I lost with 173 players left.

I had 11K chips..down from 18K when I lost on a full house

this time a guy went all in with 40K chips..I had pocket aces...

so I called thinking i would double up...and be set to make the money.

well...he had pocket jacks and then got a jack on the flop..thats all she wrote.

so I finished 173 out of 1000

one thing...those tournaments are to long....good lord...I woulld of been there for 10 hours to finish that

If you want a tournament with a structure where you can get good practice playing all stages of MTTs, without having to play for hours and hours, and actually have a chance to win, try the $4 180s. They go off about every 10 minutes and first place pays $216. I'm a beginner, and dump a lot of money into huge MTTs because I love tournament poker (often a waste of money since the fields are so huge) but have kept my small bankroll afloat by winning a couple of these.
