Did you take 1st? :D

Gotta love it. I took a second last night in a tourney where I never had over 1600 in chips. (start with 1000). Everyone seemed to want to fight the big stack and I was more than happy to watch.

LMAO

I once placed 2nd after being down to 15 chips after the second hand. Obviously I got a couple really good hands really quick. However even when I got up to about 200 chips, I was still playing all-in preflop when I had something. I ended up stealing blinds in about the next four hands I played. That gave me enough chips to get back to business.

BTW, I love limping into the money.

ah what a beautiful way to move up about $600 in prize money.

[Patience]

What happens if it is your turn to post the blind and you don't have enough??

[Expunge]

you post all in, see the second hand of the original post, the person in the big blind was forced to bet all his chips. Note the price for all others to limp in for the flop is still the scheduled big blind. but these excess goes to the side pot, if you're the only opponent you get that side pot.

[Expunge]

interestingly enough had hummer gone all in on that second hand he would have been eliminated in 4th place even though his hand was better than the idiot. the tie is broken by most starting chips of the hand.

[Cosmo]

Actually no, he would have won that pot. Bling wouldn't have called with A3.

[Expunge]

id be somewha shocked if bling didn't call 160 with A3 in this situation

[Cosmo]

Sorry didn't realize that Hummer was the 20 stack. Now all this makes sense. :oops:
