It's been awhile since I committed an evening session to just playing single table sit n' go tournaments (sngs). Instead of playing my usual nightly tourneys, I opted to play 3 sngs last night; of the $2+.40 variety. Although these were played simultaneously, I will just recap them one by one.
SNG #1: VERY first hand, I get dealt AA in SB. It limps to MP who raises to $100 (level 1 blinds are 10/20). It folds to me and I made it like $450 to go. It folded back to the orginal raiser who just flat called. The flop came something like Q 2 6, rainbow. He led out for 1/2 his remaining stack and I moved all in. He called with pocket TT??? I guess he put me on AK or something like that. So I doubled the very first hand. From there, I played my usual tight aggressive game (TAG). When we were 5 handed, I had about a $4500 stack (starting is $1500) and continuously put pressure on the short stacks. When they were in the blinds, I kept raising or moving all in with marginals hands. Eventually when we got to HU, we were even stacked and played a somewhat marathon HU battle. I ended up taking 1st when I raised pre with Jh6h. The flop came 2 hearts and the turn brought a gut shot straight draw. My opponent led the turn and I flatted to see another heart come on the river, the Ace of hearts. He checked to me and I stalled before moving all in. He insta-called me and my flush was good enough to take it down.
SNG #2: I got really unlucky in this table. I picked up KK in MP at about the 3rd or 4th hand of the tourney. I had taken down the first two pots, so I was up about $400 or so. I ended up getting it all in pre with my Kings and some donkey calls me with ATo. Of course he rivers the Ace and I get crippled to a micro-stack. I was actually able to double up with AQ vs AJ, but still found myself really short when the blinds were up to 50/100. I ended up pushing with pocket TT and lost the race to AJ when a Jack hit the turn.
SNG #3: I was ridiculously card dead in this tourney, except for the very first hand, I was dealt QQ in the BB. About half the table limped and I raised it to $150 to go and got 2 callers. The flop came Ace high so I just folded to any bet. Someone scooped the pot with AT I think. Anyhow, this was a particularly boring and uneventful sng. I was surprised to make it to 3 handed(which is in the money) and even more surprised to make it to HU without really playing that many hands, if any. It was ridiculous though. HU, I only had about $880 in chips. My opponent had the rest; which is about $12k. I fought back, moving all in every hand. I got lucky a few times and got my stack back to about $3k. I think I ended up shoving with a medium pocket pair and he called with a decent hand like AJ. He flopped the Ace of course and I took 2nd place. Not bad since I didn't get many playable hands the entire tourney.
Next time I will post some hands and screen caps. Until then...

Broke My Rule
Ok, ok. I broke my rule. I said I wouldn't play anymore cash, but last night my buddy M4NT1S was 2 tabling the .05/.10 NL game and I was compelled to sit down. I bought in for the minimum which is $4 and played a very loose game. Ironically, a few orbits later, M4NT1S had to sit out to go eat dinner; which sucked since he was the only reason I was playing. But while he is gone, I took down a few miscellaneous pots and was able to increase my stack up to about $7.50 or so. That's when I picked up KdQd in the SB. There were probably about 5 limpers by the time it got to me, so I decided to put in a standard raise and make it .30 to go. Everyone that limped called. The flop came down something like Th 5s 7s. I continuation bet for .30 and got 1 caller, his name is MOTELREBRK. The turn was the 9h. So we're HU on the turn and there's two flush draws out there. Figured I would continuation bet and try to take this hand away on the river. I bet .30 and MOTELREBRK min-raised it to .60. I figured he hit the 9 or was on a flush draw. I myself picked up the gut shot straight draw on the turn. The river was my money card, the Jc. I hade made my straight and both flush draws missed. I figured I would make it look like missed a flush draw, even though I had the nuts. I let me timer run down and shoved all in figuring he might call if he thought I had nothing. I got lucky and MOTELREBRK had a set of nines, which was a pretty big hand. He called and doubled me up to over $15. I played a few more hands and then got up. Its nice to run good once in awhile.

