2,500 GTD - Black Chip Poker

In the late stages of this tourney, I was down to 25,000 in chips.

All in shoves with A-Q and A-A 3x, I was back in contention with 550,074 chips.

antes - 2,500 Blinds: 10,000 / 20,000

In the small blind, I'm dealt A-A for the fourth time, and had a feeling that they might not hold up this time, so I decided to slow play them....

Hero: Ah-Ac
UTG +1 - raises to 40,000
MP - calls
BTN - calls
Hero: I re- raise to 70,000

The Flop: 9c-Qs-5c

Hero: I bet 79,375
UTG + 1 - re-raises to 158,750
BTN - calls
Hero: calls

The Turn: 7c

UTG +1 - raises all in for 544,500

I know I'm probably behind at this point with 331, 314 behind....if not for the ace of clubs, I probably would have folded.

I decided to call - all in hoping to hit a club on the river...

The River: Jd

UTG + 1 - shows Kc - 10c

Hero: 47th out of 816 - If I hit the nut flush on the river, I would have been in the top five of chip leaders.

*This tournament started at 7pm EST and this hand took place at 1:30 am EST...fatigue was definitely a factor at this point... still no excuse for a poorly played hand.

1) I should have raised more pre-flop
2) I should have found a fold on the turn with a flush draw probability for UTG +1
3) I should have trusted my instincts that  being dealt A-A  for the fourth time may not hold up this time

* Finishing in the money after being down to 25,000 was a consolation prize, but something needs to done about the number of levels late registration is allowed....6 hours of play to win  $9.37   is rough...which was another factor in making the call.. if you don't chip up in these tournaments and finish in the top 3 the pay out doesn't justify the time invested.
