Two quick SNGs tonight
Lost the first, in 7th place. Lost a couple close hands and just couldn't recover. Nothing remarkable to report.
Five hands in to the second $10+1 SNG, had more than doubled to T2200, both times with nut flushes. Was able to go conservative thereafter, seeing flops cheap where possible and only taking down pots when I had very strong hands, with the occasional semi-bluff steal thrown in as appropriate. Was able to execute the Gap Concept with great effeciency towards the end - with six players left, I had T3000, one player had T2000, and four had less than T1000 and were all terrified of going out. Was able to raise in to people with hands I normally wouldn't raise with and take down significant blind steals.
This game proceeded too slow overall: the blinds reached 150/300 with six players left, and hit 200/400 with five players left. By the time we got down to three players, stacks were pretty close and getting traded around hand to hand pretty quickly.
Lost a big pot near the end where I pushed someone all-in pre-flop holding AJs versus his A6o. He caught a six on the turn, and I got no help on the river. I was forced all-in by the blind on the next hand with rags which won, then pushed with the next hand from the small blind with 8Jo against 97o but lost when the river spiked a seven. Finished third.
$-2 not a bad variance for two games tonight, especially given that I had ample opportunity to take down the third except for some unkind suckouts.
