There's little skill in poker tournaments unfortunately
Although they are FUN to play, and free!
Had over 12,000 chips, had about 2,000 invested in a flop that was 2-8-10, two hearts on the board. I bet and am reraised by a LAG player, he goes all in for 3000 more, I make the call with J10 and has a pair of 2's with a flushdraw, of course he hits.
That took me to around 6000. From there, I blew up in a hand where the same player raised my blind again, I reraised for 1500, he reraised again, I shoved and he called with AK to my A10. Again, I was just not respecting his style of play, unfortunately he happened to have a hand there, but given how he'd open with hands like Ace Deuce I did not think I would be behind, even with a mediocre hand like A10.
So, from 12,000 chips I make one mistake after losing a hand that I was ahead in and had made the right call in, and it cost me the tournament.
