Almost won $43,000

I did Titan Poker the other day as an offer for gamesgifts.

I was enjoying my time playing poker, and decided to try my hand at a sit n go.

For those that don't know its like a mini tournement. 10 people buy in, and all the money is pooled and divided up to the winners.
The money gets split up like this
1st - 50%
2nd - 30%
3rd - 20%

I was just playing 5 dollar sit and gos, and finished 3rd fairly easily in my first one so I kept playing.

my next 6 finishes were
4,1,2,1,1,1

so I moneyed in all but 1, then I noticed its a progressive thing, with over 43,000 to the first person to win 5 in a row. That little 2 there cost me 43,000. I then noticed I was entitled to a 200 bonus for placing 1st or 2nd in 5 straight. I went ahead and took it instead of trying to place 1st in the next two for the 43,000.

also I had a huge chip lead in the one I finished 2nd in, and made the mistake of trying to rush the win, by calling other guys all ins, which were relativly small, and doubling him up to even with me slowly but surely.

oh well almost

i almost won the lottery once... but i missed 2 numbers eh...
