Thur 23rd May - £50+6 Deepstack Freezeout - 2/38
Yeah, came 2nd. Didn"t deserve to. First time in a long time I"ve run significantly above EV (now I know how the droolers feel). Only bit of my game working was value betting.
Even chip 4 way for £400 when 2nd in chips though only a shade above average (all of us v close), with £88 extra for the winner. 2 good players and 1 dreadful player, normally would prefer to play on but was taking me 3 peeks at my cards to differentiate between spades and diamonds. Ended up losing heads up.

Cheers guys.
The big one still to go, so hopefully turn the break even into some profit, Brian!

Bit more awake so can say a bit more about the tournament.
Timing was off all night, and given I was on tables against opponents I"ve had a fair bit of history with it was a pretty funky night. Being results-orientated I always seemed to 3b/4b when it was wrong to, and bottle the opportunities when it was right to (though not 4betting 23hh on an A56r board can"t ever be too wrong!). Fortunately the tournament has the best casino structure I"ve ever seen - the average stack going onto the final table was over 40BBs, and I had over 70!
The major key hand was at 600/1200, two limps from weaker players, I may a big iso raise from the SB to 6400 with 88, and the BB (who thinks my range is pretty wide at any time) asks how much I"ve got and then moves in for ~30k. It"s a pretty bleurgh spot, probably should pass but I make the call, get shown QQ and get there on K9675. He wasn"t happy, but it gave me a stack I could kick on with so perhaps it was the right call even if in a bubble it was -EV? Probably justifying after the event, but I"ll take it! ;)
I have a major downer on the standard of local casino players - but plenty of good ones floating around yesterday, so was a properly fun tournament even if I didn"t play my best.
