Swimming in the Shark Cage

[caffiend]

Ah well, I placed third with my Shark Cage ticket at Poker Room. I suppose that's not awful out of sixty people, but I suspect I could have won with one or two more premium hands. What a run of garbage towards then end.

The high point of the final was Mr. Sitting Out, who kept doubling up in spite of not playing. Kiss my ass, Poker Room! If you're going to be automatically check/folded during the hand you shouldn't be able to win being all in preflop. Guy double up two or three times before someone finally flops a set of aces to put him out of his misery. Way to move up two spots in the money while in the john or wherever he went.

Worst bubble ever, by the way, took forever to collapse the final two tables. Probably because nobody had more than ten big blinds by that point. I doubled up the first hand at the final table and moved into third going from 5x to 10x. Hooray huge stack!

Shortest final table ever too, that thing was over faster than a Party SnG.

Nice finish. Was the payout good?

I hate this too. I'm a big fan of if you are away from the table(sitting out) your hand is folded and blinds/antes are taken.
