Tour 90 $3 + .30 d ko End 22nd 72 Hands No KO's

Well this one went better and I lasted longer BUT still busted out. I had one nice double-up where I decided the pot made it worth a small call I needed to make and my not so great cards hit. Last hand I had a bunch of outs post flop, but none came through.

Hand 72. I'm CO w/10c Jc and 5725 chips. Blinds are 300/600/ante 75. UTG open raises 3 BB (1800). It folds to me and I call, rest fold. Flop 9c Qc 3h. Nice flop for me. I've a straight flush draw as well as an open ended straight draw. UTG checks and I decide that with all those draws I might just as well go all-in and hope it 1) scares UTG off and I pick up the 5100 pot,   and 2) if he calls I hope I hit one of my 14 outs or maybe even 20 (I'm not sure if I can the 7's or A's, though I'm pretty sure I can on the Turn with two cards left to come). UTG calls and shows Ac 10s. One overcard. Turn 4s. River 7s. I miss and I'm gone.

So far in the three sessions I've played I've not had any opportunities to knock anyone out, so that doesn't seem to be much of a benefit to me. Regular 90 pays thru 18, compared to KO that pays through 9. However, the KO 90 fills up a lot faster than the regular 90 so you actually have a much better chance of getting to play with it.
