Overall I played ok. Probably not quite aggressive enough in the 2nd round. The fall came when my pocket A's got beat.
2nd round, Hand 36. I'm SB w/1725 chips and pocket A's (Ad Ac). Blinds 25/50. I open raise to 100 and BB calls. Flop 9c 7s 3d. Looks good to me. BB checks and I bet 1/2 the pot of 200. BB raises me to 200 and I re-raise him to 525 and he re-raises me all in with his last 950 in chips. Crap! Did he hit a set? I suppose at this point my best bet would be fold and lick my wounds, but I can't let go of my pocket A's, so I call. BB shows 9h 3h. He hit two pair on the flop. Well I have a few outs. Turn 5c. River Kd. I'm down to 500 chips. Maybe I can make a comeback.
Hand 37. I have Ac 9s and before anything happens I've decided I'm going all in. SB open raises 3 BB (150), suggesting he might have something, but I have an Ace and raise all-in, he calls. BB shows pocket 4's (4c 4h). I have two overcards and a chance to double up. Turn Qs. River 8h. At least I won a step 1 ticket for the next time I play.
