5th in $100+R Tourney

Meh. 55 runners. I grinded my way to the final table playing straight forward poker. With six left I was looking good, second in chips and hoping to take down the 4k first prize. Unfortunately, the only bad thing about this tournament is the ridiculous blind structure (foreshadowing). It's push/fold poker at the final table, which means my advantage is reduced because there is hardly any postflop skill involved. It's Bingo poker; you just have to get lucky. Anyways, 6 handed everyone folds to the button who ships it in for about 65k, the SB folds and I look down at AKo in the BB and happily snap call as his range can be any pair, any ace or any king. He shows me the bad news as he flips up KK. Shit. The board bricks out an I'm left with 65k. Stupid tournament poker. Two hands later the same player busts some muppet holding Q9dd in a raised pot with pocket aces, dodging the flush draw. Man it must be nice to get that lucky. I ship it in a few hands later with K9hh and the same villain beats me with his 10c6s. Meh. Really thought I was going to come at least 3rd. Oh well. Took home $700 profit. Till next time.
