Poker - Session 1

I played a $130 tournament today at Horseshoe Hammond, 28 entrants and I was knocked out seventh. 

An hour before the tournament started I sat down in a $1/$2 NL game, losing $23. 

I lasted to the first break of the tournament and when I returned found pocket tens and raised from early position, getting no action. 

I had a stack size of 10,000 when picking up AK in the big blind, middle position min raised to 400 and I raised all in and won the pot uncontested. 

I was down to 7000 chips in the big blind and when it folded to the small blind she raised to 1200 and I looked down at QJ and moved all in. The woman hesitated for thirty seconds and then called with A10, a J hit the flop and I doubled up.

I lasted to the second break with 20,000 chips and within an hour I was at the final table. I was knocked out when my pocket tens lost to pocket queens.
