Well, I managed another final table.   How that happened I'm not sure.  The circumstances were really unexpected.

There weren't any stud ring games going.    I stopped over in the tournament lobby and there was a cheap ($3) and it was Stud8/B. Now the 8 games is my poorest set of games I play.   I just don't have the patience to try to peddle a scoop.  Although, the way blinds progress, nobody can really do that in a tournament situation.

The reason for that is pretty simple.  When we were at the final table the higher stacks typically held less than 10 big bets.   So, you pick a hand and push … and pray.  I'm not the table captain type and that doesn't help.  

ADDENDUM:

Some of you have a few airline miles that will probably not get to a level that you can use it for a ticket.  You make a trip or two to Vegas and don't fly otherwise.   Give this a thought.

The nonprofit Fisher House Foundation administers the "Hero Miles" program for the Department of Defense in accordance with Public Law 108-110, the FY 05 Defense Authorization Act. The program is comprised of individual airlines whose passengers donate their frequent flyer miles to assist service members and their families. Specifically, Fisher House Foundation provides free airline tickets to military men and women who are undergoing treatment at a military or VA medical center incident to their service in Iraq or Afghanistan, and their families.

There are two categories of eligible recipients:

• Service men and women with an approved leave of five or more days may be given a free round trip airline ticket for a trip from the medical center to their home and return if they are not eligible for government funded airfare.
• Qualifying service men and women may be given free round trip airline tickets to enable their family or close friends to visit them while they are being treated at the medical center.
