18 SNG $5 + .50 End 8th 51 hands

Took a break and watched a bit of SNL, installed the latest PT beta. No problem with a virus warning. However, PT HUD was not working and I found that distracting. I certainly play w/o HUD and have when PT gave me some problems a few months ago. I had no error warning and there are no messages in the forums on PT's site. I might need to reboot, but couldn't do that until I finished this session and caught up my blog notes for some sessions earlier.

Hand 32. I/m down to 805 chips, as the SB w/Qd 7s. Six player table at the moment. All fold to the BT who limps, I limp and the BB checks. Flop 9s As 8s. Interesting for my hand as it gives me a flush draw as well as a straight flush draw. I bet 80 into the 240 pot, BB folds and BT raises to 480. If I call I'll just have 165 chips left so go all-in & BT calls. He could well have a better flush already then my draw, but if he doesn't I shall get to double up. BT shows Ad 8c, two pair. Beats me but no danger to my possible flush. Turn 2s. I hit my flush! :-)  River 4h. I now have 1690 chips.

Hand 51. I have 1820 chips, EP2 position w/Ad Qd. UTG folds and I bet 2 BB (240), all fold to the SB who calls as does the BB. Flop  6s 8s 6h. Not any help to my AQ. SB checks, BB bets 120 & I  & SB call. Really a good spot for me to fold. BB could have trip 6's. Turn Ah. Not really a card I like to see because it gives me hope that maybe I can win this after all. SB checks again, BB bets 120 into a 1080 pot, I  raise to 480, SB & BB call. Not really encouraging. Turn 7c. SB checks, BB bets the 2520 pot, and I call with my remaining 970 in chips. SB folds.

As I said I was distracted and I didn't take any time to think what the BB might have beyond trip 6's that already beat me, could have a FH or a straight. The odds of my A's holding up is very slim. This follows my pattern of not given the other player credit for a winning hand when they go all-in like that. I'll slightly excuse this time due to my distracted state, but it's a definite problem I need to resolve.

BB shows 4s 5s giving them a straight. I'm done.

Now off to rebooting and see if PT HUD comes back.
