Thanks for the support was an incredible tournament to play in. 10,000 chips, 90 minute blind levels (including 75-150
). I was on Mike Matusow"s table for most of day one, so my ipod was redundant. I had a good time chatting to him and he regailed us with stories and made some interesting points. For instance he believes the perfect structure for a five day tournament is 75 minute levels, 30,000 chips 25-50 starting level.
I was above average all of day two and looked set to cruise into the money and go deep, then in a mad hour i went from 90k to 13k and was lucky to cash. Bluffed 28k off with 6 high, then with 63 left (54 paid) got moved to a new table. First hand I make it 4.5k to go (800/1600/200) and get 5 callers! Flop Q-2-2, i bet, get smooth called and then raised so that"s another 15k gone. Then two more raises which get called, i miss completly and have to check fold.
So now with less than 40k left i find myself card dead, near the bubble and on a table full of aggressive players who know how to play the bubble and can do nothing about it.
