Wow. How did I bust out? HH, crazy swing

[filsho]

Alright. I ventured to the 20's for a couple since the 10 & 5's I usually play were down. As you'll see, with 4 people left I held over half of the chips in play. I busted out 4th. Yeah, horrible. Here's the hand history when it starts going downhill. Any advice would really be appreciated.

The first hand cost you 1/3 of your chips, but it was the right call.

Frankly, it looks like a combination of bad luck and bad cards. I had the chip lead last night in a tournament and lost most of it in 2 hands because I decided to play like I had the chip lead, which I did, and call two all-in bets that weren't very substantial. I think it's the chip leader's responsibility to call with any two cards and try to knock people out of the tournament.

That said, I was surprised the chip leader didn't call your all-in of about double the big blind when you had Q/10o.

Anyway, I would chalk it up to a combination of bad luck.

I might have called this one Game No : 1078890825
and hoped he was on a diamond draw and didn't hit it. Not sure to be honest.

[Chief911]

Not commenting on specific hands, it seems like you bled off a lot of chips by only CALLING alot of hands. On several big hands you just called/checked it down, instead of being the aggressor. I think especially when you got into the 1500 chip range, you called off big chunks of your stack calling with hands that were probably behind. In those positions you have to either fold, or try to push your opponent off their hand with a strong raise.

I folded in fear of a better ace.



To chief: Yeah, I did bleed some. It looked like good hands, but not good enough to push with. Probably should have pushed in some of those spots.
