December 4, 2011, 11AM: Played 5 hours at MGM
$80 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (3rd out of 42 Players)

Played so well!!! 3rd was a disappointing.  early on just started buying chips hardly contested.  bluffed a lot of small pots and had a hand when called.  resistance here and there but not much.  I was either 1st or 2nd in chips at the 1st table until I got Q 10 on the button and a guy in 2nd position limp then called my small raise.  flop comes Q 2 9 he bets small i call then k turn he bets small and i call then river a 4 he checks and i value.  he calls with Q 8 next hand i get aa a raise and he calls he flops an a he shoves i call he has a 7 and from there the stack just grew i grew my chips to about 35k with about 28 players left we started with 6000. total chip count was 252k so i already had final table chips.  continued to show my dominance winning every hand by the river.  i coast to final table with about 80k i get aa a few hands into it and the kk not long after and increase to 90k after knocking out the 2 short stacks.  then it was basically a shove fest at the table and i was card dead after that and all my steal attempts were getting shoved against.  we get down to 6 and i was still in command of the chip lead i agree to the stupid bubble getting 80 back ( i need to stop doing that i enjoy the button play) but it was a cheap tourney and i was trying to be friendly then they wanted to chop and i refused we get down to 3 players i have lost the chip lead and was actually the bottom in chips.  somebody else offered a chop i would have taken but the chip leader kept talking about how she was wanting to leave the whole time and now had to consult her husband.  at that point i said lets just play.  it was 650 or so chop value and it was 450 for 3rd and 600 for 2nd.  one guy kept shoving and she had just gotten a little lucky at the end with a couple of suck outs. she then wanted to chop but i said just lets play knowing I'm the superior player by far.  about 4 hands into that i min and a half raise from the button the small blind shoves like he does so often bb (chip leader) folds i make the call he shows a 7 flop to low cards and an a tuns a k rivers a 7. bullshit that was! But shit happens i knew i was going to have to not get sucked out against but thought he had like kq not a 7 and hit just the 3 outer.  but still felt good to have been able to build such a commanding lead even though it all went to waste with such few good hands.  ak once aa twice kk twice 99 once and that was it for 5 hours.  and 99 i had to fold to raise reraise preflop. so happy with my performance and always good to come out ahead.  was my 1st tourney and mgm very soft field (or maybe just my 1st table)
