Soo Close

Played the 10+1 on full tilt last night with about 190 peeps running.

Played well , As well as I can with a shortstack and hung around waiting for a hand and waited and waited and waited. Not so much fun when you can't get a card Higher than a 10.

I sometimes have a problem with patience especially early in a MTT, And you can double that feeling when you drop to T1000 about 5 min in.

But I managed to squelch the urge to press and was patient and Managed to make it down to 35th which is 6 out of the money But I am pretty happy with the way I played, I took 2 beats in a row that knocked me down and procceded to scratch and claw my way to 35th.

here are a few hands I wish i had played better.

I had a ton of outs and couldn't catch a single one.
this was with 38 or so left. I was probably alittle aggressive with that last hand But
was hoping to steal.


I do want to thank Ryan from Absinthetics for lettin me ask him his opinions.

peace
