Sit and Go

Before I get into the Sit and Go I played last night, let me remind you that I am a terrible and impatient limit hold'em player. I dropped a buy-in in the ring game I sat in yesterday. Now, onto some SNG hands!

This is every player's wet dream. It was also the first hand I played in the SNG, talk about building an image...

This would be the second hand I played. Short handed, the only hand I'm afraid of playing back at me is the low-stacked player on the button. Sure as hell, he re-popped it all-in. Am I supposed to call here? I'm really not wanting to gamble in this spot, but I figure his range is pretty big against a cut-off raiser.

An absolutely miserable call on the turn. I acted too quickly; how could he possibly pot without a hand that has me drawing near-dead? To compound my mistake, I missed a prime bluffing opportunity when he checked the river to me.

I thought I had made a great play here against two big cards, but he has the one hand that is almost a must call. He took every last second of his TIME clock, and I swear to God the last second was the longest one second since the UM v. MSU game a while back.

He just got unlucky that I found a hand. I was very pleased that it held up.

I'm not going to lie to you, it is a wonderful feeling when your hands hold up. Had to sweat the river on this one though...

I think my open push is the best play here. My hand is super vulnerable and indeed, I had to sweat two cards to burst the bubble.


We volleyed back and forth three-handed, and eventually I put the pedal to the metal and started jamming from my BB and button. Then CHAOS took a stand and jammed with AJ, to which the BB moved in with I mucked my QK, which would have been the winning hand. Either way, the shorter stacked player with A7 flopped his 3-outer and doubled through.

I thought I played this hand sneakily, but I was for some reason truly scared of AA. I prolly could have eked out a river value bet too.

I would have preferred this hand held; but it didn't, so we're back at square one.

Right before this hand I found KK in the BB and made it 940 to go. CHAOS called on the button, and unfortunately an Ace fell on the flop. I wanted to donk off and call when he pushed, but I resisted. By the outcome of the last hand, I would have rather got it in with KK just for the hell of it.
