I'm playing in the Mystery Bounty $25,000 gtd tournament now.
It has been running 1 hour 26 minutes with late reg open another 1 hour 53 minutes.
It is a serious thread, I am looking to get staked.
Just to put this into perspective in the tournament I'm currently playing in (which has been running for 1 hour 14 minutes now) at the time I folded the two AQos everyone was going all in with any two cards (they've calmed down a bit now) - so if I had an extra 4 buy-ins lined up, I could have gone all in on both AQo and likely gotten called by 2 or 3 people with any two cards.
I just made my first raise in 35 hands (I had kqs from the button) and someone reraised ai. Their vpip is 50, they played the last 19 out of 39 hands. KQs is fine against their range.
But I folded to their ai despite putting 3 bb in, because I don't need this kind of variance at this stage of the tournament.
Currently I am down to 45 bb, in position 436 of 611. I haven't been dealt any premium hands so far. I'm just observing the rest of the table closely to see how they are playing, so I'll get paid off when I have a premium hand or good spot.
(The KQs actually was a pretty good spot, the person who came over the top all in probably had an ace:
Since people are playing so many hands, there is a card removal effect: if everyone folds to button but they would have played literally any ace, then that means you know 14 non-ace cards have been removed, and that means the chances sb and bb have an ace go up. My KQs is still likely a favorite but not by as much as usual, so I didn't call the all-in.)
Currently it has been running for 1 hour 18 minutes, and I am in position 438 of 613 with 44.8 bb. Actually blinds just went up, down to 35.7 bb as blinds went up:

I will have to start making some moves soon before blinds go up by much more, though 35.7 bb is still pretty safe. People are behaving a bit more mellower (but still playing too many hands) and I'm watching the table closely.
Just got KK
I was utg+1, everyone folded after I raised 3 bb. Now up to 38 bb. (They didn't fold due to my ridiculously low vpip of 10, which they don't see because they're not using HUD's, but because they didn't have any hands they liked.)
I'm really glad they folded as this is a high-variance spot if they had called or gone all-in as they're frequently doing.
This table is playing a lot of hands, I just need to wait until I have a good one.
At 36.3 bb now, position 434 of 615.
