About to make the rail call and then this **** happens!I'm sick of making the final table shortstacked, so i decide to take a gamble.I figure if he has A10-AK he folds to my checkraise on the flop. Even if he has high pockets, which he did, i still have a fair number of outs.Seriously, is the right strategy to try and chip up before the ft? Every time I try to do this it fails.The 2 180s I won within the past month, were both done coming into the ft shortstacked. Maybe I should just stick with what works.PokerStars Game #11316857785: Tournament #57413001, $4.00+$0.40 Hold'em No Limit - Level IX (300/600) - 2007/08/05 - 01:36:22 (ET)Table '57413001 9' 9-max Seat #4 is the buttonSeat 1: stangfish (7125 in chips) Seat 2: Pounddog31 (48203 in chips) Seat 3: Darryl Lick (1530 in chips) Seat 4: SaskatcheR (15148 in chips) Seat 5: Pottsino (38456 in chips) Seat 6: Emelioooo (16926 in chips) Seat 7: jaym333 (14315 in chips) Seat 8: sheikydonkey (27819 in chips) stangfish: posts the ante 50Pounddog31: posts the ante 50Darryl Lick: posts the ante 50SaskatcheR: posts the ante 50Pottsino: posts the ante 50Emelioooo: posts the ante 50jaym333: posts the ante 50sheikydonkey: posts the ante 50Pottsino: posts small blind 300Emelioooo: posts big blind 600*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to Emelioooo [6d 5d]jaym333: folds sheikydonkey: folds stangfish: folds Pounddog31: raises 600 to 1200Darryl Lick: folds SaskatcheR: folds Pottsino: folds Emelioooo: calls 600*** FLOP *** [3d 2d 3c]Emelioooo: checks Pounddog31: bets 3600Emelioooo: raises 5400 to 9000Pounddog31: calls 5400*** TURN *** [3d 2d 3c] [9d]Emelioooo: bets 6676 and is all-inPounddog31: calls 6676*** RIVER *** [3d 2d 3c 9d] [Td]*** SHOW DOWN ***Emelioooo: shows [6d 5d] (a flush, Ten high)Pounddog31: shows [Kd Kh] (a flush, King high)Pounddog31 collected 34452 from potsheikydonkey said, "ouch"*** SUMMARY ***Total pot 34452 | Rake 0 Board [3d 2d 3c 9d Td]Seat 1: stangfish folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 2: Pounddog31 showed [Kd Kh] and won (34452) with a flush, King highSeat 3: Darryl Lick folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 4: SaskatcheR (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 5: Pottsino (small blind) folded before FlopSeat 6: Emelioooo (big blind) showed [6d 5d] and lost with a flush, Ten highSeat 7: jaym333 folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 8: sheikydonkey folded before Flop (didn't bet)

Yeah yeah, my rant may have seemed a little odd, but seriously, I thought the whole goal was to come into the ft with a lot of chips. I can't keep assuming that I'll be able to run 15k with blinds at 500-1000 into a victory. Can I?

indeed you can. remember, most of the final table doesn't understand where they are in relation to the blinds. it is GREAT to get there with a big chip lead, but i think many of the fcp'rs can arrive at the final table in the bottom 4 and be serious threats.

Thanks for the input qyayqi, you make a good point. I'll try not to be so desperate to double up from now on.

You played fine.. You folded your way to fifth and then went Gus Hansen when you needed to. Gratz on the cash and prizes.
