Another $1500 donkfest.

I am in all confidence to say that I played the best tournament poker in my entire poker career in this event, tho the result went the opposite.

My stack went from 4500 to 1300 in the first orbit when my AK < QQ aipf; but that's not it! I made a sick come back just couple of hours later.

first I had 79hh on 88998 board and this fish bet/fold the river (which is weird cuz it wasn't much more for him to call) and my stack was back up to 2400.

Few hands later, I had AhAd on Kd5d6d board when the same fish c/r and called my 3bet shove w/ 8x8d and my AA held up.

Then I had AdQx on A3d6d board where I bet/3b jam on this idiot's "raise to see where he was at" bet and he mucked. That brought my stack to above 7k

Then the very next hand, I had AJo on J85r against a rando and the fish on my right where he c/c the flop cbet and left himself 4k in the pot of 8k and folded to my shove on the turn 6. This pot brought my stack to over 12k at 100/200 which is the chip leader on my table of passive donks and fish.

After exchanging some chips as a bank on the table, friggin variance decided to say hi to other players.

One major pots that I lost is: the fish limp (who's vpip is 80/5 ish), guy on my right (with 7k) who's been playing tight, raised to 700, I flat w/ AxQs on the co and btn flats, bb who has 2500 only also flats, fish was like..okay pot odds and he flats. So 3500 to the flop. Flop came AsKsTs (bang! top pair plus royal draw!), bb open shoves 1800, fish reshoves for 4k total and pfr folded and I snapped.

bb showed 56ss and fish showed KTcc. I got the nut flush on the turn but the effing river paired the K. The fish was jumping up and down and yelling and saying something like "i'm on my way to the final table" like he never wins an all in pot before. That hand brought my stack down to about 7k.

Then I proceed to lose few small pots and had 5.5k left which is still okay given the blinds were still 100/200 at the time.

few hands later, the guy on my right lost big chunk of his stack w/ his AK aipf against QQ and couldn't hit and he had 4bb left; so he started to shove like a maniac and brought his stack up to 1700ish before he doubles up through me on this hand.

Folds to him in the mp2 and he open ships again and I looked down ATo and decided to reship, everyone folded. He turned over A5o and I was v happy with my read but the flop J58 killed my mood and my stack completely.

Just not too long after that hand, blinds went up to 150/300 and i had just about 3800ish left. utg1 opens to 1100, folded to me in the sb w/ 88 and I decided to go with the hand and I jammed. utg1 moaned and tanked and finally called w/ KJo. Dealer gave him a QT9 flop to send me back to the bustoville again.

conclusion: very very soft field, tons of fish who have no clue what they are doing but the variance is just sick to my stomach. Played soooooo effing good but ran like the unluckiest guy in the world.
