Last night I played in this tournament at the Muckleshoot Casino. The structure is good and you get 10k in starting chips blinds start @ 50/100 and they double after every 15 minutes. With that being said I didn't get off to a great start and really was crippled at the table due to other people raising etc before I was in a pot and not catching any hands. So I hung around and right before break I played a hand at the 200/400 level where I raised to 1200 w/99 from UTG and then the SB ships on me and I fold because I see that I will have what I started with left and no need to race and pick a better spot. He flipped over AK which I would of been in a race but its a good fold I think. After break, I shoved a couple of times and then came the hand that knocked me out. I had two limpers in front of me and in late position I have JJ and I ship for like 10k when the blinds are 750/1500 and I get one caller and he has AQ. Q on the flop gg me. Nothing tilts me to more end that limp callers and it sucked I went out like that because I would of been punishing the rest of the field with my stack. Besides thats the second time AQ has taken me out of a live tournament last time it was 99 vs AQ.
When talking to someone about my tournie play in the 12's I see that I am at best probably around a break even player. I have a smaller sample size >250 but <500 but I still can see where this conclusion can be made. I have been offered a type of staking/coaching deal and I think I will take it. I won't put any names on this blog or the deal structure but the guy is really good and I feel like it will benefit me greatly. I think I am going to go ahead with the deal so I can up my game because I can't stand to be grinding to be break even. I don't even make enough fpp's to make it worthwhile if that was the case so we will see. As things materialize more I will talk about it on the blog. Well till next time!
