Nothing much to say about the tournament except for I was the chip leader at the table with 6375 in chips at the first break (started with 3k and 25/25), but proceed to lose 3 coin flips in a row after the break and everyone else but me was literally short stacking and forced me to flip with them.

Hand 1 (50/100)
UTG (a monkey) with about 4500 in chips opens to 250
UTG1, short stack shoved for 575
UTG2, another short stack over called for 450
Me (Mp1) looked down AKss, decided to reshove, then everyone including the pfr folded.

UTG1 had JJ, UTG2 had T6o...AKs...that's okay...i had pretty good equity in the pot...
obv didn't bink. oh well...at least it's not a significant big pot..

Hand 2 50/100
UTg folded to Mp3 (who was the major contributor to my big stack in lvl 2) opened to 250, he's been opening quite a few pots after the break.
folded to me in sb with JJ.
I looked at his stack and found him had only 2200 left, so I decided to try to get money in pre cuz JJ is obv ahead of his range.
I made it 750 and he shipped for the rest of his chips and flipped AKo...okay, another flip..

Flop came.. KQc4c...didn't improve...great, this really almost crippled me down to 3200 in chips..

Hand 3 (75/150)

guy who won the flip opened utg2 to 400, a new guy who just sat down 1 orbit ago..seems tight and had about 6500 in chips called, folded to me otb and looked down AQdd. I knew i couldn't fold this cuz there were too much in the pot already (400+400+75+150=1025), I only needed to win 1025/3200+1025= 24% of the time to make my shove profitable. So I shoved and pfr folded but the new guy tanked for a min and reluctantly called with TT...nice, another flip, one time plz?

Flop brought 459 and obv I couldn't bink when I needed to...out on the first event I played.

conclusion: I believe I played this tournament very well but just unfortunate to be on the wrong side of the variance. Looking forward to next week's event.