A Good and Bad Weekend
First the Bad: My San Diego Chargers were not able to pull off the upset win against the undefeated New England Patriots. The Chargers offense was really banged up, and it showed when we couldn't turn 4 trips into the red zone into touchdowns. Missing Tomlinson really took away a major threat on the ground and in the short range passing territory. My hat's off to New England though. They played well and did their job. There's always next year...
The Good: During the Charger game, I opted to buy into a $3k guaranteed tourney on Absolute Poker. It had just over 800 players so the prize pool was much more than the guarantee. I was very card dead in the early rounds but picked up some momentum in the mid to late rounds when I was able to continuously double up against big stacks and hold up against little stacks. My skill(luck) allowed me to maintain a close to avgerage stack the entire tourney. I made it all the way to the final two tables and when we were down to 12 players, I found myself with a decision. I had about a 38k stack and was in the BB with KQ. The tourney chip leader was OTB and raised enough to force me to call all in if I wanted to play my hand. Now I expected this. He had been playing extremely laggy and showed down some very weak hands. I felt he was just trying to get me to fold, so I made the call confidently. I was happy to see that I had him crushed whith his measely 78 unsuited. Unfortunately for me, he got lucky and hit 2 pair to knock me out in 12th place. I just missed the Final Table once again by just 3 players. Oh well, the payout was somewhat decent as it was 6x the buy-in.
Until next time...

Almost back to back final tables
I didn't play much last night. I was a really tired from the night before when I FT'd the $5 tourney so I figured I would look for an early tourney so I could catch up on some ZZZs. When I logged on, the $2 tourney was starting. Perfect! These donkaments are perfect practice for me. The payouts aren't much, but they allow me to try new things when playing a mtt. I was lucky to pick up some big hands early, and found myself in the top 20 in chips for the majority of the first half of the tourney. As we approached the bubble, I found myself very card dead and tried to make some plays that made me bleed off a lot of chips. Once in the money, I just kept shoving my stack all in with marginal hands like AQ, AJ, and small pocket pairs. I was able to survive long enough to cash out in 14th place. Only 5 spots away from back to back final tables. Darn it! So close.

$5 Donkament
I made another final table last night... Woo-hoo! I was pretty much card dead and had barely enough chips to meet the average stack size. But as the bubble neared, I knew I was going to have to start gambling a bit if I was going to make it deep. I doubled twice in a relatively short period of time first with AK all in from UTG and got called by AJ; I flopped the king. The other was a race between my pocket 6s vs. AK suited. After the 2nd double up, I was up to about 15k in chips and the bubble had just popped.
From there it was pretty standard until we made the FT. I was about 3rd or 4th in chips but was still only about 10 to 11 BBs deep. The blinds were HUGE! Anyhow, the player to my immediate left was really aggressive and was raising every single time it folded around to us in the blinds. For about 4 orbits he did this, until this hand came along:

Recap
I played three tourneys yesterday. I played the daily $2 which is usually a prize pool of about $700, the $5 $1500 guaranteed, and the $1 re-buy $1000 guaranteed. I didn't do too well in the $2 tourney. I didn't get many decent starting hands and everytime I tried to make a play, someone else came over the top of me. I just couldn't get any momentum going and it didn't help to be card dead. I basically busted out before the first break, which is the first hour of play.
The $5 tourney went a little bit better but really not that much more. I did make the money, but cashed out for the minimum. I think I was playing too tight in this tourney as I couldn't maximize the value on my monster hands and lost a lot of chips on my marginal hands. Sometimes I figure making the money is better than busting out for $0, but I have been playing well lately and need to start really focusing on making it deep to the last 2 tables at the minimum. I need to change my mentality that I am always going deep and that making the final table is ALWAYS a possibility. Just getting into the money is no longer the enough.
Anyhow... I usually don't play these tourneys on a work night, but I did play the $1 rebuy tourney. Typically I commit about $4 to $6 on this tourney buy I really wasn't that motivated to play to I decided to commit only $1. I decided no rebuys or addons. I played very well and won some key races which allowed me to chip up to about 15k in chips which was about the average. One of the main reasons i don't play rebuy tourneys during the week is that they take SO LONG! There are so many chips in play that it takes forever to eliminate players. I literally played about 3.5 hours and didn't even make it into the money. This tourney paid the top 36 and I busted out somewhere in the 60s. So lame, and such a waste of time. Never again will I play one of these during the week.
I hope this will be a good weekend for me. I am still looking to take down my first multi-table tourney. I am still waiting to make that one post every poker player hopes to make... hopefully soon; sooner than later. LOL

