OK, after a nice hot shower, I am pretty damn happy. Making it that far thru that may players is like jogging thru a minefield in snowshoes!!! Again, thanks for all the support. It definitely helped.

I didn't make it nearly as far but I think going out in the 1800's was pretty good considering there were 35,000. I was proud of myself too :club:

meh.... i think flatting is fine here.but personally I think clicking it back and folding to a shove is much better.

Yea I guess you're right. I mean why risk your whole stack when you can see the flop in position. If you flop your set you're bound to get paid

93.33% on the flop, 90.91% on the turn. I made the right play (I think), but got UL. I would love some of the tourney pros to chime in with their thoughts. If I smooth and shove the flop, would it have been better? I still think he would have called (he went out about 40 spots later).

Myself, and unless he's gone insane, vtlaxer, are both levelling..Shove > Fold >>>>>>>>>>>>> Flat. Against some people 5xing with that stack in that position I might fold but in the biggest tournament ever (with the most idiots ever) you're pretty safe shoving. 14 BBs and TT = gogogogo.Horrible beat, I'd be so mad if that happened, you took it so well.
