Last night 10+1 MTT tourney, top 30 paid, about 38 left and I have a slightly above average chip stack. AQs from early, raise it up 3.5x the BB and the button flat calls, flop Q high, I bet the size of the pot, get raised all in ... no choice but to call, as I'm pot committed with top pair top kicker. Guy flips QQ, lovely flop, the one card left in the deck that loses me all my chips happens to flop. A few hands later I'm eliminated in 31st, bubble boy.
Tonight, AQs again, 85 left, top 30 paid again, have about average stack, I'm in the small blind, the button limps, I raise 4x the BB (about ... don't remember the exact raise), BB folds and the button calls. The flop again comes Q high, I bet the pot, guy pushes all in on me and has me covered, flips QTs, and has flopped 2 pair. Again, I'm out with AQs after being in good position to make a run.
MTT's can be so frustrating, to some degree, it's all about avoiding land mines, which I haven't been able to do lately.
