Party Poker Million Tourney...Nick, Ryan ?

Thanks everyone Here is a funny hand: The payout increased at 60th place by about $700. There are 62 people left and the blinds were 2k, 4k. I had 6600 in chips. The big blind comes and someone raises it so I fold. Small blind comes and Im in for 2k leaving me 600 chips if I fold. There is tons of action on my table, raises, reraises etc. Normally I would call just for the pot odds, there is a small chance in hell I could double up and maybe make it the next round. I have K4 offsuit and I fold. The railbirds start fighting immediately about how that is a proper/improper fold. Im left with 600 chips and a few people are eliminated from the tourney and I make another $700 bucks, wooo hooo

Fuck the railbirds. You were obviously more concerned with moving up in prize money than making a move to gather chips. You moved up in position and made more money. It all depends on what your goal was at that time.
