I had a nice long post typed up, then my browser crashed. Pants.
Anyway, suffice to say that I played 2 SNGs this morning, and finished 2nd in them both. I got my money in with the goods 95% of the time and it held up. I did a bit of stealing, the odd bluff and plenty of value betting. Some good pushbotting towards the FT bubble, and I managed to come into the final 9 somewhere in the middle both times. From there, steady, careful play led me to 3 way. A couple of nice hands put me HU both times with a chip disadvantage...
The first HU finished when I bluffed my (chip lead) opponent, and he called me with a draw and an A. I didn't improve, so GG me. I'm happy with it though, I was a loose call from him on the end.
I almost took down the second one. Ended up with me as chip lead, and tricking my opponent into re-raising me all in preflop. I showed AQo, he showed KTo but the king on the river left me with peanuts and I was out shortly after. Luck can be so cruel - I'd held up so many hands like that, but the most important one died.
I was very happy with my play today, and it just goes to show that as long as my good hands hold up when I have to go to showdown, I kick ass. I'll be posting my stats at the end of the month, and I'm very happy with them for my first month of SNG bankroll building.
