Those dang FPP tourneys
Lookie lookie...
I pretty much play like 3 of these little FPP tourneys a day, not paying much attention to them when I play. This one I somehow won... making it the largest tournament that I've won with 397 entrants. Not that it means that much since it was just an FPP satelite to a larger tournament, but I was still pretty excited. I've played in my fair share of MTT's, with random success. I don't have enough experience in large MTT's to not get excited when I approach the final table. Every time I get even within the top 30 I get all fidgedy and invision myself winning the whole thing, usually busting out 2 hands later. But this tournament wouldn't end. I didn't bust out, I just kept chugging along, watching random people drop out one by one.
I owe my win to folding a big hand early on, I will post it now. I am glad I have the discipline and trust in my instincts to fold hands like these now.

(quick intervention, I make this move occassionally when I see a small bet followed by a few calls, even though it is kind of transparent as most people would most likely put me on a weak hand here, it has had its success in the past. I would do this with 2 pair/set here too, and for all I know I have 12 outs with the gutshot and flush draws.)

(THREE (!!!) calls? What the hell? Either I'm playing against the most passive lambs on the planet or there is more than one draw out there)

LH367 collected 31226 from pot
I knew I was beat when that flush card came, but that is pretty incredible. 11/13 hearts were in play this hand.
