124 players to start. 10 dropped out in the first 12 minutes. I had 88 on the button and lost to a set of 4's. Fortunatly the opponent is a passive fish so my chip count is 765 (1000 to start).

[zuluking]

I get QQ in the SB, chip leader at table raises 65, i go all in and take it down. 830 chips.

The blinds have gone by a few times and I now have 750.

[zuluking]

I get AJ suited in LP and raise 3x the blinds. Button calls. Flop is KJ8, I bet 125, button folds. chip count 840. 88 players left, I've been moved to table #1...an omen?

Do you have to take first, or is just have have to finish in the top X%? Like 10% or something?

Thanks for the support guys.

Looking back on the last hand, the villian had the big stack at the table. When the blinds hit 50/100, the table tightened up quite a bit, so I think he was going for a MP steal with his 89 suited. A marginal play, but he had 1,500 chips more than the closest person, and I think 3-1 over me and CO, button, SB and BB, so a steal attempt was not completely out of the question for him.

I should have re-raised, or gone all-in over the top of him I guess, but its dicey with 10 10 facing the big stack MP raise, so I just called. Then, with 4 clubs, you can't blame him for calling my all-in.
