I dunno how anyone can play tournaments
 

about 40 spots off the bubble obviously.... this is after I lose to AA w JJ on a KJx flop (I flatted pre out of the SB) I c/r small to induce, he obliges and shoves, i snap... turn A............ like holy fuck man... then we have a standard cointoss below (QQ vs 99) which I can't win after 4 betting 99% of his stack against my SB 3 bet (which is obviously setup by flatting JJ earlier)

I like the comment Phil Laak made on PAD that he views tournaments as " +EV lotteries". ;)
