TOUR 36 $0.75 + .15 st6 End 20 18 hands Sat $200K Double Deuce

This tourney pays 3 places, 1st Entry, 2nd-3rd $$. 3 minute blinds.

I never really got my bearings on this one. Hand 5 I had pocket Q's and open raised 2 BB (80). Three of the six stayed. Flop 7c Ac 9s. I checked as did the next two and the BTN bet 800 into the 380 pot and we all folded.

Hand 18 I had Ac Qc on the BTN. Four players left. UTG folded, I open raised 2 BB (160)and the SB & BB called. Flop 2d 4c 8d. No help to me. SB goes all-in, BB folds, and I call w/my last 995 chips hoping I have two over cards. BB shows 2s 4s having hit two pair on the flop. Turn 10c. River Ad. I'm done.

Compared to most sessions I'm in, the players in this 6 player table format seemed to jump in almost every hand. Now that may be due to the how expensive this  is and they just "want to play" and aren't concerned about what cards they have. The SB in that last hand who had 2s 4s called my opening 160 raise with cards that are very likely to lose more often than not. It may be I need to bet much more aggressively when I have decent cards to keep the other players out. With 3 min blinds there isn't a lot of time to wait around.
