I love Friday evenings.

    Default I love Friday evenings.

    I know mattiesmat likes Saturday evenings but I love Friday evenings. This was a $5.50 6-max SnG. It had the worst collection of players I've seen in a while. Early on I'd had my all-in with KK cracked by A4 when an A spiked on the river, hence my short stack. I thought I was out of this one but then these two hands happened. It also gives examples of how not to play AA and how not to play the bubble with a short stack around. It's a 6-max table and the top 2 get paid.

    LOL, those 90 chips could be the start of a great comeback though.

    Crazy stuff. There are times at the table I feel like explaining concepts such as pot odds and ranges, but then I whack myself in the head and keep my damned mouth shut.
    Just dipping my toes back in.
