As pinotte stated I did end up going out in 7th after dominating this tonurmanet from the first hour on. got the lead early on after the first break and really never relinquished it until the final table. 4 and half hours of almost perfect poker ruined by taking unnecessary chances late and getting unlucky.
2 hands that doomed me on the final table :
#1. I get AJ os in 2nd chip position and guy pushes. Knew i was ahead of the Brazilian Donkey and I was right he had KQ he hits 3 kings on river. Lose about half my stack.
#2. Again With A10 I go all in against KJ os and they hit turn jack and game over.
my bad as I wasn't pushing very much early on and waiting for hands to develop more until final table hit and that was my undoing. when I play small ball i seem to control the outcome much better and not leaving it up to the gods is probably always the better choice.
Hope I can learn from this outcome even though it wasn't the one i had been working so hard for.
Not a bad return on my investment for this one as I spent only .55 cents and earned 29.10$ this and a 2nd place in 3.50$ 18 man turbo has me up more than 40$ on stars.

Yeah, especially when you know you can outplay and destroy your opponents post-flop.

Nice result TheIrish. It's a real shame that you couldn't hang on in there and use your usual skill and judgement to continue dominating right to the end and pick up a nice pot of cash for such a little amount of buy in. Keep the good play going and good luck for your next tournament. Build on your success.

Although its not the first place, t is a very good finish if you think that you were playing against more than 3k players. That payment was good and if you say you have learned something out of this tournament, then it is even better. Congratulations.
< ...check THIS out Mr. Irish....
