Nine cashes in a row. This one was a startling comeback from a near flatline.

There were two main reasons I didn’t get second place.

• One, tmontana2 allowed prainey to hang around by raising twice during hands where he was all-in, forcing me to fold, and splitting the pot when merely checking would have eliminated prainey. This egregious breach of cooperative play late in a tournament is explained by Mean Gene right here.
• Two, I mis-clicked. First time it's ever happened in a genuinely critical situation. I had a crap hand in BB but was allowed to see the flop free. The flop was no help and I was planning to check with a gutshot possibility. Well, I didn’t do it quite fast enough, and by the time I clicked, it had changed to [CALL 600] and I had effectively pissed away half my chips.

Oh well, I'm gonna be stuck in an Orange County hotel room tomorrow, so I won't be able to go for my tenth straight cash. The company frowns on downloading poker client software onto our work laptops, so I won't be playing again until either very very late on Friday or on Saturday.
