    Biiiiiiiink!!! Was that the sound of a fist pump over the congratulatory banner saying I'm the winner? Or was it the sound of me spewing all over myself? Either way, let this be a lesson to my impatient friends out there.......... NEVER GIVE UP ON A TOURNEY. (even when u have 30 chips left) Ya just NEVER KNOW ;)

    ;-)

    wsaul

  4. I agree "never give up" and also don't be a dumbass like me. If you are gonna bet 99.999% of your stack preflop--just move all in. Because you just might lose your connection.
