Default You have to be kidding me....

Take 2 weeks off, finally decide to give it a try again. Even changed sites. Villain here has been mega-aggro all tourny, built his stack with huge overbets and steals.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (8 handed) converter

CO (t5184)
Button (t5030)
SB (t9910)
BB (t3652)
UTG (t2420)
UTG+1 (t20942)
MP1 (t5388)
Hero (t12523)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls t600, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t2500</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t5000</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls t2500.

Flop: (t11500) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG+1 checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (t11500) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG+1 checks, UTG+1 calls t7523.

River: (t19023) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t19023

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
UTG+1 has 9h 9d (four of a kind, nines).
Hero has As Ad (full house, aces full of nines).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins t19023. </font>

I guess I'm just not cut out for MTTs. Thought I played too tightly, tried loosening it up and working on my LAG game, no dice. Left Stars for Party thinking I could tighten up and be more successful without the ante structure, no luck.

I wouldn't care if I could at least make the damn money every now and then, this is at least 30 top 15% finishes out of the money. Is this just life in the &lt;$100 buyin world?

Ok, I'm sorry. I haven't gotten quads since November but they've beaten me 4 times in the last month.

I sure as hell didn't think this was as common as it is. Back to the drawing board, I guess.
