January 3, 2008, 10PM: Played 5 hours, 30 minutes, Broke Even at PS
Free-Roll Razz Tournament (18th out of 4856 Players)

Freeroll, top 88 get seat to $2K stud tourney
 
Just messing around when I jumped into this freeroll, but here I am over 2 hours into it and still playing.  For some reason I just can't get myself to dump chips and go to bed.  It could be that I don't ever play Razz.  I wish I could play this well in my other tourneys.  My starting hand selection has been good, I have been selectively aggressive, and I have been laying hands down early without chasing.
 
Whatever the outcome, it leaves me with the question: Should I look into playing razz, or was I unlucky and played a freroll on a night where I was actually playing poker well?
 
At third break there are 295 left, I have about 1.5 times avg stack.  Even though this is a freeroll crowd (don't care, take chances, etc.), getting to the top 5% of any large field tourney is still pretty good.
 
Fourth break 111 left, I have over 2 x avg so won't play a hand unless forced to or below 6 starting.  I guess I should read up on stud before Sunday afternoon.
 
Made the seat, now just playing for pride and waiting for the wife to get home from work.  Just need to make sure I can get up and around Sunday by noon.
