The last couple days have been pretty neutral as far as results. I failed to cash in several tournaments, but took down second in a 27 player SNG. My bankroll is holding steady at just under $129.
I played a large field tournament last night, but failed to cash. For the most part, I tried to keep the pots small unless I had a very strong hand. There is one hand I am particularly proud of. I was 2 behind the BB. The player UTG raised to 3 times the BB. I had AK suited and reraised about 2.5X his bet. He repopped me for all of my chips. I had been watching this player for quite a while and he had been quite aggressive. He been bullying other players with large preflop bets. I thought for a couple minutes and finally decided he was making a move on me. I called his all in and he showed K4 offsuit. Nice call!! He didn't improve his hand and I doubled up.
Late in the tournament, the following hand came up. I had AA in middle position. I raised to 2.5X the BB. The button, who was the tournament chip leader, reraised 3X my bet. I four bet and the button moved all in. Of course, I called. He turned over Q5 of spades!!! On the flop he flopped a 5 and a spade. The turn and river were both spades and I was eliminated in 97th place. Oh well, there is always next time. I got my money in good and thats all I can do. I am happy with how patiently I have been playing. I know it is just a matter of time to my first big win.
