I was deep in 2 tournaments today.

The first one was $4.40 180-man which I finished 5th. I raised with QQ at UTG and the guy at SB shoved. I called his shove only to face his KK and elimination.

The second one was $2.20 with rebuys. There were 500 participants. The blind levels were increasing every 8min so, it was kind of turbo. I once rebought for double and added-on so, I paid a total of $8.80. After the rebuy period ended I had like 30BBs. One thing I want to note is that I almost never had more than 20-30BB starting from 10K stack to like 200K.

I had the chip lead when 16 people or so left. Then I lost with JJ vs AQ, called a shove by SB with KT at BB, against the same opp. Finally, when it was 6 handed the same guy limped in at UTG, I shoved for 15BB or so with AQs and he called for almost all his chips with AJo. He hit the J on the flop and I got eliminated at 12th place. Man, I was almost there...The first prize was around $700. meh....next time.

My AA got cracked like 4-5 times today and I got them in preflop. It has been like 6-7 times my AA got cracked in last two sessions. I guess there is kind of variance going on.
