    Default Massive chip leader to bust in 7 hands

    If anyone has a minute, just want to see if you all think I did anything wrong here. Went from having over 50% of the chips in play to bust over 7 hands. Got coolered a couple of times, but just seemed really lame to take 4th here.

    Table was pretty weak/tight all around. I had been bullying and had shown down some strong hands as well as some weak hands.

    #1: not happy calling with K2 but I think pot odds kind of force me to
    #2: not thrilled given table tightness but again pot odds were pretty favorable
    #4: read here was SB was folding to flop aggression frequently so decided to check BB then bet

    $1.10 Buy In

    (just trimmed the last 7 hands here, not the full tourney)

    Thanks!

    mtts suck sometimes, especially turbos. this all seemed pretty standard

    1 - shove instead
    2 - fine
    3 - shove instead
    4 - shove over that complete
    5 - don't get coolered next time
    6 - win flip next time

    Agree with juan on all hands.

    A good rule of thumb is you can't have 15 BBs and be a massive chip leader.

    Ha, yeah good point. Thanks for looking.

    Just had myself thinking after this that maybe I should have hunkered down and waited for some short stacks to knock each other out. Of course if I had won some of these hands I wouldn't have thought that.

    I agree with both Fjuanl and Dr. Also,loosing ALL the coinflips IN A ROW while getting bad beats at the same time is common in MTTs so get used to it.....
