I ran the $700's yesterday with puke style results. I was expecting them to be tough fields and they def were. I busted the 10 guarnteed 102 of 385 never got going. The puke part was the 5 guaranteed. 206 runners with 8 getting the trip and I bust 10th @%@%^^#$%#@.
I rode a short stack from about 80 in. Had a 3 - 8 M the whole time. Finally got going with 20ish left once the $700 payouts started. Wasn't really trying to cash just was absolutely card dead and the ones I got ended with no action. We played 13 handed for an hour and half with all the shorties building back up till the stacks were 100k to 30k with blinds at 1500/3000. It was shovefest with very few calls at that point. I get QQ to hold with 12 to go to grab chip lead.
Then only hand I regret whole tourney with 11 to go one of the shorties shoves and I got AKo. I'm sitting second at time and his shove is about half my stack. I full timebank and call, he has KK and I cant find my A. I really had a gut feeling that I had him and if I did I'd had big chip lead and also quaranteed a seat. Anyway got behind trying a few steals then had to shove 33 when I was shortstack. Obv get 99 call. 542 flop 2 turn and %!@&(# J to whifff 10 outs on river.
Really made me sick knowing I was right there, $700 buyin back made me feel a lil better. Still felt good that I could hold my own with the top online pros and also a few world class live players that I was at tables with. One thing keeping me going is the Step 6 I still have left for one more chance. Gonna play it after Dec 1 to get the vpps in December. Goal for next month is 7500 vpps and Platinum Star. Step 6 is worth 550 vpps so makes for a good start, but more on that later.
