Tried a $6 limit tournament this morning. 260 entered, top 30 paid. I was among the table leaders most of the tourney until the deck went cold for me. By the time the blinds were 200/400, I had 7600 chips or so. I got JJ in the SB and called a raise. Flop was 8-9-J. It was bet, I just called planning to raise the turn. Turn is a 3h, I check raised, and there are still 2 opponents. I figure to make a crapload here as long as the river isn't a Q or a 7. The river is Qh. I bet out, am raised, call it and see the heart flush with AJ.
I go down to 3500 chips, get JJ again 2 hands later... raise it, have 1 opponent who called me with A8... I bet and raised it all the way, but 2 8's hit the board and I was out in 94th.
But I think I did well for my first limit tourney. I think I will play that one again sometime. If not for a couple of semi-unlucky turns there, I would've had well over 15k chips heading towards the money, which would've let me play my preferred game.
