at the proverbial end of the tunnel?
Last evening I participated in one $2 SNG tourney, 9-handed on FTP.
Analyzing what happened… I started out with a mistake…

Ok, maybe not a huge mistake but still, I think I should have been in there with AK and then I probably reacted properly… anyway… hindsight says I did ok.

This hand kind of wasn’t great, I couldn’t let go of what i had, couldn’t put him on a range yet, should have folded.

Got a little aggressive here and it worked… I think my table image at this point is pretty wild, since it is only hand 3.

This was me spewing chips for something too small…
Lets see, there is a hand where I made a big recovery, let me try to find it…
Oh, here is hand 5, where I screwed up big time…

Let’s see though, there was one particular hand I was wondering about…
I pushed twice on reasonable cards, won both pre-flop, now my table image is crazy.
Checked through my BB with J-8 off and still they held up…
And the scary recovery hand…

Probably not the smartest move but it worked out… I’d really appreciate any comments on my play guys/gals, I haven’t heard much from you lately, not sure anyone is interested in this blog, and it will dissapear if not. Thanks in advance!
