Post when your winning

Got a couple of days off work for no particular reason other than a earthquake happened. No damage to home or work luckily. Decided to play some MTTs to waste a day. Entered in a 9.5K guarantee KO, a 4K guarantee cashout and a $16 Super turbo. Donk out of the super turbo pretty quick and watch Brad make a pretty deep run in it. Get bored in the 9.5K and get out with 280 people remaining with top 200 paying. So far not so good.

Focus now switches to the 4K cashout where I am sitting mid field most of the time. Pretty dry tournament with a heap of stealing and 3 betting. Most of the tourney played out like 50nl 6max in terms of aggression and stealing. The field thins down close to the bubble where I am sitting 58/58 with top 56 paying. Its getting a bit desperate at this point so I make the following play:



Thankfully hold and get a timely double up.

Pretty much don't see a show down for about 2 hours and I gradually build my stack up to about 6th with 8 remaining using my advanced bet and c-bet strategy. I won't bore you with the complexities.

I think I bust the next two players to get a decent stack of 280K going into the final table in 3rd place. This is where the cashout pool gets paid out at $5/3000 chips so I get a nice $480 present. Basically proceed to play like a spazz and work my way back into 6th for a while before other people get themselves out. End up heads up as chip leader so I take the +ev option of making a deal based of stacks. Take $740 to make $1220 all up. Sure beats cash table grinding.
