$0.25 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (3rd out of 90 Players)

Wow! This MTT brought a lot of interesting turns - one being the fact I was down to 800 chips and 8 players left (the others all had well over 20000 chips), was able to bring my chip stack back up to 38000 from there, and just kinda grinded it out till I finished in 3rd. The bad part is the fact I folded so many nut hands over and over and over - even a straight flush, as well as a huge pot that the guy showed his 2/4 off suit bluff, I was so pissed, but rarely is anyone able to put me on tilt, so with my jaw clenched I started running the clock each and every hand - every single hand in a row, which is such a bogus thing to do to the rest of the players, but they dont give a rats ass about me so F-them, it proves to be a winning strategy for me! When the bluff shower went out I began to play in a regular timely manner, ultimately his bluff hurt him more than me. :) This is a tournament that I should have won by a landslide, but my tight style led to an early death. I'm realizing my primary mistake, again-and-again, is folding - not calling!
