Local Tourney

20 GBP re-buy tourney attracted 11 players and a 420 GBP purse. Winner took 250, I placed second at 120, and third at 50. Was very patient in this extremely chaotic tourney with a lot of bull$shit play. Never found a hand better than AJ, but still managed to wait it out (3 1/2 hrs). Starting stacks were 2,000 with 25/50, 50/100, 100/200, 300/600, 400/800, and the final 1k/2k blinds very manageable.

Got lucky with A9 when CC went all-in with 2500 after my 1200 raise and a caller behind. I called and checked it down to take a 3-way pot with A-high.

Other than that, it was pretty unmemorable. Final hand I was in the big blind and check a limp with 96 off. Flop was QJT. 1/2 pot bet looked weak, so I pushed for 3x the pot and got called by Q3. I failed to hit the open ender and was out. The guy had 3x my stack, so it was as good as ever to push there. Pretty boring night.
