Hand History... How to Make it into the Money in a Tough Field Without Cards...

Many of you know that the 100 rebuy is one of my favorite tourneys to play. My tables usually have a plethora of good players, but I since I have played so many of these, I usually don't even notice, unless an observer makes a comment about the table or I am very deep into the tourney. In the Stars $100R on Monday I had very tough tables throughout, and did not catch hands but still managed to make the money. I would like to attribute this to leveraging Harrington's open shove strategy in relation to Magriel's M ratio (proportion of blinds and antes to chipstack), coupled with position. This strategy coupled with the fact that my table image is viewed as "solid" allows me to go deep into many tourneys without showing down alot of hands.
The one mistake, I did make, was continuing my aggression, once I had to show down a very mediocre hand. At that point, I should have tightened up since my image was ruined.

At the risk of giving too much insight into my game, I am going to start posting more hand histories. If you are not a hard core poker buff, please do not read. This is a bit long.
