Thank you for participating.
Solid play, aggressive with the big stack, picking my battles with the small stack -- I think that's my highest money win in a tourney ever. At one point early in the tournament, I'm dealt QQ under the gun, two middle position players and the button go all in. I consider going all in; I'm getting 4-to-1 on my money, because I've got the biggest stack, but if I lose, I'll be crippled. With three other players in... I fold. The players show 99, JJ, and AA. There's a J on the flop, and no aces or nines show (and no queens, if you're wondering), and I pat myself on the back for a good fold.

Not so much. I played $3/$6 for four hours at Palace last night, and ended up down $35. I think I was +$60 at one point early, and was all in once during hour 3, but scratched my way back up until I was nearly falling asleep at the table.
