$109 game 26 entrants, again i cash , i cant decide whether my luck was even , in favour, or against me it was such a rollercoaster. Lost a few coinflips but won an 88 vs KK to stay in with 6 left when it paid to 5. I also won a big pot when i tried to push a guy off a jack high flop , he couldnt fold his KJoff but my AQ was good for overcards and it was his tournament on the line as i had 2700 chips left at the time if i lost the pot of 5k . One of the coinflips a few hands before that being a massive pot to have gone huge chip leader on 15k with 6 left (see bottom of this paragraph for details) , next stack down being only 8k at the time. Once it went 4 handed i lost a J10 vs A9 to have gone 25k leader vs 20k vs 7k 3 way. Then i also lost a AQstd vs 88 to go 17k vs 20k vs 14k 3 way. I crashed out next hand with A9 vs 910 ! , only a 4k pot there though. I enjoyed it but again im disappointed to have exit where i did without getting decent money. Return was $350 so could have been worse and its still profit for a day where ive only played 2 hrs cash this morning ($75$ profit) and just this tournament. Again with the exception of a couple of players , its so obvious that most people in this tournament only like to play premium hands at key times and moan when they dont hold up or they dont get any premium hands. Ive now cashed in this tournament 6 out of the last 7 times ive played it since returning from America so my agressive variable style is paying off and i know some players now believe i raise with any crap in some situations. The AQstd being one of those as they were not even in the hand and stuck their whole stack in when i was pot committed after a raise where my lowest holding to raise with in that position at the time would be AJstd, they were not weak and it was gutting to see the 1010 not hold up because it should have been an easy fold for them if they were any good but they commented that they knew my range for raising there. They didnt because they had been watching me on a shorthanded table before and they were very lucky not to run into KK or AK the way i raised the hand.
