More Sit N Go Action

Played 3 more sit n goes on Stars.
Couple disappointing results with some bad draw outs.

Strangely enough, played 3 30+3 Sit N Goes on Party and moneyed in all 3.
2 Seconds and 1 third.

1st sit n go on Stars have no one to blame but myself:

Started with 1500 in chips and worked my way up to 2860 with 5 people left.
Blinds 75/150
Im in the small blind with Ah 6c and its folded around to me, so instead of raising, what do I do, I limp and the BB checks.
*** FLOP *** [9h 4c 5d]
siberianex: checks
ekimador: bets 150
siberianex: raises 450 to 600 Wanted to see if he has a hand or was just making a steal raise.
ekimador: calls 450 He kinda answered my question.
*** TURN *** [9h 4c 5d] [Th]
siberianex: checks
ekimador: bets 150
siberianex: folds
ekimador collected 1500 from pote
kimador: shows [4h 9d] (two pair, Nines and Fours) He did have a hand so good read.

I could have had his blind before the flop, but misplayed it and lost 750 instead.

2nd hand same situation and same guy, I guess I did not learn my lesson.
Down to 4 and bubble time I have 2260 and 3rd in chips Blinds still 75/150.
Folded around to me and I limp like a dumbass again.

*** FLOP *** [7d 4h 6s]
siberianex: bets 300 Wanted to see if my 2nd pair was good.
ekimador: raises 300 to 600 He sorta answers, but I did not buy it for whatever reason
siberianex: raises 1510 to 2110 and is all-in Brain fart !!!
ekimador: calls 1510
*** TURN *** [7d 4h 6s] [3s]
*** RIVER *** [7d 4h 6s 3s] [Th]
*** SHOW DOWN ***siberianex: shows [6h Jh] (a pair of Sixes)
ekimador: shows [7h 4s] (two pair, Sevens and Fours) He flopped 2 pair again.
ekimador collected 4520 from pot

Again, I should have raised pre-flop and take this down.

2nd Sit N Go

Key hand number one:
Blinds 15/30 still 9 left, I have 1530 in chips.
I get Td Th UTG and raise it to 90 only the person directly to my left calls.

*** FLOP *** [Jc 4d 2h]
I bet 1/2 pot (90) he just smooth calls still, I am thinking he must have a smaller pair because there are really no draws out there and he did not raise if he had a Jack.
*** TURN *** [Jc 4d 2h] [7h]
Still a decent card for me, so I throw in another 1/2 pot bet of 180.
He smooth calls again, now I pretty certain I am still good. Lets see what the river brings.
*** RIVER *** [Jc 4d 2h 7h] [Ac]
Not the worst card in the world, but who knows.
I decide to check to see what he would do.
He puts in a bet of 210, there is now 750 in the pot and it will cost me 210 to call (3.5) odds.

I have to call this just for information purposes.
DLtheFirst: shows [Ad 8c] (a pair of Aces) WOW, he called all the way down with a naked Ace
siberianex: mucks hand
DLtheFirst collected 1185 from pot

I was 2.5/1 favorite pre-flop
I was 6/1 favorite after the flop
I was 13.66/1 favorite after the turn.

I know this guy is bad and will be out pretty soon.
Sure enough, about 6 hands later, he just did not want to release his monster AQo when a guy moved in on him. He lost to JJ and was left with 300 in chips and out the very next hand.

I win a pretty decent pot of 1840 when I move all in with 9d 9s with blinds of 50/100 and get called by Kh Ts.
Board was [Ac 5h As 9c] [4s]

2 hands later, I started to steal blinds with: K5o, KQo, KJo.

I now have 2615, still 6 left, blinds 75/150
I get dealt KK (which I hate) so I am happy and also somewhat scared.
All fold to me and I just make it 300 to go (2X BB) to induce action.
I get 2 callers both in the blinds.
*** FLOP *** [5s 4c 5c]
SB Checks and the BB moves all in for 1020.
I of course call, the SB fold.
Showdown: He shows Ac 3d

He does not hit his gutshot and I win a 2940 pot.

Another Key hand:
5 left, blinds 75/150 and next hand will be 100/200 I have 3635.
I have Ad Ks and make it 450 to go. Player to my left goes all in for 1460 more.
So there is now 2510 including the BB. It cost me 1460 to call, so I am getting 1.71/1 on my money. Unless he has AA or KK, im getting the right price. I call and he flips over Ac Ts and im really happy.

*** FLOP *** [Jd 5s Jc] Good flop for me
*** TURN *** [Jd 5s Jc] [Td] 3 outer gets there. I still have outs though.
*** RIVER *** [Jd 5s Jc Td] [4c] Blank

Pre-flop: 3.03/1 favorite
Flop: 6.28/1 favorite

This just put me on tilt which is rare for me and I bluffed off the remaining 1725 in the next 3 hands.
Even though the beat was bad, I was still in OK shape with blinds only at 100/200. Need to be more disciplined in these situations.

I should have probably quit after this one, but I played another one and obviously was not in a condition to play as I went out in 7th.

Live and learn!
