Here's a pic of my 2nd cash, my biggest cash, and my first win. $25. This tournament had under 500 players and the field was pretty weak at the right times. I didn't play as many hands as usual, and it was more of a helmuth style small ball (playing much fewer hands), but it was effective. I picked it up a little bit at times, and that's around when I had my first all in when I hit a set and my opponent pushed all in with a flushdraw. That was the only time I was all in other than the final table with a significant amount of my stack at play.
Once I got to the final table I opted to shove all in with 88 on the BB hoping that people would just fold and if they did fold I'd probably get people folding to my big blind. But I was called by AJ and managed to win. The only other time I was all in was when I was headsup with my opponent drawing dead. he had me covered by 1.5k so the next hand he was done.
