new years eve but i didnt go out partying etc, so i ended up playing the 55k gtd rebuy on stars made it deep by playing great poker. Then the luck element came into play. i hadnt risked more than 1/3 of my chips at any point up till the last 2 tables.... and then i lost every all in situation.... i lost AK to 56 (calling a ss all in) i lost 33 to AK (similiar situation) i WON KK vs AJ he flopped A but i turned and rivered quads....that put me up to a million chips.. which is enough for the final.. but general wear and tear and when we got down to 13 i had about 500k in chips,bb was 60k and this aggresive player raised it up to 180k, i had Ah8h in teh BB and i re raised all in.. he called with 77 and i flopped an 8.. but he got the 7 and i was out. wudda been nice to make a final of a big mtt 2 nights in a row.... i played my best and if i had won that hand i am confident i wudda made the top 3. But this is poker, all i can do with my skills is get to that stage of a mtt, then i have to roll the dice like all the rest of them.... hopefully my edge lies in the idea that i can get to this stage more often so i can have more chances to get lucky ..... something which i need to improve.. my luck
