Ok, this is to some a really stupid title for this post, I played in a tournament on the night of the TP bonus game and I got stung very early in the game.

There is no doubt I played this hand to weak to start and I guess with over 1500 players and on the first circuit I should have took the cash after the flop

Now I knew on the river I messed this up and resigned my own fate, My friend who was playing told me to go allin next hand as with only 60 chips left and sitting in last place my game was over.

I told him I would fight back and he bet me $50 I wouldnt last to under 1000 place and $100 I wouldnt make it to the final 500.

Now I love a challenge so I accepted and got stuck into my game. Now I knew I needed luck and very quickly, so the first allin would have to be that, LUCK.

With The blinds soon at 400/800 I had to make a move and went out beaten by the better hand. So to wrap up allthough I didnt win ant cash in the tournament I did finish in 260 and allthough luck played a big part I really enjoyed the tournament and the way I played. and did win $100 from my friend who couldnt believe the come back.

So not really a great brag but thought I would share.

lol thats cool. When I was back starting about 1.5 / 2 years ago I got down to 10 chips early in a freeroll and built my stack up to 10k before losing.
