Mixed play on my part, for now I'm only going to cover two hands, one early on, and the other the last one. If I was a bit more patience I probably would have made it in the money. On the other hand if I'd hit my flush or a 3rd 9 I'd have been in pretty good shape to finish 1st or 2nd.
Hand 13. I'm SB w/Qh 2h. HJ opens w/a limp bet of 50, I call & BB checks. Flop Qc 2s Qs. Now that is interesting. I flopped a FH ... Q's full of 2's. I opt to slow play and just check. BB & HJ do the same. Turn 4d. This time I make a min bet of 50 into the 150 pot, BB & HJ call. River 2d. At this point I figure I have it won. I bet 150 into the 300 pot, BB raises me to 750 and I re-raise him to 1350 which will put him all-in. I'm thinking he may have a two and a smaller FH of 2's full of Q's. He calls his last 150 and shows, uh oh, Qd 4s. He hit a bigger FH on the turn ... Q's full of 4's. Rats. I wasn't expecting that!!! I'm still in pretty good shape though w/2620 chips left.
Hand 75. Four players left, blinds 100/200, I have 2800 chips, am SB w/pocket 9's (9s 9h). UTG open raises w/a bet of 3 BB (600), I call. Flop 2h Jh 7h. Not too bad for my pocket 9's and I have a flush draw, but UTG could also if they hadn't already had one. I bet 800 into the 1400 pot and UTG goes all-in w/3100 chips. I think about it and decide to call. For some reason I didn't feel they had the flush, but could have something that could beat my pocket 9's. They show As Kd. Good, no flush draw and only two over cards. My chances look decent. Turn Ac. Well there go my pocket 9's but I still have the same number of outs. River Js. Phooey. No flush and I'm out of there.
