18 SNG Tier One $8 + .80 End 9th 58 hands

Well that session had a very disappointing and depressing end for me!! I'd been playing very tight just about the whole session. Partly because I didn't have decent cards,the player on my left jumping into almost every pot and either the player to my right or someone else along the way betting 3 BB's when I was the BB with no cards to make it worthwhile to call them. 

 Hand 4 I was the BB w/Ad 2c, 4 limpers including the Button & SB. .Flop 2d 2s 10c give me trip 2's w/ an Ace kicker. Everyone checks to the Button who limp bets 20 into the 150 pot, SB & I call, other two fold. Turn 5c. SB checks and I bet 105 into the 240 pot & Button calls.SB folds. River 6s. I bet 200 into the 450 pot, button calls. Button shows Qc 10d, pairing the board 10. My trip 2's win and I have 1970 chips.

Hand 26 as BB w/KcQc UTG bets 3 BB's, I fold.
Hand 27 as SB w/Ah 9d Button limps, I limp and BB who is player to my left goes all-in. I fold.

Hand 37 UTG I have pocket 5's and limp. BB calls. FLop 7c 2c 4c. I bet 1/2 pot of 200 and BB folds.

Hand 44 as BB w/Ad 8h UTG once again bets 3 BB's it folds around to me and I fold.

This has me wondering if player to my left has seen my VPIP is near 0 or has been most of this session and is deciding that if he bets 3 BB's he can expect me to fold and hopefully the rest of the folks along the way. Or is he just happening to get decent hands those times?  I don't know.

Hand 51 as SB I have pocket 4's and limp to the BB and he goes all-in with 1375 chips to my 1335 chips. I fold. Again not knowing if they have good cards or what they see from my previous behaviors.

Hand 52 on the Button, all fold to the Short Stack person on my right who goes all-in with 135 chips. I call and the BB folds. Flop 5c 3c 5s.CO has Kh 9s. Turn Jc and River 8h. I win small pot.

Hand 57 as Button I get some good cards As Ks. I bet 3 BB's and player to my left goes all-in with 1605 chips. This time I decide to call them, partly feeling a bit impatient and tired of them always making big raises and/or bets on me when I've had nothing to fight back with in the past. They have pocket 3's (3s 3h). Now if I can only hit an Ace or King! Flop 3d Ad 2h. Well I pair my King but the hit a set for their 3's. Turn 2d, River 9h. I'm now left with 15 chips!! :-/

Next hand, hand 58 I had Kc 4s and just called. SB & BB were in and just checked on the Turn and the River. Flop 7d 6s Qh. Turn 10h and River 5c. SB mucked their cards and BB showed 8c 4h, giving them a 4-8 straight. Fitting huh? Why shouldn't 8 4 beat K 4???

Maybe good discipline says I should have folded that AKs instead of calling all-in. I'm not sure. If I had won I'd have definitely been in position to win one of the $26 tokens and at worse 6th position $14 and I did need some more chips to get into the top 6.

At this rate I may not be playing the Tucson Open this week!! I now need to get back my $8.80 to keep my bankroll steady.
