Oh hello. I was in that - finished 258th.
Going well until I ran my KK into QQ, followed by 89TJA. For a second I thought I had fluked the higher straight at the end. Never really recovered. Take it down.

cheers guys,

Went out with this hand was on about 92000 in big blind, say 11x big blind, big stack with over 300000, makes a standard raise, I have  :2s: 5s, I think he is stealing cause at this point for last half our I was pretty card dead and could hardly even defned my blind. So I decide to shove lots in pot with ante etc. They call with ace queen they pair there queen, but 2 spades on flop and I miss and out!.

I seem to do well in stars structure but it starting to get to me that you make a deep run like that and you only get a small return because they pay out so many people..

Thanks to railers

Couldn"t agree with this more.  Last couple of weeks I"ve been playing a lot of the stars big runner events and went deep in a reasonable amount (on average about 1 comp per night - entered about 7/8) but always seemed to end up getting busted somewhere about 30th.  Very frustrating

this is the main reason why i started playing on full tilt more, it is a massive pain to get so far, yet not get much of a return on your placing. It was killing my varience, hence the switch over.

it has worked, with a first and a couple of 2nds in mtt"s this year, and hopefully more to come!

wp on the cash though
