@nagrom

It's a cruel game sometimes.

I saw your 2XUp with Aces against @craigcu12 (A-K) earlier & thought that may be enough to get you across the line.

There are still two more finals though, plus assorted Promos, so fingers crossed for you.

@Tikay10

Yeah that was a cooler for sure. AQ on the bubble bottom of my range. When I got called thought it would only be Aces so still had a bad feeling haha. Stone bubble with zero in return definitely hurts but will try again when the pain wears off a bit lol. It's a great promo though glad you brought it back. Hopefully see you in Glasgow anyway.

unlucky mate, unfortunately some people don't understand ICM, I went out vs this guy with a hand I felt he over called in ICM terms. this is what's so hard about sats, I'm never sure whether or shove and hope they fold ICM terms or just keep blinding my stack down.

You're spot on, it's an alien concept really. Think in that scenario with the stack distribution only Aces are a call and even then you're not delighted to be running it with a big chunk of your stack at risk. As I was saying AQ is bottom of my range as the short stack with really good blockers. Maybe I should only shove AK there who knows but was conscious of not getting well below the next shortest. Pretty brutal but only £20 odd lost in that attempt I guess. GL in the next one pal!

@Tikay10 there is currently the option to register for the "SPT Satellite Winners" tournament, not sure if this is a mistake?

@aynaricol

Thanks for pointing that out, though as far as I can see, it's not actually possible to enter it, it just comes up with this message;

Private Tournament Registration

You are not allowed to enter this private tournament

I've passed a note upstairs though to make them aware. Thanks for lmk.
