It was Barry, BrynKenney and me in the final 3. I played above my head the entire SnG. Mostly taking advantage of how aggressive Barry was being and 3 betting him and he would fold.
Got 3 handed and I couldnt get away from AJ vs KK though. Never wanted to use my "1 time" more then that spot.
Though I do have a story from my 11th place finish in the 750k that I wish my JJ would of held vs AQ. That tourney Annette_15 won.
Always sucks to get that close and not finish!! Which brings up an interesting question?
Which is tougher to deal with?
1) Losing because you make a stupid mistake and get in in bad?
2) Losing because you had a dominated hand sucked out?
I used to think the first was worse because you made the mistake and therefore "deserved" to lose. Lately, I've been leaning towards #2 as there is nothing you couldv'e done to prevent it AND the sting of getting so close doesn't go away.
I've had my runins with Annette, she is one of the toughest players to get a read on and can really get you off your game with her hyperaggressive style.
