The $5.50 tournament

I had the day off today, so I played the $5.50 tournament for the donation. Unfortunately, I did not get in the money this time.

Out of a field of 5004 players, the top 720 players are in the money. I was busted out in 1215th place.

The hand that busted me was my QQ versus an AK holding.

This player was getting quite aggressive, and I'd seen him try to bully a number of pots prior. His aggression factor is 3.5 and his 3bet percentage is just over 10%. Here I thought he was simply bullying the initial raiser and I was going to squeeze.
