Best Big Tourney finish

[sjay2k]

Thanks... I've been going through my pay tourney history and noticed that my most common way of losing is:

1. Bluffing a pot on the flop and turn, losing about half my stack
2. Going all-in on AJ or 77 and getting snapped in a race

Does anyone else do this? Number 1 leads to number 2. I think I've got to cut my losses if my bluff is called on the flop (unless the player is noticably weak).

Overall, I'm happy with my play. I haven't deposited any money, and I've been able to build a bankroll of $350 ($480 at one point until my drunk friend entered me in a $100+9 SNG)
