I finished 27th. On the bust hand there were 2 callers. The big blind raised to 5BB to 750. I then shoved all in with pocket Kings. He calls and guess what he has AA. oh well thats poker
BTW in Australia it is 1.30am so i'll be back tomorrow morning so about 9 or so hours away.

Currently 16/27 for #2 at the break. I have played well except one hand where I raised with 2 pair on the flop and he had a pair but he turned 2 nines to give him a full house lost about 1500 on that hand or so.

Ah so annoying, the chip leader kept raising trying to steal the blinds, so when i had 55 i tried to shove, although this time he had aa, so i lost that.
Finished 18th/90, so close to prizes yet so far.

However I did have some good plays in this sit and go. I managed to triple up with pocket jacks, and later won 1.2k with ka

got knocked out very early this tournament. my 88 lost to JJ after i re raised all on the turn on a low flop. Misread the situation thought he was cbet with aq etc might give another a go since that went so quickly

On second break i am 8/28, with 6.5k in chips. I have had bad cards the whole time. The best hands being 44,22 and aj, but i tripled up midway with the aj which was great, so i hope i willl get better cards for the rest.

It was a very interesting tournament i was doing ok at the beginning, however this guy kept going all and he had 800 chips left so i called him a 6, he had 89, and he hits the 8. maybe i should have been a little more cautious but he had done it about 5 or 6 times. I never really recovered from that. At the end point I had a flush and open ended straight draw but the guy had a full house so thats what happened there. I think i finished around 40th.

I have had a bad start, but there is plenty of time to make up ground.

Came 40th again. Once again the aggresive type that liked raise, raised, i shoved with pocket 10's. He had ka and he hit the ace.
EDIT: that was #8
Now for #9 and then i will take a break and regather, since this has been horrible so far.

Hi Mike,

You are doing fine, just remember that there are two ways to win; your opponents fold or you have the best hand at showdown.

Watch the Spacegravy videos and download the cheatsheet from Rockerguy in this thread:

http://www.pokerschoolonline.com/for...221#post320221

Remember SnG play online regards an adaptation from your live game play.

I hope that helps and remember just one win or two final tables and we are in profit

Cheers,

TC
