Lol donkaments

Finally got me ITM in a $10 MTT. After a few earlier tournaments where I busted out quickly (usually I got bored and started to steal blinds with 72o, hit the K75 flop and lost against an obvious AK). I played more patiently today; mixed in a few cash tables and played a lot better. I got to the final table (186 players, 10 placed paid) where everybody suddenly started to play extremely tight. I started the final table with 35k chips, blinds 600/1200/125. I got some excellent help on msn for the final, brutal phase. A few players busted out quite soon and then there were 5 players remaining, stack sizes:

Hero 35k
5408 33k
kraf 70k
flush 15k
scpcp 31k

43 hands of stealing, stealing and stealing later:

Hero 90k
5408 32k
kraf 42k
flush 10k
scpcp 10k

It got folded around to the BB so much I started to minraise any two on certain positions. It was my msn buddy who noticed that it was the 2nd time in a row it was folded to the BB in a certain position. I might need something to keep record of that stuff; maybe I should make some notes when I reach final table and keep stats of how often people minraise/raise/allin and how they respond to it.

A few players busted and I entered the HU session with 135k versus 43k and it took us 9 hands to finish it, when my K9 > his AQ. I now got a solid 213% ROI on MTTs but I doubt that's sustainable :).
