Re: My first PS tournament. (longish report)

Did you go all-in with good (not great) hands like 10 times before the
final table? Usually everyone folded, but all it takes is a great hand
to call and you're out. High risk - low reward. It worked for awhile,
but you got about as far as you could with that strategy.

And don't go for a flush or straight draw on a paird board.
