'How to lose your chipstack, without even trying'

Well folks, it looks like i'm almost out of the goddam tournament.

On Monday, I completely misread the status report, thinking that everyone folded to me, with only the blinds ahead of me still to act.
So I did what any good desperate player would do in my circumstance - Put in a cheeky raise in the hope that I could steal em blinds.

What I didn't realise what the the first person to act had already put in a double the blind rais, so my raise was actually a re-raise - One that I couldn't afford.

Bollox bollox bollox.

Serves me right for not paying attention, though in my defense, I was suffering from the flu.
I did let my fellow players know this, but received all the sympathy one would expect in a real life tournament (ie none).

So, i'm going to start saying my goodbyes now.

It's been fun.

........................well, not really.

Just 2 Pokerqueens left then.

A bit late for you Chris, but the MAKE command puts a limit on what you want your advance bet to be, and is cancelled if a bet before you exceeds what your advanced bet was.

ah well. it's over, after 131 days of limping and making two small sized bets.

i finished around position 230 after a prolonged period of doing nothing and eventually got blinded away.

what's my prize for lasting longest?
