*Really* good, strong, play - and an excellent report.
- chips chips and chips. If you can get yourself into a dominant position over your table (forget how the other tables are shaping), you can run over shorter stacks *ESPECIALLY* close to the button when everyone is desperately holding on for the money
- The hand you busted out on was the right move at the wrong time. It was a somewhat loose call by A7, but he probably read you for "any Ace" (you didn't have enough left for a full round so you were pretty much forced to play before the blinds came around), so A7 puts him in relatively good shape.
One other thing to consider... you played a really strong, tight game. Once you get to later levels, you can capitalise off your tight image with a few more plays at the pot, rather than getting chipped away down to a point where you are going to be read for "any ace". Sometimes that means you will bust out further away from the money, more often (especially against better players!) you'll get enough chips to push yourself well past the bubble.
Anyway, keep improving your play at this rate, and we'll be seeing you on TV soon :) (just don't beat me there!)
