***** Brag Thread ******
As a youth, nobody could ever beat me at The Egg & Spoon race. And I mean nobody.
Man, I was smoking with that stuff. Could have been a contender as a professional in that sphere too... had I not damaged my wrist as a teenager, during a particularly fevered bout of Nocturnal Tradiola....
I assume the brag doesn't have to be poker-related?

Obviously by posting this I've now jinxed myself and will probably never make a final table again. But I couldn't resist this one-off opportunity to make myself look like a good poker player.
Please feel free to add your own poker/other brags to this thread.

Haha, awesome, I can't compete with that Flutnush. The wackier the brag the better.
I wasn't intending this to be a strategy thread, but my approach is to play very tight for at least an hour and resist any temptation to chase bounties. Treat the tourney as a regular MTT and watch the bloodbath as those all around you get carried away trying to take each others heads. As soon as a short-stack gets involved in a pot you often see the rest of the table all go piling in with just about any 2 cards. See pots cheap when you can and make the most of your very strong hands. If you shove pre-flop with AA, or with top-set or nut-flush on the flop you will often get a customer with more chips than you. Focus on making the bubble, if you do pick up a bounty just think of it as a bonus.
TBH I think this run says more about the standard of my opponents than my own abilities. By the time you reach final table the mayhem has ended and those remaining are playing a proper game. I expect the evening BH tournaments with bigger buy-ins and large fields are much tougher, I don't play them due to my work hours.
