couple of Sunday tournaments

I played in the Bodog 100k & Paradise $30 rebuy.
In the Bodog 100k I got sick cards early, but no action. Got down to around 250 players (from 880) & lost back to back coinflips to bust. I'm on an amazing streak of losing coinflips over the last month or so. I swear I'm 20% to win a flip. The funny thing is that it seems like even when I win a flip, I have to hit a set cuz the overcard still shows up.
In the Paradise 30R I made it to the first payout, which wasn't enough to cover my rebuys. -$30. . . yay. The bright spot of the tourney was that I actually won a flip when my JJ held against AKo.
I tried a squeeze play for the first time. CO opened for 600 (100/200 blinds) & loose button called. I repop it to 2000 w/ T9o from the SB. Of course the BB calls, CO folds & button calls. Great. . . that worked well. Flop misses me & I check/fold. Turns out the BB had AK & the button had the all powerful 45s which apparently wins lots of chips when you can make straights with it, which he did, much to the BB's displeasure.
Hopefully I can play a few more tourneys before I leave on Friday.
