Not far enough

Just busted out of the Friday night $20K on Full Tilt, finishing 42nd. Got it up to 10K -- just about par -- and then barely played a hand for the next hour. Cold-carded, I watched my stack whittled by the blinds to around 2,500, but in the money. That's around the time kaellinn18 -- you know, the guy who took down a Tilt MTT Thursday night -- popped up in chat and nursed me through to the end. Many thanks, sir. (He along with Hoyazo, Jordan, Miami Don and Smokkee also were entered.)

After making the money, I used a couple of suckouts and some blind steals to make it as far as I did. No big hands at all. Ace-10 was it. (Do pocket 6s, which I wimpily folded UTG, count as a decent hand?) I finally busted pushing A-9 from EP (I had around 18K with blinds at 1,200/2,400/???) and got called by pocket kings. I probably should have waited and hoped for a better spot, but the blinds were too tempting to steal. Oh well.

It was the deepest I've gone in the handful of 20K and 12K tournaments I've played on Tilt. I need to win a few more peep tokens and see if I can final table one of these puppies.