San Diego Super Chargers
Well, its Friday before playoff weekend and I am super pumped. I am confident that my Chargers will show up in Indy and put on a display of perfect offense and smash mouth defense. We got lucky in our first meeting with the Colts this year, indeed, VERY LUCKY. Some people say that it is almost impossible to beat a team, especially like the Colts, 3 times in a row. The odds makers have San Diego as a 9 point underdog... so what's new? When we win, this won't be considered a suck out victory. We are going to march into Indy and the score will show that we are STILL the team to beat in the AFC. Go Chargers!
My only other hope is that the Jags win over the Pats on Saturday so that we get to play the conference championship back here in good ol' San Diego.
Chargers FTW!!!

Took 6th after another blunder...
I MADE ANOTHER FINAL TABLE!!! Woo-hoo!
(slowly fade in background music: The Final Countdown)
First things first. As the title of my blog states, I am a micro stakes player. So yes, this tourney in particular was a whopping $2 buyin. Here is a screen shot of the payouts, # of players, etc. This was a combination of playing well and running well. I was crippled very early in the tourney when I couldn't let go of top pair and my opponent slow played a turned nut flush. I basically had to fight my way back and ended up being in the top 20 chip leaders for the remainder of the tourney about 2-1/2 hours in. Granted I was blessed with AA, KK, and QQ on more than one occassion, I played my blinds well and showed excellent pre-flop aggression to take down built up pre-flop pots. All in all, I am very happy to have made another final table but I am NOT happy with my play once I got there. I was currently 3rd in chips with 6 left and made this horrible blunder:

This particular hand really upset me because I KNEW he had a SET when he raised all in. What other hand could he be holding after he limped in from UTG and shoves when the 5 hits the board? I should have folded. My instincts told me to fold. But I convinced myself of something that was not there. I told myself he "could" be on the flush draw. Sometimes I just can't fold...
A few hands after this, I put myself at risk with a measly KQo from the button. I figured I had enough fold equity to convince both players in the blinds to just fold. I guessed wrong. I got called by As2s and found myself way behind. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

MADE ANOTHER FINAL TABLE!
And I took.... 9th. Bummer. Just kidding, I am happy to have made it to another FT. I got really lucky in a few spots to get me there, and I guess I used up all my luck because I got sucked out on at the FT.
I have complained about other players hitting 2 outters on me and getting really lucky. Well, I guess I can't complain anymore.
Check out this 1 outter that kept me alive:

Pretty unbelievable. I think that's my first time for the 1 outter. But once we made the final table, this hand sealed my fate:

2008 Really Sucks So Far
Happy New Year! Or so I thought...
I feel like I have been playing ok as of late, not great, but just ok. I have been running really bad and all my opponents have been running really good. I don't keep stats or anything, but it seems like I have been losing alot to 2 outters lately. Granted I get my money all in pre-flop with a hand like AK or AQ which is basically a 6 outter, I really hate it when the 2 outters hit against me.
I'm supposed to be the lucky one, not my opponents. LOL Hopefully I can turn this around. I have been consistently cashing in tourneys, but slightly better than break even money isn't going to help my bankroll much. I really want to improve my game so I don't have to worry about shoving 15BBs with AK/AQ in the later rounds of a tourney. I am putting my foot down. As of today, no more donkey play. I am going to FOCUS on my tourney play and you WILL see a post in the next few days titled: MADE ANOTHER FINAL TABLE AND TOOK IT DOWN FOR 1st Place!
