ok about two weeks ago i woke up sat my azz down and decided i would start my day off with an MTT.
i knew i had driving lessons in 3 hours but i figure... i can beat eighty people or die in this tourney (81 entrants) before i have to leave.
Wel guess again.
2.5 hours later i start getting stressed 14 players left and i have 12,000 chips. I need to get a move on. so i start to ga all in, al the while getting dressed and running around the house. I come back from my tooth brushing trip and i see ive made the final table. My 4th all in paid off.
I keep going and just swipe all the players of the table. Then with 100000 chips versus 10000 i figure this is gonna be my fist tourney win.
Then....DING DONG. My driving instructor shows up. I got in two more hand and had to leave. Man he just folded his way to a win.
I'm still upset when i think about it. I Dont EVER play on a time limit again.
tourneys are time consuming.

That sucks ass... Did the same thing once, before going to the movies with the girlfriend. 35 players left out of 400 entrants, I was one of the shortest stacks, and started to go all-in since I was late. The first few hands, everyone was folding, then after a few hands, people started to call me but I was always winning... crazy. After a few minutes, I was second in chips, just a few behind the leader, with 30 players left. I had to go.
When I came back, I had finished 4th!!
