3 ITM Finishes
I played in 4 tournaments last night and finished in the money in three of them. I had two third place finishes, one second and one fifth. I am still playing the Kill Phil Rookie strategy. I have done some more reading about the basic strategy and will probably start using that in my next tournament.
In the first tournament, I stole a few blinds during the early rounds. Then I was dealt kings on the button during the third level and made a 300 chip raise and I was all set to move in on the flop if someone called. The chip leader in the SB and the cutoff both called my raise. The flop was 2h 4s 5h. The chip leader and the CO both pushed. I folded my kings and found out the CO had JJ and chip leader had 44.

Several hands later I pushed my remaining 630 chip in with KTo and was called by the chip leader with A8s and doubled up after flopping two pair. I stole the blinds a couple of times when we got down to 3-handed and managed to work my up to second place. Then I pushed with K8o and chip chip leader called with 22 and flopped a 2, to bust me.
During the second tournament I busted out in 5th after raising to 120 with a pair of kings under the gun. The second chip leader called and the the chip leader pushed all-in. I quickly pushed in my remaining 910 chips and the second chip leader pushed in also. The chip leader hand AQo and the other one had ATo. The flop came down A25 and then the final ace came on the turn. It was pretty funny.

On the next hand I pushed with 75o and was called by KTs and dropped down to second when a king flopped. I then dropped to third after pushing with 98s and was called by A2s.
I was the short stack with four players left when I pushed with a pair of eights vs. AKo. The AK never improved and I picked up another 8 on the turn.
I was eliminated in third a few hands later when I pushed with QQ and was called by the chip leader with A9s and an ace came on the river.
