Tuesday SNG Night

Seemed like a good night to sit down and play some SNGs on UB last night since I didn't see very many of the "regulars" out there. As usual I started a little slow but ended up doing fairly well. I played 15 games, winning three and taking second in five more.

I don't know what it is lately, but until these three wins I had lost ten (!) straight HU portions of these SNGs. Almost every single time I've had at least one chance to win outright and nearly every time (maybe EVERY time?) I was favored in the hand. Pretty sick to be able to manage to lose all of them in those spots. Anyway, I have won the last three out of four of those so at least I know I can win.

Got a few nice "trophies" last night from a couple of fish/nits, one guy asked me why I "didn't just call and see a flop" when I shoved with QQ over his late-position raise (I lost the race to his AKo). Two other guys commented on how "dumb" I was to shove T9s in a very obvious shove-like-its-my-real-job spot, blind vs. blind, on the bubble of another game. Guy called me with A6o, which was pretty dumb if he even had a clue about ICM or thought I would be much tighter than T9s, and lost. He managed to finish third somehow after being crippled. I won this one for those keeping score.

The last comment I got was a compliment. Heads up in one of the victories "she" said that I had "a really nice (Sharkscope) graph". Hmmm. I say its a girl because of the pic (it was "real", not a professional/magazine/whatever pic), she plays tight/passive (ok, so I just stereotyped this person, sorry Jen!) and also I based this on a few other things I saw her say in the chat box. Either its a girl or someone doing a GREAT job with a number of reverse tells... I'm sold.

Anyway, looks like I'll do another set of at least 15 games on Thursday, especially since I cashed in my last five in a row. That has the potential for a very good 20 consecutive game score for the weekly TLB... in fact I'm not too bad off now since I can pretty much toss the first four games of this set. Hopefully I'll start off really well this time and keep it up... I'd love to post a big score for the monthly TLB also.
