2K NL event

This is really the only event that I have gone very far in so far, so that is the reason I haven't posted about any of the tournaments really. There really just wouldn't be anything very interesting to read about. This tournament looked like it was going to start off the same way after the first 15 minutes. I bluffed off 1/2 my chips in a fairly large pot due to a bad read and found myself down to about 1k. Our table then broke since it was one of the lowest numbered tables and I got moved to a exceptionally soft table. I proceeded to run over this table with my very small stack and worked it up from 900 chips to almost 7,000 without even showing a hand. I played really exceptionally during the second thru fourth hours and the only hiccup I had came right after the 2nd break. The hand went as follows:

A small stack under the gun raised all in for 1,100 chips, I squeeze AK offsuit in 2nd position and call the all-in. I medium stack in middle position who was a fairly tight player re-raised all-in for 1,800 more. I really felt bad about my hand at that point but had to make the call. The UTG player had 66 and the middle position player rolled over AA. Ouch. So that knocked me down to about 4,500. Scott Fischman then got moved to my table and was seated two seats to my right. This made me very happy because I know how he likes to play fairly well and felt that I could exploit him with my position. I stole some hands and re-raised him a couple times building my stack up to 11,000 without still showing another hand. Our table broke after that and I was moved a couple different times, eventually to a very wild, loose table that had a lot of chips. The blinds were 300-600 with a 75 chip ante so it was costing me about 2,000 chips every round. I didn't have any steal opportunities for about two orbits and was blinding down to about 7,000 chips when I decided to push with 55 UTG to try and steal the blinds. It probably wasn't a really good spot and looking back I think I would lay it down next time. I got called by a very loose and novice player who had KK and that was it for me. I feel really good about the way I played am much happier now than I was after the first four bust outs.

I'm not sure if I am playing any events this week before flying back to Kansas for one of my best friends weddings. I'll check the schedule and decide in the next couple of days.
