Thanks for the reply Oz. I think you are reading me well [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I should say...although may be embarrased to do so..but I have been playing NL tourneys for those 11 years...just much more LHE. Before the poker boom..I thought I was a decent NL tourney player and have cashed in some decent sized events...but lately, I feel that I have really fallen behind the curve. I feel fine in NL SnGs and NL cash games when I play them...but my MTT game feels so brutal right now.

FWIW, I nearly timed out..and decided to make the call, hit the 7 on the river and called when he pushed with his trip 8s. I felt it was very borderline, but I decided to gamble.

I ended up winning a huge pot with AA vs KK vs AQ to build to about 38k...then slowly whittled my way down to 20k before donking it off with about 130 people left.

Thanks for the responses and for the reading recs.
