Hey Sassy,
I sweated the game early on, in fact until it was three handed, and I saw you had like atleast a 3 to 1 chip lead vs to opponents, I didn't see what happened after that, and I know that the high blind levels have a significant effect on game play, however, I saw one particularly loose call in a 3-way pot with 75s or so that actually worked out very well. And, I do not mean to make any inferences that may not be true, so take the following with a grain of salt, I assume that perhaps you may have been involved with a less-than-marginal hand that may have shifted the chip lead to another opponent? Again, I apologize if this is not the case, and thus take this reply as a future reference ins mid tournament play, however, if this is the faction that costed you a first place finish, may I add that in such a position for securing a first place finish, that you continue forth with aggression, however, that you do not commit over 1/3 of your stack size with less than marignal holdings, unless the circumstances are overly lucrative. Hope this helps! -HT
