Nobody here reached out to me privately except Donny from Twitter who asked how I busted my second entry. I was completely unaware this thread was still active until a friend notified me today.
I'm a bit confused. Were people expecting hand histories? I never ask anyone for HH advice (personal preference), and I don't wanna give away my thought process on a public forum. So at that point if i post hands, then it's a hand in a bubble with mediocre context and often unverifiable.
When I'm playing a big live tournament, I am completely in-the-zone focused. I don't like talking to people on breaks, texting anyone on my phone, listening to podcasts, or anything. I have light background music only, and then on breaks I go for a 10 minute walk. I'm at my best when I'm single-minded. If you look at my main event tweets etc, I only tweet at the end of the day when I bag and I don't have to worry about losing my focus. And even then, it is just chip count.
The tournament had 40 minute levels and I re-entered at 1600bb with a 100k starting stack. If i felt it was a bad spot I wouldn't have re-entered. Thought all this would go without saying.
Here's what I told Donny:

I rarely sell action and haven't in a while. Again, didn't know this thread was still active. I apologize if the transparency wasn't up to par. However, please note I did everything I could to play my best. I've seen people at the tables before, who I knew had sold big pieces, be constantly on their phone or otherwise unfocused. Any time I'm playing a big live tournament I'm taking it very seriously, especially when I have investors. So again, sorry for the lack of detail, but at the end of the day you're paying for my ability and decision-making, and rest assured the quality was there.
