Yes, it is sad but true. After all the pep talks I gave myself and after the "play tight" pep talk from Dr. Phil right before the tournament started, I did indeed go out on the very first hand of the first Friday tournament in Pendleton.
I am not going to go into details no matter how much people beg. I will say that I had top two pair and got beat by a set. I played terribly and I know it. It's almost as if I knew I was playing badly while it was happening, but I couldn't stop myself. There were so many things that beat me but I had visions of 20,000+ chips in my brain. STUPID STUPID STUPID.
I will tell you that this will never happen again. I got QQ on the first hand of the Sunday deep stack at the Moose and folded it when 3 hearts hit the board (not having the queen of hearts). I am forever hereforth the tightest player who ever lived. Count on it.

I feel your pain. I was curious as to what did you in. We have all been the first out of a tournament or two, or three. Will probably do it again soon myself. I try to remind myself that it is better to play short stacked than lose your chair.
