Well, it was so late (around 4am) that I just had to finish the tournament sooner rather than later, so sitting with in about third place (out of 5) and a good stack, I saw myself with A8 offsuit. Normally, I would muck the hand, but I was just looking for an excuse to finish, so I went all-in. I hit the 8, but lost to an overpair, and my tournament was over. I finished in fifth place.
Frankly, I feel confident that I could have fought for first place, but it was not to be with the hour of the night. As it is, my goal was to finish in the top 8, and I achieved that, so I feel really good.
My performances continue to improve. My freeroll finishes are now consistently in the top 125, and with a bit more focus and patience I can see myself consistently finishing in the money.
