Yea, this was a fun tournament. I got a few hands last night, and it helped me get a strong chip stack early on. When the two tables were condensed to one, I was pissed off to see that I was sitting in the WORST spot I could imagine - to the right of the big stack - who, at that time, was nflchad.
When we got down to four players, the stacks were getting closer to being even. But, the shitty blind structure Titan tournaments made this thing a crapshoot.
On my final hand, I was dealt 33 (or was it 44)? Acting UTG, nfl made a standard raise, and it was folded to me. He's either stealing UTG (which is a move I like) or his raise is legit. I put him on high-cards (or rags if he's stealing). I'm technically a favorite w/ my pocket pair, but for all intents and purposes, if I push, AND HE CALLS, then we flip a coin. There is also a chance that he folds to my push, but the blinds were so high, he'd really have to be stealing.
At that point, I thought it would be better for me to take a flip and possibly double up. If I double up, not only is nfl crippled, but I can easily take control of the table, putting myself in a great position to win. If I lose, then I'm out...
I'll gamble when I think it's right.
I pushed, nfl called, and I wasn't surprised when he flips AJ. Either an A or J hit and I was done.
gg.
