    MANY HIGH FINISHES IN THE PAST AND A COUPLE OF WINS.

    Played live with my brother and went out at final table of 150 guys in 5th I think.

    I really do not like it though, no shit, it is a lot of work for only a few times of feeling really good.

    Have played $7-10 dollar tourneys and came in second a couple of times, I am not really happy with those finishes for a week or two after. I replay the hands and think about each hand etc could I have done this etc.....

    drives me crazy.

    Last long tourney  I played 256 people with $125 buy in about one month ago.

    Paid  top 20 and I was mid stacked at 23 people left. There was a chip leader at my table and he made a standard 4x raise  into my blind. I looked down at JJ and there were no other callers. I shoved and he flopped over Rockets. It was all over in 10 seconds after 4 or 5 hours of hard work.

    Poker...tough game.

Had a huge chip lead and got sucked out in heads up then ended up coming in second. Second made a few grand less and I went on tilt even tho I just won 7500 on a 3 dollar tourney. Put it all in a cash game hammered and lost every penny that same night.

    I have finished 12th as my best at FT with 2000+ players. I often finish low in the money at large tournament but it is like I go on tilt and make stupid plays right after hitting money. I play at the Greek (cake), FT, and PS.

    What do you consider high?  Many final tables of MTTS, but nothing big in relation to others...
