Out of WPT Legends

I'm out in the middle of day 1a's pack in the fifth of today's six levels. There's almost nothing interesting to report. I played super, super, super nitty for the entire tournament. That was my plan going in. I wanted to just take advantages of others mistakes early. I wanted to get to the middle stages of the tournament and use my image to steal blinds and play pots in position with decent sized blinds. It seemed to be working as I got up to 30000 in the second level. This was largely in part to me flopping the nuts with 65o in a limped pot in the cutoff on a board of 7h4s3s. A pretty good player called my pot sized raise and then pot sized bet on the 8h turn with 8 seconds left on the clock after the clock was called on him. I had to sweat a million scary river cards, although it's more likely that he had a set than a flush draw. The river was a 9d, a good but not great card because JTss gets there. He checked and I moved AI and he instantly folded, later telling me he had a set of threes. From there things just didn't work out. I dropped a couple thousand in chips each level over the next three breaks, taking 24000 into level 5. At 3/600 (75) this is where I decided I was going to open it up. I found Kc9d in third position and raised to 1600. A middle aged unknown called in MP. Everyone else folded and we took Ac 7c 4c. I took a terrible line here, and I'm kicking myself for it now. In fact, it was the biggest mistake I made all day. I decided to checkraise, and if I was lucky he'd check and we'd take a free one. I think betting out is a much better play in retrospect. I checked and he bet 2500. I checkraised to 8500, and after about 15 seconds he moved me in for my last 11500. I of course have to call it all off knowing I'm dead to a club. I was expecting to see like AhQc or something with my image, but he showed me the suspect A5dd, and I puked. I missed. I'm happy with how I played. I'll get another shot in Biloxi in about two weeks. Stephanie and I are packing up and heading back to Vegas. I plan on getting all of my stuff out of the house and into a storage facility until I know what my plans are. Our lease ends in like a week. I'm very bummed about poker, but things could be much worse. I have an amazing family and girlfriend, and things will turn around for me in poker. I am going to try to get back to Alabama as soon as possible. I might even make an appearance at the Univ. of Alabama game next week. Thanks for reading.
