Harrah's 1am

Harrah's 1 AM $25 50bb $2500 chips

I enjoy playing this tourney, really get to work on the shove fold aspect of the game.  I definitely need to develop it.  My only problem with this tourney is the rake is so high.  I believe $9 is raked for every entry.  Pretty hefty.  But still fun and super cheap!
One my first hand i played.  Actually, first hand i came as the cards were in the air, and i yell out "I call!!" and the dealer mucked my hands because i wasn't there by the time he finished dealing my cards. i was on the button someone had made a raise to 200.  It was an asian lady actually. mid 30s probably. I didn't get to play. flop was KQx the guy next to her actually ended up wining the hand.  did not show.
i wake up with KK. and old lady limps i make it 525 when it's 20/50 and everyone folded. wtf next hand i get AQ and make it 325 i get 4 callers flop comes KQx two clubs. bet is 400, i call. turn is a x 400, i call. river is Jc he bets 2000, and i fold. says he had KJ.
Later have AK in a 4 way pot KQT board i bet get called and then raised.  i fold call turns an A they get it al in first hand had QJd second hand who raised the flop had J9o.
I busted with A3 in a 3 way pot. board came Khigh and the Might Casey Struck Out.

I played extremely loose.  Probably could've let the AQ go, but I felt like a donk might bet the Q too. the turn bet should have definitely told me "K".  but i didn't really feel as if he defintely had it, and i didn't mind sacrificing some of my stack to find out.  i left myself with 11bb. just couldn't get the extra opportunity. for future reference, i should try to keep as many chips as possible in this type of even. with 20bigs i don't need to be double floating some old man to hopefully check down a river.  played that sloppy. fold.
