Trials and Tribulations of an Internet Grinder

Well, I played in the Party Super Thursday last night. This tourney icarries $150+$12 entry fee and usually has around 1,000 people, making for a good prizepool. Last night first prize was $30,000, and there were 971 entrants. I got no cards for the first two hours but made a VERY nice play at a pot at the start of the 3rd hour. Iw as basically representing a flush on the river putting all my chips in with J high. My opponent folded and very well could have been beat after seeing some of the hands played out last ngiht. :) I had about 4,000 chips and blinds were 100/200. A couple orbits later I picked up KK got it all in against AQ for a 6,200 pot. The flop was terrible as it brought an A, the turn just rubbed it in, bringing a Q, but the magical river brought the beatiful K. (last one in the deck as somebody att the table said they folded a K.) So I am now looking to cruise into the money, but alas I get involved in a couple blind stealiong debacles and am down to 4,000 with 130 left int he tourney and the top 100 spots paying I still had a good chance to sneak into the money. down to 120 players, blinds at 400/800 it gets folded to me on the button I have AT, both blinds have me barely covered. I decide to minraise thinking i'll get away if the push and that it looks scarier because they have to assume im calling a push. My plan is busted when the BB flat calls. Flop brings 3 5 5 and i think im ahead, BB checks I push he calls and shows J5., and im done. Finsihed 119th out of 971. Oh well back to the SnG grind.
