Hand 1: (10/15)

limp 66 after two callers, BB min raises, everyone calls

Flop: 9 Q 9

raiser bets 60, 1 call, I fold (after thinking about raising)

Results: both opponents have AK and split

Hand 2: K8 in SB, complete, auto-minbet, no showdown.

Hand 3: I fold KQo in EP, LP OPP raises 75 with KTs and calls all in from next guy (opp had Q9s!), I make a note of it.

Hand 4: One limper, I raise to 125 with AQs on button, all fold

Hand 5: KQs in BB, I fold to min raise & reraise.

Hand 6 [+1000]: limp 77 on Button, Flop is Q T 7, donk opponent that called all-in with KTs pushes for 3200 into 100 pot, I think a while, see that there is no possible made straight and call, opponent has QT for two pair.

Stack (1960)

Hand 7: I complete T5o in SB w/ one limper. Flop is J 9 5. I bet 60 into pot of 90 and take it down.

Stack (2035)

Hand 8 [+75]: Blinds (15/30) One limper, I have JJ in MP, raise to 125. All fold

Stack (2110)

Hand 9: T4o in BB, button limps, SB completes, flop 10 9 4, I bet 30 on flop, one caller, check through turn, and bet pot on river. he thinks a while and folds.....Horrible line I know...

Hand 10: T4o in SB, Limper on button again, I raise to 75 (not enough), limper calls, and folds to pot sized bet on A Q 6 flop

Blinds increase to 25/50

Hand 11: Raise 99 in LP to 175, all fold.

Stack (2300)

Hand 12: I fold 52o to min raise from LP....He had 900 left after, so I didn't figure to resteal

Hand 13 [+1000]: In SB, one limper on button again, I raise to 175 with KJo, both call
Flop K 2 3 rainbow, I check hoping to trap, BB who has 620 left pushes w/ As 8s, button folds, and I call.

At the first break stack (3315)

Blinds 50/100

Hand 13 [-50]: I complete 7s 4s in SB after two limpers, BB pushes and I fold.

Hand 14 [+150]: KQo, I raise to 350 3.5BB, in button + 2, and take the blinds.

Blinds 75/150

Hand 15 [+550]: AKo in LP, a raise to 400 in Late MP (seen him raise 400 once before in same position so I figured a steal was in order), I push and he folds.

Hand 16 : *first suckout* one limper, I raise to 600 w/ TT, Flop is Kd Jd Qc, he min bets and I raise to 500, he calls, 2 comes off on turn and I push (I have him covered ~ 700), he calls with AKo, river is an ace, and I win with straight (thought I could rep two pair here, but my mistake was nothing changed when he called the raise). Oh well, so much for playing a perfect tournament.

Stack (6000)

bunch of blind steals:
After a min raise in SB, w/ K3s and a fold (he ran his time bank down and folded, I was laughing), a raise w/ AJo to 425 in MP, this hand happened.

Hand 17: Kh Qd in CO + 1, I raise to 325 (not enough), SB thinks and calls
FLOP: Ah Jh Kd, Opponent bets 400 (half pot) I swiftly call (think opponent might be on weak ace), opponent checks turn which is 3h: giving me nut flush draw + inside straight draw + middle pair, and opponent has shown weakness, I bet 1100 in 1300 pot, and he folds.

Up to (8000)

Blinds 100/200 down to (7000)
missed perfect spot for squeeze play....big stack min raises on button (probably blind steal), SB calls and I call w/ K8o
Flop Q 7 4
check folded flop, after it was checked around and min raiser overbet pot by 2300 into 1200 pot.

SB complete, autobet on flop takes down blinds

Hand 19 resteal w/ 33: Min raising opponent in LMP, min raises again to 400, I reraise to 1100, all fold.

Stack (8000)

Hand 20: Opp w/ 2900 open pushes, I fold AKo - Bad?

Blind 150/300 - At this point in the tournament I went nuts, maybe I overheated or something...

Hand 21: ick, MP w/ A4o, i raise to 800, call all-in from short stack (not in blinds) for 800 more, he had AKs. Did i have odds for this????? 150 + 300 + 800 =

Stack (6200)

Hand 22: AA, in FP, I limp, no action, SB completes, SB, BB check/fold flop

Need to start concentrating more on the game, I'm starting to play badly

Stack (6300) stacks at my table two big stacks

Hand 23: Big stack raise my SB to 1100 w/ K8o on button, BB short stack pushes for 200 more, wins with JTo. I thought about pushing this hand but I had K4s and wanted to wait for a better hand.

Hand 24: I limp with Q6, in LP intended to bet the flop, why? It was a terrible idea, for some reason, I thought an open limp would look scary....go figure...

Hand 25: Min raise A7o to steal blinds, get reraised by chip leader, and cold called by other big stack, decide I'm dominated and fold.

Hand 26: Fold AJs to 1000 raise in EP, was intending to push.

Stack (4000)

Hand 27: I push QQ on button after EP min raise and short stack call for half his stack, min raiser folds, short stack calls with AJo and I'm good.

Hand 28: KTs Button + 1, raise to 1000 get called by big stack, flop: 10 7 4, big stack min bets and I push for 4500, big stack w/ 9k left folds - I think I should suck more chips out of this....probably a leak

Hand 29: Blind steal K8s in LMP, to 1000. all fold
(Up to 8700)

Blinds 300/600,

Hand 30: short stack pushes for 1200 w/ AQs, SB folds, I call with 63s in BB, no luck, did I have odds here?

Hand 31: Raise to 1700 w/ JKo in EP all fold.
Hand 32: (next hand): KJo in FP, I fold

Hand 33: KK in MP, FP min raises to 1200, I put him all in. he runs out time bank and folds, ack, better line anyone?? Villian said he folded a small pair

Hand 34: Next hand Q9o in BB, flop Q 7 4, I check raise small stack to 3000k, big stack pushes I have 6k left and I fold top pair mk which I hardly ever do at this level of blinds. But big stack wasn't in blinds, so I assumed my kicker was bad.

Moved to New table ITM now $

Blinds 400/800

first hand at new table:

Hand 35: open pushed JJ in Early LP w/ 5400, all fold. Too aggro with my good hands?

Stack (6800)

Hand 36: I open fold in SB 92s, huge stack in BB, he shows 73o

Stack (6400)

consider pushing K6, J2, K2, in EP but don't

Stack (5200) after folding BB & SB to multiple all-ins

Hand 37: I'm in SB with ATs I decide to push if it gets around to me, Opponent in MP raise to 2700, I really considered folding here, but the words weak tight came in my head (learning those words have probably hurt my game a lot), I manage to convince myself that it is possible he is stealing blinds so I push he calls with AQs, and I'm out in 183 with a giant $8.36 payday. That's the highest I placed in the 40k, so I think overall I did fairly well. I think I really need to really pay more attention to gap concept in those critical times. Anybody else push this here?

Hope you enjoyed reading this, any comments, questions? I think it's interesting to note that I didn't get into any coin flips for all my chips the entire tournament...Unless you count that TT v AKo suckout hand with the open ended straight draw.

I agree.

In my experience you almost never see a weaker ace in this spot. At best you are going to a showdown against a low pocket pair (Your FE is probably about 5%). Without a read I fold this. You still have 6x the bb and position. Why get impatient?

Steal some blinds. And if you dont get the oppurtunity by your next orbit you will have moved up 40 spots anyways.

Interesting laydown. You're getting great odds on this hand and have already committed over a third of your stack; of course he may have the Q, but I could just as easily put him on a flush or straight draw, particularly because if he held a Q he really wouldn't want to see it checked around.
