€35 freeze-out NL tournament. 72 entrants.
4th place: €180, plus €10 for one "bounty", when you knock a player out
starting stack: 10.000
started out rough getting check-raised all the time by two annoying fags behind me. then doubled up and then some with AA against top pair with flush draw.
gained more chips untill i had like 40.000.... then i sorta got crippled in the big DEGREE all in moment. i had AK and raise it to 7000 (blinds are 1000-2000). someone goes all in for 7000 more. i call, he shows K-10. dominating position til the ten hit the river... left with about 30.000 instead of the 60.000+ i shoulda had
then the blinds went up to 1500-3000....
anyway i started getting bad cards and when the next break hit i had 3 big blinds left! i had 16000 and the blinds were 2500-5000. and i was in the BB after the break. so first hand it gets folded around, button calls, SB folds. i go all-in with A-2. get called by button who shows A-Q. flop 3-4-4. turn 5! OK i double up and then some because of the antes
hand after this i get AK, gets folded to me, i push. pick up the blinds and antes. hand after that i get 88, gets folded to me again i push all-in again. and take the blinds and antes again. now i definitately had something to shoot with again compared to the first hand after the break
this was when like 26 people were still left.
anyway i managed to hold it down until the final table. i had K-t in the big blind, and the silly c*nt who went over the top of me with K10 earlier had limped, it gets folded to me from there. i look at him and push all-in. he calls with T-J, doubles me up.
a few moments later i catch A-K. i push, get called by someone in the BB who only has to add a little to the pot compared to what it already is including the antes from everyone etc. so he calls and shows 8-6.... flop Q-7-7... turn: 6..  ............ river: Q  excellent!
this was the tourney in a nutshell, it was last saturday so i left out quite a few moments as you can understand.
anywa I managed to outlast the idiot who crippled me plus many many more people who came and went on my table with bigger stacks then i had so i felt pretty good about the cash.

Be excited, but don't be cocky. I've found my worst slumps start when I start thinking I'm better than I really am.
