Decided to try a 200 FTP Sat to the $200K Double Deuce. Four places are paid. 1st get entry to the $200 K DD, 2nd 1600 FTP, 3rd 960 FTP, and 4th 640 FTP. It was Turbo, but the blinds were only 1 minute less than the usual 6 min blinds SNG's I usually play. I tended to play a bit too passive, limping in to see if I could see some cheap flops and getting raised pre-flop 2x-3x my limp that I felt I best fold to.
Hand 2 in CO position w/Qc 10d. Action folded to me so I limped in. CO & BTN folded, SB called & BB checked. Flop 8s 9s 7s. I have an open ended straight draw, but the flop shows a possible flush, maybe even a straight flush. SB & BB check. I decide to bet the 90 pot & see if that scares anyone away. SB folds but BB raises me to 180. I decide to assume his check raise may mean something and fold, besides there is no way I could beat a flush. Down a few chips, but I gave it a shot.
Hand 13. Seven players at table. I'm SB w/Qc Jd. Action folds to HJ who limps, CO calls, BTN folds, I call & BB checks. Flop Qd Js 4s. I have top two pair. I decide to check to see what the others will do, BB checks, HJ bets 100 into the 200 pot, CO calls and I raise to 200. Both the HJ & CO call. Turn 6d. Nothing that looks harmful to me. I decide to bet aggressively this time and bet 400 into the 800 pot. Again both the HJ & CO call. Hmmm, what might they have? I'm assuming no sets, maybe flush or straight draws. River 6h. First card that's felt scary. Certainly no flush or straights out there but could that 6 make for trips? I think about it and decide, I don't really think either of them have trip 6's. I only have 640 chips left and go all-in. If they can beat me, well ok. Both fold and I win the 2000 pot. Looks like my assumptions were correct.
Nothing else seemed worth playing till the next hand. Occasionally I had some cards I'd like to play to see the flop but others either bet, before or after me, more than I wanted to risk Blinds had gone up to 80/160 and as BB I finally got some cards to play with.
Hand 45. Six players at the table. I'm BB w/Ac Qd and 1225 chips after I post the BB. HJ & CO limp in, SB folds and I decide to go all-in with my last 1385 chips. I'm actually 13 out of 13 at this point. HJ folds but CO who is Big Stack w/11,586 chips calls. They show 6h 6c. I have two over cards. Flop 10h 8d Ah. I pair my Ace!! Yeah. Two cards to go. Turn 3d. One card to go. River 6s. UGH!!! Instead of nicely doubling up I'm outta there!!
Overall I'm not unhappy with most of my play this session. I need to think more about those times I limped and wasn't able to get to a flop. Maybe I should be betting a few of those stronger or not at all.
