Tonight, I am going to type up my post while I am playing. In the past when I have done this, I seem to have had better results. I think that it helps keep me focused on my game because I am writing about it while I am playing. Also, it helps keep me from getting bored and playing things I shouldn't.
Lets see how this goes!! I am waiting for a 45 player SNG to start.
Shuffle up and deal!!
The first hand I get involved in, I have Q3 offsuit in the BB. there were a couple of limpers and the button min raised. The flop was 245, I flopped open ended. there was 300 in the pot, everyone checked to the button who bet the pot, the SB called and I called. Turn was a blank and it was checked around. River was also a blank, button bet half pot and I had to fold.
Next hand I had AQ offsuit in SB. There were 2 limpers, I raised size of pot and both limpers called. Flop was KT3 with 2 clubs. I was out of position, no pair, no draw, so I checked. First player bet 2/3 pot, second player called. I folded but am down to 330 in chips after missing horribly.
A few hands later, I have KJ offsuit in middle position, I move all in and get 2 callers. Flop is JT2. First position bets all in, the other player folds. The bettor shows QJ. I have him outkicked!! He doenst improve and I triple up. I now have 1340 in chips.
I have AQ offsuit UTG. I just limp. I wanted to keep the pot small as I have had several bad things happen with AQ in a big pot. After I limp, one other player limps and middle position player raises the pot to 360. I decide to call and see what happens. The flop is AKJ. I have top pair and gut shot draw. I shove in and hope he doesn't have AK. Of course, he does have AK and I am eliminated. I am really starting to hate AQ. I am thinking of not even playing AQ unless I have position.
On to the next SNG!! Try, try again!
This tournament, the first hand I get inolved with, I am on the button. There is one limper in front of me. I limp with 67 offsuit. SB calls and BB checks, the flop is K4T. If everyone checks to me, I may bet. The first limper thinks a long time and checks. I decide to check also. The river is an A. The first limper bets 60 into a pot of 140 and I fold.
The player to my immediate right has been making big preflop raises literally everyhand. If I get anything playable, I plan on coming over the top.
Scratch that plan. He just moved in with 9T and was called by QQ and eliminated.
I have 68 suited in middle position, there is one limper in front of me. The blinds are 25/50. I raise to 225, everyone folds and I take the pot.
The next hand, I have KQ offsuit in late position. The same limper is in the pot again. I raise to 225 again and this time the limper calls. He checks, and I bet 300 into a pot of 500. He moves all in for 580 more. There is 1700 in the pot. I am getting better than 3 to 1. I figure I am against a pair of some type, hopefully not bigger than JJ. Unless he has a 2 in his hand, I am getting the right price. I call and he shows A6 for top pair. I fail to improve and I now have 385 chips left. I move in with QT a few hands later. I am called by QJ and am eliminated.
This session is not going well so far.
I am going to enter on more 45 player SNG. If I do not cash in this one, I am done for the evening. Wish me luck.
The first 2 hands I am in the blinds with trash, it is raised preflop both times and I am forced to fold.
I have 55 in middle position. It is min raised to 60 from UTG. There are 2 callers in front of me. I call and the player to my left calls. The flop is 6A2. Nothing for me. The player to my right bets and I fold.
I have A2 spades in late position. Blinds are 20/40. I raise to 140 after it is folded around to me. The BB calls. The flop is A58 , all diamonds. BB checks and I bet the 360 into 500 chip pot. BB calls. Feels like he has a big hand. Turn is another diamond. He checks and I check. Turn is a black Q. BB bets and I fold.
I have 455 chips left. I am in the SB with 88. I move all in after it is folded to me. The BB calls with KT suited. The flop is TTK and I am drawing dead. I am eliminated.
This session was definately not one of my better ones. My bankroll is down to $51.22. I hope things turn around soon. I think I will give up on SNGs for awhile and focus on grinding it out in some cash games.
