Played another $5 MTT tonight on PP (1756 people). Finished in a nice spot at 13th. Hey $77 isn't a bad return from a $5 entry fee.

Of course I still think I should have been able to make the final table. It was SOOO close! I made a bonehead move in the big blind again...

What the hell was I thinking!!! Embarassed

Must have been going crazy after 5 hours of poker but I think my rational was that I had just made the 11-13 payscale and would need more chips to make it to the final table. Looking back, I might have been able to squeeze in by staying real tight.

Oh well, 13th out of 1756 ain't too shabby.

As a nice Bonus, the guy who won that pot was a real nice guy and ended up taking first place for $1732 dollars. Guess it was just his day.

Ouch, yeah, got to wait for a better hand to reraise all in with!

Very nice finish though, with a field that big.
