Otherwise known as getting lucky with cards and lucky with opponents at the 1\/2 tables. A lot of my big hands and medium pairs got hit by the flop or the turn, and I managed to make about $60 or 22.11BB\/100 hands. It’s been a while since I’ve pulled off that kind of win rate. And hey, it still feels good.<\/p>\n

Morning freeroll results were pretty mediocre. I’m playing pretty well all morning, but by the time we’re down to four tables, I’ve got below average in chips. I figure I can make it to the money (20 places get paid), and right after I do this calculation, the flop comes up Axx, and I try to win with my A8s. I bet, AK raises, I call. This happens two more times! What was my problem? I should have folded. Anyway, after this fiasco, he takes the pot, and I’m left with 1.5 times the big blind. Next BB, I call a raise with T8 and my sorry ass goes out in 37th place. How annoying.<\/p>\n

Also managed to catch Pauly<\/a> at an Omaha SNG. Like I told him at the table, Omaha freaks me out. I like playing it, and I think it’s good to learn how to play it, but I’m really pretty shitty at figuring out what the hell makes a good hand. Pauly gets props for playing it. Alas, he bubbled out in 4th. <\/p>\n

Kinda like my SNG Friday night with JC. Or rather, my second SNG Friday night. JC didn’t manage to secure a place in the first one. First hand I get KQ suited or something, and the flop comes up AJ9. I forget the particulars, but I had a straight draw and flush draw and called someone’s all-in. They had AK. Turn makes my flush, river makes his boat. Ugh. Out in 10th place, first hand! Something tells me I should avoid tournament play when an entry fee is involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
