Anyone playing the Super Monday?

Tiny bit above average after first break. I just noticed the levels last 20 minutes. No, I am not smart.

I'm at 2400. I was treading water at about 900 until I was able to double up off someone who had all of four outs on the flop, and then win a couple more pots.

Speak of the devil. Up to 4K after flopping three kings against pocket rockets.

3 minutes from level 5 and Im jsut bleeding chips away in the blinds. I don't think Ive won a pot yet. Down to 515.

oops just doubled up to 1105 while getting ready to post this.

Three quarters of the way through level 5 and I'm getting smothered. Down to T1000.

Im out SB vs BB hand... I try to steal and my opponent flops QQ to go with the QJ in his hand. Checks it till the river where I hit part of my hand, and he got me to bust.

The field seems quite a bit tougher than the $30 MTT field. Much more agressive, for one.

I'm out...folded to me in the CO with TT, 75/150 blinds. I push for about 1000. AK small blind hits his Ace on the flop.

[WillMagic]

I'm still around with about T5300. Unfortunately, my table is pretty tough, and it's not going to break for a while, so it might be difficult to accumulate chips.

I'm out as well. I was also at a tough table like Will. When I busted out in 320's, 5 of the players at my table were still there from the beginning. We only had four players bust out in 2 hours of play.

I [censored] up bad though, completely my fault. I was low stack for so long, and had 550 in the CO when I pick up ATo, after 1 limper. I go all-in and the BB follows suit for 850 chips, but the limper calls.

The BB has 99, limper QJ suited, but I win the pot on a Jxx-x-A board.

This took me to 1850 chips.

And then I brainfarted. Folded to me with QT, I raise to 450 (3 times BB), SB (big stack) puts me all-in, and leaves me 1400 to call - and guess what I FRIGGIN CALL! Oops! For a split second I still felt like I was in low stack-all-in mode and that I had to call.

Obviously I shoulda folded as I still woulda had 1400 chips with the big blinds 150. SB had JJ, flopped his set, and I was drawing dead.

Just a split second mistake throws my whole tourney away. Does anyone have any tips to help me from making stupid mistakes like this? Should I perhaps force myself to wait for the 20 second warning before ever deciding to go all-in?

[Tyler Durden]

I busted 299. I had KK on the button, blinds 75/150, I had 1900. MP makes it 450, I make it 1025, w/ 2 seconds left he moves in, I call, he has AJ and flops an Ace. I was bummed out.

Will, you still in? If so, what's your handle?

[cferejohn]

I'm out. I was really happy with how I played right up to my last hand ***warning, bad beat story***. ~130 left (110 pay). I have ~T7000, which is about average. I raise to 1100 w/ AKo from the CO. SB re-raises to 3200. I push. He calls. He has Q2 of spades. 2 aces and 2 spades on the flop. Turn is a spade. River is no help.

Aggravating, but it goes without saying that I'll take that every time.

[La Brujita]

That is an ugly beat cferejohn, that sucks.

[fnurt]

can't compete with the bad beat story, but I finished 117, still wondering where all the chips bled away to!
