Playing pokerstars WSOP giveaway. Around 341 entrants and I have been card dead since second level, just staying afloat stealing blinds. There are around 40 players left and I have 10K after luckily doubling through with KQo against TT. Blinds are 200-400 with a 25 ante. I get 44 in the BB and its folded to the SB with about 6.5K who makes it 1600 to go.
Here´s what I know: In an hour plus at this table, its only been folded to the SB when I have the BB once. He folded. The SB seems to be a decent player and has made several raises from the cutoff and button. Both times he has been played back at, he folded. The only hand I´ve shown down is that KQo. I have been pretty active stealing the blinds and have folded to every reraise, so my image is probably on the loose side. I have not reraised out of the blinds however. I also know that the biggest stack in the tourney is inching towards 40K at this point.
I moved all in.
As you might gather, the story doesnt have a happy ending but I´m not too worried about that. My bigger question is whether this move was out of line. Sometimes I think that I get too frustrated, especially online, when not getting cards for really extended periods and end up being too aggressive in marginal situations. But then again, while places 3-9 got paid some in this tourney, the prize was really the two entries to the WSOP, so getting a stack is at a premium.
All comments appreciated. Thanks.
