Discouraging end to this one. I had been playing well, but not picking up many chips. By hand 21 we were down to 5 players and I was 5th. When I had good pocket pairs I'd bet 2 BB or 3 BB and not get any callers. Last hand I got sucked out on on the River.
Hand 18. Six players. Pocket Q's, HJ position. UTG folds, I bet 3 BB (150), everyone folds.
Hand 25. Five players. Pocket 7's, CO position. UTG folds, I bet 2 BB (120), everyone folds.
From here till my end it's always five players.
Hand 28. Pocket K's, SB. Action folds to BTN who bets 2 BB (120), I raise to 360, BB & BTN fold. This hand I could have just called and maybe the BTN would have something small and maybe I'd have been able to pick up a few more chips.
Hand 35. Pocket K's, CO position. UTG folds, I bet 2 BB (160), everyone folds.
Hand 41. Blinds 40/80. I'm UTG w/pocket 9's (9s 9c), I open w/2 BB bet (160), CO & BB calls, rest fold. Flop 6h 4h 5d. At least all the cards are undercards, but I don't like the straight possibilities. BB checks, I bet about 1/2 the pot (240/520), CO folds and BB goes all-in. Why? For some reason I don't feel he has a straight or a bigger pocket pair, less certain about a set. I only have 835 chips left and have top pair at this point, so I call. He shows 6d Jh. Only a pair of 6's, much weaker than I expected and I feel good about my call. Turn Ah. Don't like that as he now has a flush draw. Next card though, was the killer. River 6c. He hits trip 6's and I'm done. :-/
As I said I don't feel bad about my play, only unhappy about the end result, but if I keep playing pretty much like I did here and my past couple of SNG's I expect to see good results over the long term.
