesnt come and i bow out in 4th

    Sorry about the writing i lost the HH.

    Thanks.
    who dares wins ;)
