My first MTT

I signed up and played a freeroll MTT last night.  It was 10 FPP for a buy in with a $500 prize pool.  The action was extreamly fast all the way up to the bubble, being a Turbo MTT I figured the action would go that way but it was even more so than I figured.  I picked my spots and just waited for good cards to come.  I maintained my self far above the average chip stack most of the way through.  The spots that I picked to double up worked out very well, I even tripled up at one point.  However, I was a few spots off he bubble an caught KK.  Here's the history for that hand:



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tournament, 500/1000 Blinds 100 Ante (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (BB) (t14900)
UTG (t13220)
UTG+1 (t16044)
MP1 (t20860)
MP2 (t7045)
CO (t2465)
Button (t34260)

Hero's M: 6.77

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, K
UTG+1 calls t1000, 4 folds, Hero bets t3000, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls t2000

Flop: (t7700) A, J, 4 (2 players)
Hero bets t11800 (All-In), UTG+1 calls t11800

Turn: (t31300) 7 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t31300) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: t31300

I don't know why I played that as bad as I did, I just "knew" he didn't have an ace.  That definitly came back to bit me in the ass, but I'll do better next time.  


I don't think I'll be able to make my goal of 600 FPP's, that's why I used up some of them on this MTT.   If I  can't make the FPP's up I figure I can get my bankroll up a bit more and hopefully hit my $100 mark.  I'll try another one of these tonight and hopefully I'll be a bit less unlucky, but we shall see.
