I just finished playing the $250 gtd deep tournament on carbon.
It cost $1.10 to buy in and I late registered for it.
I finished in 67th just outside the money. I think the top 64 spots payed.
When I registered I started with ten big blinds and by the time I got knocked out of the tournament I actually had more than ten big blinds.
I was eliminated from the tournament a few spots out of the money and a couple of minutes after the rebuy period ended.
What happened was I was in the small blind with about 14 or 15 big blinds and two people called. On of the callers was in late position with about 100 big blinds. I had ace queen suited so I raised all in.
The opponent in late position called everyone else folded.
The opponent had ace-five off suited and he caught a five on the river.
I lost the hand.
Preflop I considered raising but then that would put me in the ten big blind range and I would probably have to out maneuver the opponent in late position that had a huge stack postflop.
I wish I would of paid more attention to my position in relation to how many people were left in the tournament and how close I was to the money.
If I would of realized how close I was I would of probably just limped in hoping for a good flop.
I was so close and I had about 14 big blinds.
I think if I would of limped or folded then I would of made the money easily.
