12/07/2011 - evening

I played the same €55 (+€5) tournament again yesterday  (€5000 GTD turbo with 5min. rounds).
103 players in total.
Got to the final table second time in a row and finished in 8th place  (payout 141,xx euro).
Could have been a lot more, because I went out with a very strong hand :
I got AK suited, player before me went all-in and I was just before the dealer.  I called with AKs (think I was in 4th or 5th pos at that moment).
Other player had AQ offsuit.  So good call, I'm ahead.
Flop comes Q x x  (not in my colour).
No A of K on turn nor river.  I'm out. Pity.  That double up could have gotten me to 3rd place at least I think, because 2 mins later there were only 3 players left and the guy/girl that knocked me out eventually won the tournament.

Things to remember for myself :  Played another good tournament (do I play better in tournament than in cash games ?) and I play more defensive in tournaments, less hands  (do I play too loose in cash games ?).

Oh, and before the tournament I played a very short session (only about 5 minutes or so) on a €0,50/€1 NL table for €100. I got to €133 with a nice win in one of the very first hands.  Dropped to €128 and decided to take that €28 win in such little time.
