I figured my flopped boat was g00t but I knew I had to hold up through 4th and 5th. With no re-raise I just kept betting at him. Thoughts?

Perfect.

I agree, theres nothing else you can do. Im just hoping that the board doesnt pair.

Very nice.

[Theeggman]

Thanks, I know this seems like a brag post (and kinda is) but I'm more thinking about getting thoughts on two big stacks tangling with each other on the bubble in a MTT.

[Sykedupp]

I did that in the rebuy madness a few weeks ago (wasnt REALLY near the bubble, like 140 left and i was 20th stack dealing with 21st stack, but we were 2 highest on the table)... and im a bad big stack player so i ended up all in with something and he called with something better.... ooops..... oh well.... I think the big stacks should stick to bullying the little stacks unless they have the nuts or close to it like you did.

How did you do in this tourney?

[Theeggman]

How did you do in this tourney?

Took 1st for $250ish ($5+1). The end of tourneys are so much better when you're the big stack. I knew dudes wanted me to double them up so I picked spots where I could either win without showdown or represent on a flat out steal. I showed down very few hands after this one (I did double one guy up to about 20,000). At 100xBB if I put out a 3xBB raise and got reraised it wasn't hard to lay it down. So it wasn't push or fold like I'm used to at the end. I recommend getting a really large stack.
