Don't have a position for you, so suffice to say I didn't come close to winning. Tournament had 120+ people, so top 12 get seats to an Act 3 ($1,100 buy-in) satellite.
Starting stacks were 5000, starting blinds 25/50. I took down a decent pot early on with 2-pair and played tight the rest of the way, raising very sparingly. The rest of the table respected my few raises, since most of my pots were won pre-flop with everyone folding to my raises.
I chipped up to about 6500 chips when level 5 (100/200/25) started. I'm in the cutoff and am dealt AhAs (ahhh, love it.) UTG+1 raises to 1000, an unusual amount. Folds to me, I consider what to do: I have the remaining players, including the over-raiser, covered. I have the best hand, but something else I'm considering is that the raiser lost the previous hand to pocket Aces. He might still be feeling that loss, so I decide to shove all-in. Everyone else folds, and after a minute of thinking, he says "hopefully I don't run into Aces again" and calls with A9 of clubs. "Sorry" is the only word out of my mouth when I flip my hand. FTP's odds calculator says I'm a 88-12 favorite to win the hand.
2 Clubs on the flop and another on the turn cracks the Aces. The guy to my right assures me that his call was ridiculous and that he deserves to be out for making it. I'm being nice about it ("Hey, it happens") but I knew it was a donkey call that got lucky.
4 hands later (after the blinds go up to 200/400/50), I have 2500 chips left and get poket jacks UTG. I make the obvious all-in move, one player calls with AT, Ace on the turn, and I'm done.
Now, not only is this a bad beat post, this is a BAD CASINO post. After breaking for lunch, my friends and I come back to see every table in the poker room filled to capacity, and the lists for 2/4 Limit, 1/2 NL and 2/5 NL each exceeding 100 people. Foxwoods is apparently a popular place on a holiday weekend. After 90 minutes or so, we're at around 30, but we notice the number sometimes going UP instead of DOWN. I'm not exactly sure of what shenanigans were going on, but we were having NONE of it. We bailed, having only played part of the time we wanted. I played the tourney, one friend played 2/4 Limit while I did the tourney (he ended up $73) and another friend got there later (just before lunch) and played Let it Ride, hitting some big hand to get a bunch of money.
Moral of the Story: Foxwoods sucks. I don't plan on going back there for a while because of this sour experience. Reminder: It wasn't the two suckouts that made this day sour, it was the poor management and excessive lists that did it.

FTP - Daily Double B - 2/16/2007
431/889
I'm actually more proud of my play in this tourney as opposed to yesterday's. Here are the key hands.
This first one is in the first level. I'm in the BB, and it gets folded to the SB who makes a standard raise. I like this hand only because I put the SB on a steal and I called it down to the river to see I was right. This is the first hand I played (evident from my untouched starting stack of T2000.)

Didn't play that well at all. After this and the next hand (where I'm SB), I'm down to 975, almost down to 10 BB's, which is the "life support" threshold.

At this point, I double up, but for whatever reason, Hand History doesn't have it. It may have something to do with being moved to a new table right after the hand. Anyways...

tlw00 calls 200 (... huh? Didn't expect this.)
*** TURN *** [3c 8s 3s] [Jc]
crazdgamer checks (the Jack takes away my top pair. If he limped with 9's or 10's, he's ahead. If he limped with AJ, JT, he's ahead. 8's and 3's isn't looking good. Time to bail.)

Didn't play that well at all. After this and the next hand (where I'm SB), I'm down to 975, almost down to 10 BB's, which is the "life support" threshold.
------------------------
At this point, I double up, but for whatever reason, Hand History doesn't have it. It may have something to do with being moved to a new table right after the hand. Anyways...

pocket dooshes raises to 300 (UTG+1 raises. What do I make of this? I have no idea how to interpret this raise... has he been stealing since before I got to the table? In retrospect, I should've folded until I knew more, but...)

crazdgamer folds (being down to 2000 chips with the blinds at 50/100, I had to conserve chips. Ace or King beats me. While I know we both checked to the river, I was still reeling from the AA over QQ hand. In hindsight, I tightened up a little too much after that.)

Just busted out of this.
After the first break, I had 3600 chips, which is about the average stack.

So yeah, went from average stack to IGH. Such is the pitfall of No-Limit Hold'em. I'm such a fucking donk.
Mistake one: not recognizing the 2 spades on the flop.
Mistake two: not pushing with trips. If I was going to bet any significant amount, I'd have to go all in because not going all in would leave me pot committed anyway.
Mistake three: not recognizing the third spade on the river. I was all excited about turning trips that I didn't see what other hands could develop.
I suck at this game. Which means, of course, I should invest more money by going to Foxwoods this weekend and attempting the FPC Super Satellite.
