Sometimes you get lucky

  I was in another $2 six player SNG Dbl-Up. One of the players that I a couple of hundred hands for, but few notes, plays very tight. In this session every time he entered a hand (except for possible BB limps) he bet or raised all-in. I was in MP w/pocket 9's. I decided to limp in, the SB limped, and the BB RR A-I. Phooey I thought. Pocket 9's aren't that great with a A-I RR Pre-F from a very tight player and usually I'd fold in this situation, but this time I decided I wanted to see what he went A-I with. This was the 3rd or 4th time he'd gone A-I this session and everyone folded each time, so I had no clues beyond he plays tight, what he might consider going A-I with, so I decided to call and eat my $2 just to get that information.

He turned over pocket Q's  making me a 4-1 underdog. Oh well I thought. The flop came Ah 6s 2d. Turn 9d. Ah I have hope, I only have to dodge a Q on the River. River 2h. WOW, I was still alive and now in nice shape in this session. LUCKY! :-)

  Later I thought it would have been better to 1st check Poker Tracker and see what I have. Did that, and it only shows his cards for 4 hands that didn't give me much information.
