After the rebuy period I had about 10K in chips, including an addon. This was a bit above average. Second hour I am on a table with mainly smaller stacks who play tight, and I get to steal a few pots. I'm up to 20K and get moved to the other table. Here are 5 players with a bigger stack than me and a few shortstacks.
I play very tight for about 20 mins, getting no hands, but I'm not worried since I should be able to make the money if I can pick up one or two rounds of blinds. The player to my left has almost 10K left, and when I'm in the SB I find A9TJ suited to the ace. Blinds are 400-800. It is folded to me, and since I haven't played a hand in 3 orbits I raise the pot. To my dismay the SB calls and the flop is 479 rainbow. It is very hard to imagine this flop hit him, so I bet 3K in the 4800 pot. BB moves in and I fold.
Again no hands for a few orbits. There are 13 players left now. Play is tight now. Only the big stacks are bullying and everyone else hopes to make the money.
In the SB I get AAT9 once suited. I have 11K left, with which I might be able to fold into the money if others bust themselves (which is not unimaginable).
The big stack in MP (35K) raises the pot and it is folded to me. What do you do? I moved in, got called and got busted.
