 Went to the final table in First Place., Eman, 8. Oct 2003 05:42 | ||

| I made it to the final table in first place in a $5 NLHE tourney on UB the other day (400 players). I ended up finishing in 5th (that sucked). I couldnt get one lousy hand to play. I tried stealing blinds, that didnt help. The best hand I saw at the final table was KJo. I raised, flop cam K J 4, (two spades), I bet big the other guy goes all in, I had him covered so I called, I knew he was on a draw. Spade came up he showed me 78 of spades, that put me way down, and finally my pair of KK's got busted by the chip leader playing A6o, and caught an A. I was eyeing the $600 first place, but ended up with only $88. So far i placed 1st, 5th, and 4th in multi table tourneys on UB. I place in the money a bunch of times, just barely making any money.

| I play at UB....good flow of action....cheap tourneys....sit and go's...heads up...regular cash action.... I took 4th once in a 400 seater....Tough competition to get into the money...... You need a lot of skill and a lot of good cards. Bluffing helps too. e-babes | ||

| skill will get you close to the final table on regular basis, but once you get there luck does take over more with big blinds etc. you need to get lucky no matter how u play, so keep getting to the final table and youll eventually get some luck going into the stretch run.... on 8.
