Made a return to FTP today, registering for a $1 45-man and I got 3rd, good for $7.
I was chip leader for the first half of the tournament, thanks in big part to me gambling on a flush draw and tripling up.
After that, the following hand came up:

I called with third pair on the flop because I just had the feeling the board completely missed him. He raised preflop OOP which showed a lot of strenght.
However, he paused on the flop and bet only half the pot, so that looked like a continuation bet to me and I made the call. The turn obviously didn't help him at all and I picked up a flush draw to boot with my minuscule pair. He shoved and I called, my read was good as he showed AK.
Would I have called if I didn't get that flush draw? I don't know, because it gave me a blanket just in case my read was wrong, but I didn't need it.
The next hand is my biggest:

I value bet all the way to the river. The turn was magical to me and insured me a huge pot three-handed.
It was also the first hand back from the first break, good times. He showed 77 to my full house.
This hand was a big blunder on my part. I had top pair and feared I was outkicked.
Because of that I didn't bet the turn and he caught me on the damn river. I'm so stupid.

Runner-runner bad beats are NEVER fun!:

The 4-handed and 3-handed parts of the game were complete GRINDS.
Chip leads kept moving around, short stacks kept getting their miracle cards to stay alive (case in point: 53o vs Q5o flop 53x) and I was getting frustrated.
3-handed, the blinds reached 3000-6000 which happens very rarely, given there are only 67500 chips in play! That means the three of us had an M of 3 only!
Finally I shoved A9 vs AQ and (surprise, surprise!) failed to catch my card. Meh, always happens for the others, never to oneself.
Winning is good, but who am i kidding I'm still tilting from yesterday XD.
