Thanks as always Rakeback! Deadline for our internet to be shut off for the move is April 15th, so after that I'll be offline for Lord only knows how long. So this might be my last tourney so I'm gonna try my best to make it! I have work, so not sure if I will be able to or not, but I'm gonna try my best!

Took 3rd. ohno was raising my BB all in every time frob folded. I let him because I was getting crap. Then I get As 7s, he does it, I insta call and he catches a queen on the flop. Oh well.

Edit 1: Frob takes it with Pocket Jacks I think. GG all.

Edit 2: That is why I don't like turbo tourneys, it usually comes to a point of all-in mania and then, it's who gets luckier.

ohnoOHYEAHHHHHHHHHHH, is the correct name, Gamer.

Yeah I took it with JJ. Had them right when I needed them. Although, to be honest... I was on a hot run of cards once it went heads up. There were very few hands that I wouldn't have played all-in (and I think I folded all of those). I just got very lucky.

Who was "ohnoOHYEAHHHHH"? They took down second place. A good finish. They would have likely done even better had I not gotten lucky at the right times.

And congrats to Stella who, as she mentioned, cashed her first time out for 4th place.

And Grumpy takes 5th... a very good finish considering how high the blinds were already getting when we approached the bubble.

I'm not a huge fan of turbos myself. But I'm not going to complain about winning this one.

Edit: Sorry again to Braveboat. I was on a total play and just ran into a quality hand and got lucky. I limped expecting you to raise ATC... if the raise wasn't large, I was going to call and shove any flop. It wasn't and I did just that. I just happened to have flopped a flush draw... but I was going to shove even if I hadn't. You turned over KK (oops ) but I caught my flush to cripple you. That was bad play on my part.
