Day 1
Results + $20.24
Tonight I played 4 $5 sng's I started of good with a second place finish. I was then knocked out of the next 2. In the last game I almost lost to what I think was a bad call. (I would love to hear another players opion.) In the hand a fairly agressive player in Early Position min raised to $300 we each had about 3k. I was in the big blind with AQ suited. the small blind called and I raised to $900. The original raiser called the small blind folded. The flop came J rag rag. I led out and put my whole stack in. The raiser immediatly called and fipped over KJ. Now I feel this was a bad preflop call because the only other time I had reraised preflopped I showed down QQ. I also had been playing very tight. This would only leave him with at best 3 outs. Whatever his justification for calling preflop in the end I got lucky and spiked an A on the river.(I also had a flush draw clubs.) This gave me a 6.5 k which was almost half the chips in play. Needless to say I took the rest of the tournament down without too much trouble.
In closing I feel that I played really well, but I don't know if I will be able to play 4 a night. One thing I might mention is that in my first match I picked up a definent tell. The opposing player would always reraise me if he held a pair. If an ace hit the board I would either bet out or reraise his bet all in and he released the hand every time. The only reason he won (and he admited this in the chat) is that when I reraised his bluff (I was bluffing and knew he would fold) all in, and he said he hit the wrong button an accidently called and beat my high J with a pair of 1o's he caught on the turn. O well thats poker. Tommorro I will play during the day, but at night I'm going parting with my coworkers(all over 30) WHOOOO.
