I don't know if I made right decicions late. I'd raise and try to steal but get called alot. I was getting no respect especially from this one player cabby probably because i raised junk. It's tough busting out that close to winning. Especially now watching it a guy who had less chips than me just made it to the final.
Stop being afraid to gamble. Making it to the final table with a tiny stack isn't worth much, it's the top three that you're aiming for.
you played it fine, what other way is there to play it?
Thats an insta-shove everytime (except for rare situations). With your M that low there was no other way to play that hand...like mcatdog stated...gamble, theres no point making the FT being the low stack... You played the hand fine and were 45/55 underdog..thats plenty good enough, along with your extremely low M, this is a shove everytime like I stated before....
flip flip gotta win flips to win tournies, cant regret flips
