9 SNG $2 + .15 End 7th 34 hands

I may be tireder then I think I am. I did not play this session well at all for the most part.

Started out OK folding A 10o from the BB and A 8o from the SB on hands 3 & 4 w/prior players betting at least 3 BB's. On hand 6 I was able to steal the blinds. Over time I noticed the player 2 down from my left was playing no hands and only one session. The player to my immediate left also was letting me steal their blinds on my1st early attempts.

Hand 12 I had pocket 6's as the BB and checked to an MP & SB limpers. Flop 2h 5s 9c. Only one over card so I decided to bet 75 into a 120 pot to see where I stood. EP folded and SB called. Turn 5h. I bet 75 again into a 270 pot, SB called again. River As. SB bet 320 into 420 pot and I folded.

Then on hand 14 tried a sort of blind steal as the LP limped and I bet a little over 3 BB (130) as the Button. SB & BB folded but LP called. Flop Qc 3h 4h we both checked. as we did on the 3d Turn & 6d River. He had A 8.

On hand 15 I did try a real blind steal from CO betting just a little over 3 BB's (125) w/10s 8d. Button & SB folded. BB called. Flop 9d 9h 2d, we both check as we did on the 5h Turn and 7s River. They had J 8.

There isn't a lot of good reasons for betting into hand 14 with the limp before me. On hand 15 I felt there was a good chance of both the button & SB folding based on what I'd seen of them so far, so only the BB was a bit iffy. Still I'd have saved myself 255 chips for later use if I'd have just folded and waited for a better situations.

Hand 16 there's no logic beyond just checking out two suited connectors (6h 7h). LP behilnd me limped as did I.and the CO; BB checked. Flop 2c 7d Ac.LP checked 1st and I decided to take a crack at the pot (I had middle pair) and bet just under 1/2 the 225 pot (100). Maybe the other 3 would fold and I at least had a pair.  Both did fold and I was successful and won a 225 pot.

Hand 29 I had pocket 2's as the SB. The fellow 2 to my left limped and I decided to raise to 3 BB. Not sure why I did that. Since he had played no or almost no hands up to that point any action from him should have been a clue to do no more then check. I think I mis-read what was happening, looking at it now. I wasn't paying close enough attention and took his limp as his being the BB even though I couldn't be the SB if that was the case. In any event he went all-in to my bet (as I thought, but actually a raise to him). I, of course, at that point folded.

Hand 30, on the button w/QsJh I decided to limp in with the UTG limper, SB limps and BB checks. I knew when I decided to do that that I really didn't know what I would do after the flop and what I wanted the flop to look lke for me to continue as lots of hands people might bet with would easliy beat me, such as AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ.

The flop was 3c Jc 10d. Darn, I have top pair but not sure where I stand. SB & BB check, UTG bets 120 into the 240 pot. I decide to call, SB & BB fold. Turn is Kc. That gives me an open ended staright draw, and what I didn't look closely at here is the possible flush or flush draw UTG might have. We both check the Turn which surprised me a bit; I expected UTG to make some kind of bet. River was a 6c, worsening UTG having a flush situation. UTG makes a min bet of 60 and I feel I have to call to see "for sure" what they have. Turns out they have pocket 5's, one 5 a club. That leaves me with 805 chips.

Lastly hand 34. In EP I have pocket 8's UTG limps as do I, rest fold until the SB goes all-in w/720 chips, BB then goes all-in with 2105 chips and UTG folds. Now you would think at this point I would fold, but no I don't. I decide to call. SB shows pocket 9's and BB shows Ah Qd. What does Poker Stove say about it pre-flop? Well I have an 18% chance to win. Flop was 7d Jd Jh Turn Qc and River 6d.

Once more down and out of the money. That's when I decided I must be tiredier then I thought I was. Not that the  plays before this hand were the best, but the only real option I had after the SB & BB went all in as to fold my pocket 8's. I KNOW THIS, REALLY!!!! But I didn't act on it.

OK that's it for today. Off to bed for a while.
