Termintator tournament at Cosmopol
Tried to analyze my tournament play after last night and lately in general and change a few things. Smaller tournaments like these are perfect for experimenting. Everything worked according to plan at first and I got away with all my moves and built up my stack a bit. I stayed above average for a long time. 101 players came t play and fight for the 9 prizes, but only top 3 were really interesting. Somewhere in the mid-tournament stage with a little less than 50 players left I ran out of steam and started to wait for hand instead of using position and situations to steal pots. I finally found a good spot after two limpers and a push (11k) from the button who very likely realized that this was the perfect spot to steal. I re-pushed (17k) from the small blinds with my only pair for the day, 66 (blinds 600-1200). I read the situation right, but didn’t expect the first limper to call with 88. The button shows A9. The flop is T9542and I bust in about 30th, realizing that I could have done better by beeing a little more active in the mid-stage of the event. Next time…
