Mixed play. In the 1st few hands I had some small wins and by hand 11 my chip count was up to 2370.

Hand 13. I'm UTG w/pocket 3's (3c 3d). I limp in w/50, UTG+1 & MP call, HJ, CO, & BTN fold, SB calls, & BB  checks. Nice number if I hit my set. Flop 8c Qh 3s. I do hit my set! I bet 125 into the 250 pot, UTG+1 folds, MP (short stack) raises all-in w/550 chips, rest fold, I call. MP shows Qd 7s having paired his Q on the flop. Turn As. River 9s. I win and have 2915 chips.

Hand 35. I'm SB w/pocket 6's (6h 6d) and 2810 chips. Action folds to MP who open raises 2 BB (160), action folds to me, I call and BB folds. Flop 7h 4c 2s. Interesting, I miss my set but those aren't terrible cards so I bet 200 into the 400 pot. MP raises all-in w/12,222 chips. Well that isn't a hard decision for me and I fold. MP chooses to show he had pocket A's (As Ad). I have 2490 chips.

Hand 46 I lose some chips. I'm HJ w/Ah Jc and 2090 chips. I open raise 2 BB (200), CO calls, BTN & SB fold, BB calls. Flop Kc Qd Qs. A somewhat confusing flop to me. Paired Q's don't look good and I have 1/2 of an open ended straight draw. All 3 of us check. Turn 4h. No help to me. BB & I check, CO bets 100 into the 650 pot. BB folds and since it is a cheap bet and I still have a straight draw, I call. Turn 5c. Still nothing for me. I check and CO bets 100 into the 850 pot. Since I'm curious what he might have, I call. CO shows Ad 4c, having paired his 4 on the turn. I have 1690 chips.

Hand 74. I'm BB w/As Qc and 1050 chips. Blinds are 100/200; not good for my chip stack. Action folds to MP2 who limps in w/200, BTN calls & BB raises going all-in w/705 chips. I decide to re-raise all-in as well w/my last 1050 chips since I'll only have around 500 chips left by just calling. MP2 calls and BTN folds. SB shows Kd 7c; MP2 has pocket 5's (5s 5h). I have one or two over cards on each of them. Flop 5c 4s 2s. MP2 hits their set, I have a wheel straight draw and runner, runner nut flush draw. Turn 9s. River 9h. I'm gone.
