I've never got so lucky in a hand before. First of all, this was lucky because I caught one of only 2 cards that could save me. Secondly, this was extra lucky because I was all in at the time and with this hand I won over a million chips.

This was also one of my best tournament perfomances ever. 500 people started this one, and I came in 4th.

I think I only moved in on this hand because of tiredness and boredom. This tournament had been going on 4 hours by this stage and I had barely picked up a hand on the final table.

And on a sidenote, the guy that I outdrew on this hand went on to win the tournament!

This was by far the luckiest hand I have ever played, BY FAR.

A few comments about this hand.

I can understand pushing on this hand. At the flop you had only 1 person put in the minimum raise and I could see this has an opportunity to steal the pot. He called, which hurt, but you caught an out. Good.

I can't see being tired. If I had played for 4 hours and made it to the final 7 of a tournament, I will force myself to catch my second wind. I'm not slacking off for anything. I'm not putting in a long game just to give up.

It is nice catching such a narrow win. I can remember a game I played where my opponent flopped a full house. He slow-played it and I rivered a bigger full house. He was mad and said, "G** D***** He caught one of only 2 outs! GGGGRRRRR!" I replied, "I had 3 outs."

The guy in your tournament who went on to win. Wow, that had to be pretty dramatic. The way I see it, after your double-up on him, he didn't have enough chips to last 1 more orbit. He must have gotten some good cards quick.

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.
