Had to post this:
Well, I had another large tourney today, and I was feeling pretty good heading in.
I had a beta chip on fulltiltpoker for trying their site out, and entered the freeroll. I figure what the hell, better use it before its gone.
Anyways, I am short stacked (as always it seems - lol), and 11 remain. Blinds are 800/1600. I have about 9k. I lost a huge pot with pocket 9's and a low rag flop - beat by a set and by pocket aces. Damn!!!!!!
Anyways, I just got off doubling up the very last hand with a str. draw semi-bluff.
I get AQs on the button, folded to me.
I push.
A tighter guy than me in the BB calls (30k) - I figure I'm toast. I was!
He had KK. I say "OK, I need an ace". Flop comes with a King - I'm out.
All in all I played a great game I thought. My pocket 9's move was STUPID, and I should have folded preflop, that was the major play of the game. See, all it takes is one F up and it can be the end of your tournament. Luckily, I was one of the chip leaders when I got my nines.
My thinking on my AQ hand was that SB was uber-tight, so he would fold to an allin raise, unless I'm beat, and that was the chance I was willing to take. The ante was 200/piece so the pot had 3800 in it, and I wanted people to think it was a blind steal. (6 remaining at my table) The BB was a shorter stack than me, so I figure he wasn't going to risk all his chips on the bubble for the bigger money with junk, unless he put me on that blind steal - which is what I wanted. Well, I was right about the SB and it cost me.
Damn, I definetly overplayed my AQ, but I was hoping for the win as I do in every freeroll I play.
Feel free to rip me a new one about my AQ, I feel I made the right move BUT it's never the right move when you lose.

I feel the same way about JJ,.. I rarely win with that hand-- maybe 1:7 ... lately though,... it has been alright,.. but i'd rather have 10's than J's...
