8:05pm - Bought into another $2+.25 180-person SnG.

8:15pm - Got KK, raised, flop comes AKQ... player raises his all-in and I call... yes, he's got the straight. Turn: A. River: K. Sick, I feel bad.. but not too bad.

9:10 pm - 11th out of 65 so far... doing well again! Folding lots of hands, waiting for people to get weeded out I suppose. We'll see what the next hours bring...

9:32 pm - I feel like the cards are working against me... I mean it's not surprising really, but my AKs never hit, my KKs do but straights and flushes come out, just a weird night. I'm still doing well, folding most of my cards :P Oh and all of my bluffs are getting re-raised. Ugh!

9:53pm - Agah! This "flop not hitting" crap has got me on the bubble now, 31st out of 40... I'm just trying to cash at this point. Once I get there, I can figure out a plan for getting to the final table....

10:02 pm - I'm gonna go through the hand history for this tournament and see how many times I got 68o, 73o, T4o, etc.. just trashy cards the majority of the night. I'm still alive though.. If I can catch one hand I am right back in this!

10:05 pm - Well, I caught a hand.. pocket 7s. At this point, we've been stealing blinds over and over, just changing hands. So, when someone else calls, I move all-in to steal. (I definitely overplayed the 7s, in retrospect I should've just min-raised probably.) As the other "stealer" calls my all-in, he turns over Aces. Done for! Oh well, good experience and a cheap way to play poker for 2 hours.

Thanks for the response sarbox, I'll think about playin 2nl... definitely lowers the tilting aspect of the game. I also wanna figure out how to work Poker Tracker with UltimateBet... I got the little Hand History program, but it wouldn't work the first time I tried it. I definitely like UltimateBet a lot more for SnG's, as their fees are lower and they allow 10-max instead of 9.

Anyways, I'll keep trying to post stuff up here on a regular basis. Thanks!
