I'll post up a few hands from the WSOP $2.5k event. No flow in this tournament for me. Here's one spot.

Not a ton of interesting hands. I had some  really clear/easy double  barrel w/ air spots. Nothing ubber  interesting. I had one spot where I  folded QQ pre. But this is an  example of why I need to play more live  tourneys.

I open Tc9d  from the HJ. Folds to the BB who calls. We've been in a lot  of pots  together at this point. This guy, the chip leader and myself  were the  most active at the table.

This hand happened after the 2nd break.

Flop comes: 9h 6h 3s. He checks, I check.
Wait  what? :)  I had a really good read on him. He was one of the better  players at  the table, but I had confidence he'd making too many mistakes  if I  checked top pair here even though my hand is vulnerable.

Turn: Ks. He bets a little over half, and I call.

River:  Jc. Het bets a little over 2/3rds pot. I call. He says, " you  got it." I  show and he says, "you were supposed to fold that hand." And  I say, "I  know, I was hoping that's what you were thinking."

Any ways,  that's a pretty good example of bad HS tourney play where the  mentality  becomes, "I can't win here, only thing I can do is bet and  pray." Which I  see a lot. I mean in a cash game against a decent  player, I fold that  river.

Why? Because wtf hand am I checking on that flop, calling that turn, and  then folding to a river bet? There shouldn't be any. Mayyyybe 6x, but I  think I bet that too often on the flop. And if I call that turn w/ 6x,  I'm still likely calling that river.
