RUSH TOUR 80 $2.25 + .25 End 13 111 Hands Sat miniFTOPS ME

Payout was 1-2 Entry, 3- $22.88, 4- $13.72  5- $9.15

Played better this round though I had trouble making much ground chip wise. Early on I hit a couple of flushes that gave me a few extra chips. My high chip count was around 5700.

Hand 96, I'm the BTN w/Ah Jh, 4680 chips. Blinds are 120/240. Six players. UTG folds, CO open raises 2 BB (480), I call, SB folds, and BB calls. Flop 4h 8s 5h. Nice for a draw on my nut flush. BB checks, CO bets 1200 into the 1500 pot. I'd rather not call that much but I'm going for the draw so do. BB folds. The CO has 13,520 chips after that bet, so I'm not sure if I raised him or went all in if he would have folded. In retrospect going all-in to his bet might have been a better choice for me and might have got him off his hand. Turn 8c. That pairs the board and I still don't have my flush. CO checks and I check. River 10s, No flush, no pair, just Ace high. :-/ CO checks & I do too. He shows pocket 3's (3s 3h). With that low of a pair, indeed, if I'd been more aggressive I might have got him off that hand. I don't think I paid close enough attention to his passive play to use that in considering what I should do. I was more happy he wasn't raising so I got an easy way to see if my flush draw would happen, instead of seeing it as possible weakness of his hand that I might exploit.

Hand 111. This looked like a chance to increase my meager chip stack that was at 1650 after I posted the 150 SB. I have Ac Qd. Five players. Action folds to me and I go all-in. BB w/17,660 chips calls and shows 9s 6d. I have two over cards!! Flop Jd 8d Js. So far so good. Turn 6h. BB pairs their 6. River 4s. I'm done!
