Finally made the money in a SNG again!! Wasn't sure I was going to make it over the bubble or not, but did and then made it to HU with a small chip lead. Played ok until the last hand where I decided the other player didn't have as good of a hand as he did. He had played tight most of the session but had been loosing up, so I took him to have high cards and not hit the flop.
Hand 111. I'm BB w/6260 chips and 9h 6h; SB has 6880 chips; blinds are 120/240. SB open raises 2 1/2 BB (600) and I call. Flop 4d 4h 5s. I bet 240 into the 1200 pot and SB raises me to 600, I call. Turn 9d. I pair my 9. I check and SB bets 1200 (1/2 the pot) and I decide to raise them all-in w/5300 chips. Not wise really, but I was thinking he might just have single high cards. SB calls and shows 3s 4s, having hit trip 4's on the flop. :-/ I still have a shot on the River. River 10d. Alas I did not get a 9.
Outside of that hand I'm pleased with my play, though I was wondering for a long time if it was going to get me anywhere as I seemed to be just trading water for some time but eventually some decent cards I could play came my way. Hand 63 was a turning point.
Hand 63. Five players left, blinds 80/160. I'm the BTN w/Ad Kc and 855 chips. CO open raises 3 BB (480) and I re-raise all-in w/855 chips. SB & BB fold, CO calls showing Ac Qd. The board played out: 4s 4c 5s Kh 10s. I now have 1950 chips and am not the short stack anymore.
A few hands later we are down to the bubble and I'm the short stack again with approx 2300 chips between top and low stack. Hand 100 I break the bubble.
Hand 100. I'm SB w/As 9h and 2550 chips. Action folds to me and open raise 3 BB (720) and BB re-raises me all-in w/their last 1970 chips. I hold my breath and decide to call and have 460 chips left. BB shows Ac 6s. Phew! Now for the board to hold up!! The board: Ad 8c 5s 6d 7h. Double Phew. BB paired their 6 on the Turn and I sucked out with a straight on the River!!
