Payout 1st - $4669.92, 9th - $345.17, 82-90ieth - $36.55 I used my Step 3 ticket for this session.
Grrrrr. I seem to go along doing reasonably ok, then things seem to go south and/or I don't seem able to get any traction and my chips keep dwindling. When I play cards I either get out bet or they have better cards, when I don't play some of my cards have a tendency to hit. The other problem is a good number of players are betting 3 BB or better and, in general, I'm getting crap cards so it doesn't seem worth the risk to gamble with them. There is probably a learning experience here someplace!
Last hand sort of tells the tale. I'm SB w/Qs 9d and 1849 chips; blinds are 80/160. Action folds to HJ who open raises 3 BB (480), rest fold to me and I decide to call as does the BB. Flop 8c Ad Qc. I'd like to make to a play here but there is that big ole Ace out there and a player who opened w/3BB bet and well could have an Ace. All three of us check. Hmmm. Turn 3h. I check and so does the BB; HJ bets 1040 into the 1520 pot. I decide re-raise all w/ my last 1529 chips, BB folds. Either my paired Q is good or I'm done. HJ calls and shows Kh 9s. Indeed my Q is good. One card to go. River Kd. I'm sunk. :-/ & that is how things seemed to go in the 2nd half of this session. Maybe if I'd gone all-in sooner he'd have folded, but I'm not sure of that.
I need a break!
