Last night I was rolling early in a Bovada $1K guaranteed tourney. In the first hour, I won 2-3 multi-player all-ins and found myself with about 38k chips and in first place at the first break. I eventually worked that up to 43k and was still in the top 10 when the second break rolled around. Shortly before that second break, however, I went card dead. I did not win a hand the last hour and eventually flamed out 85th (top 81 made money). I lost with AQ suited twice to lesser hands (K-10 and K-8 suited). Both times they hit a king. I had several pocket pairs that could never hit, and I wound up chasing a flush once that cost me a significant number of chips. I royally screwed up what turned out to be my final hand with my second aforementioned AQ suited (clubs). The flop came up with 2 clubs, so I had a flush draw going. But instead of being aggressive, I checked it and the turn came up a King. Then I led with a big bet only to be countered with an all-in shove. At that point, I should have just folded, but I wasn't thinking clearly and called. No club came and I went out.
I didn't really change how I played in the third hour. I just went card dead and then on the few hands I did have cards, was always outdrawn.
