My chipstack is now a healthy 1910. I can breathe for a few hands.
Hand 7 - Fishing and a nice little suckout. Note the misplay of the person who flopped trips and tried to slowplay it multi-way.

My chip stack is now a very healthy 2400
Hand 10 - I raise 5BB W/AQo in early position, two callers, null flop. I give it up. Chipstack = 2300
Hand 18 - KK, and pokerstars freezes up and auto-folds me. My internet connection was fine.
Hand 19 - TT and I reraise a guy with half my chip count. He calls, turns over 77 and fails to suck out. My chip count is 3085
Hand 25 - I toss 75o early position and the flop is 775. Bummer.
Hand 26 - Here is a typical example of the level of play in the early stages of a 180 tourney. I was very lucky that the third guy came along for the ride with a crappy hand.

My chip count is now 5915, which is nowhere near the table big stack of 25K by a luck box to my left who likes to limp any two cards.
Hand 68 - I'm dealth KQo on the button and fold to a 3BB raise. The raiser was GoldenRic, who I picked as a decent player whose raises should be respect. He went on to take third in the tourney. The flop was K38, but if he had big slick, I was in a world of trouble.
Hand 79 - A coin flip against a smaller stack goes well.

My chip stack is now 7053, which is mediocre for the table I'm at. Luckbox is still at 21K
Hand 80 - I raise 4BB w/QQ and get two callers. The flop is J52 with two hearts, and my half-pot continuation bet gets no callers. Chip stack is 8953.
Hand 83 - Note the questionable call I make here. This player had been playing any two cards, and making lots of scary looking bets. I figured this was a good opportunity to double up or go to bed.

I have just advertised my willingness to be agressive with third pair. Will it pay?
Hand 164 - I utg raise w/JTs and get no callers.
Hand 172 - I toss 33 to the table captains early position 4BB raise. He had made a large number of uncontested 4BB raises, so this might have been a good place to make a stand, but I don't like 33 so much.
Hand 175 - Sometimes a reraise answers your questions. There is no way I could have been ahead on the turn, unless this guy was brain dead or was looking into my soul.

Hand 176 - I finally stand up to the table captain. Believe it or not, he turns into the little professor after this hand, and lectures me for several hands about how bad my play was. I felt that after losing the prior hand, I needed to double up soon or be in trouble, and I knew that I couldn't be any worse than a coin flip with this all-in.

Hand 201 - Cheeky BB play betting into the flush draw leads to a luckbox river. I think this player should have raised w/AQ in the SB rather than assuming he would catch and trap me.

I'll take a moral victory for having the better hand pre-flop.
I didn't need to suck out much at all to make it to second in this tourney. A couple of coin flips, sure, but I was never all-in and worse than 45% to win.
