Came 6th for $600. I called my stack off with KK AIPF and the guy who was tilted shoved with 66 and caught a 6 on the river. I don't even feel that happy, more annoyed

One other thought here is knowing that the tourney is top loaded making your bets looser - if you get 10 10 you gotta plaem like QQ - strong because the upside is so great - top 4 make so much more than 6-20...thats the toughest thing watching blinds go up - feeling for a weak table and ramming 99 up their back like AA to steal/win a few blinds...the later it gets the more willing you need to be to gamble which is counter intuitive to your stack size - blinds going up etc...

Really? What about ICM considerations? Do we just toss that out the window?
