Sun Nite Freeroll

Not quite the $500 spectacle of yesteryear but actually with fewer players this isn't so bad. Let's get into the hands.

Was basically a folding station up until this hand (although I did get 1 walk in the BB surprisingly). Here I take a 1/2 pot stab hoping he'd fold Kx or worse and he obliges. First time I'm over starting stack.

Go back to being a folding station but get this interesting hand and limp behind with it. I figure with 2 overcards and the open ender I can semibluff here. Really wanted to just raise pot but it was going to commit me either way so I just put it in. It probably looked like too big of a bet to be a strong hand (to villain) as he snapped me off with A8o. So I'm behind and that takes away a couple of my outs. The sweet 9 of justice comes on the river though and I take it down. I call that justice cause I think it was a bad call from him. Gotta respect my raise when I've been nitting it up at the table.

Matusow-esque check here in the BB with a "raising" hand but I hate my fold equity prospects here. Absolute shit flop for TPTK, but they make it so easy by just betting the minimum on the flop.

After this hand and a table change the escalating blinds continued to eat away at my stack as I was dealt absolute shit for cards. Then finally got a hand, and no first in vig needed here.

Going into this hand there were 33 left with 30 getting paid and I had the shortest stack of the remaining players. No way could I survive by folding my way into the money; it was me that everyone was waiting for to bust out of the tournament. Villain in this hand had TT so great scenario for my jacks and we hold up. Now we're going to cash.

Guy who called me had AQ. I stay alive despite getting back into the dead zone territory in terms of stack size.

This time I get one through without having to sweat a run out (or really come from behind). We have not only made the money at this point but jumped up a level in the payout. Fewer than 25 left at this stage.

As per tournament protocol I must give away a sizeable portion of my stack in blinds and antes. Actually make it down to the final 2 tables and get absolutely nothing to work with so get blinded down to 1.5 BBs and of course gonna shove an ace. Was hoping only the BB would call and I get my wish. He had K4 so I was ahead but that's definitely an above average hand for a guy that was priced in to call with any two. I knew I was on borrowed time and even typed in the chat "nice playing with you all" prior to sticking in my last 9200.

Finished 14th out of 154 for $1.52. Played for a little over 2 hours; I want to say it's equal to the time commitment to min-cash when it was a $500 prize pool but with a larger field.  I was short stacked for a lot of this and still made the final two tables.
