Post Mortem
I have been reviewing my play in the blogger tournament and even read a "review" of the final four play, courtesy of another blogger. That was the first time that I had ever been in a poker situation with so much riding on it.
Would I do anything differently now if I could? I would probably challenge more aggressively for some of the blinds toward the end. The blinds have a way of creeping up on you at the end of a tourney. Looking back, I probably should have taken a few more chances at the end.
Of course - I did that exact thing last night in the poker.com 20K freeroll. I was in 41st place and someone pushes out a big bet. I was putting him on a small-medium pair. I had the Big Slick and knew I could go for the coin flip if I wanted. Decided to make a run for the big money and went all in. Turns out that the guy had 7-7. Unfortunately, no Ace ... no King ... no run for the big money.
I guess that is why we love this game ...
Well, at least my blogger performance won me an iPod Nano and some Poker.com gear - which might include a polo shirt, flip flops, and maybe other stuff. I won't mind advertising for my favorite online poker room the next time I am in Las Vegas ... only two short months away!

Thank you for the comments, you played a great game as well...everyone at the final table played well and the tourney was a tough one. Looking forward to seeing you at the final tables during season two.
You played very well mate and as you saw, in the end it was about luck for me. I made some very good calls, but when I made bad calls I got lucky.
Seen quite a few, not mentioning names, say I am a pure lotto player and very bad one at that. Well I did get suckout lucky on 2 hands I think, Quoting the hands wrong so I look even worse and poker.coms history down so I cant prove them wrong ;)But I like to believe getting on FT also was because of good play, no matter what anyone else say. I had my share of very bad beats during the tourney too, I just had enough chips to be able to survive it.
Allways believe in your own play and let people talk. you played very well, most on FT did.
