Razzle Dazzle

I was over at Vegas 24/7 today looking for a sng to kill some time in. I`d found a couple that looked interesting when it occured to me that I never look at the tournaments there. I don`t know why I`ve never looked, I think they have a great blinds structure. Anyway I spotted a $3 limit razz game and jumped into it.

I started off well then went pretty card dead for a while slipping from the top three downwards. I was patient though and waited for a decent starting hand. The big stack at the table was obviously not the greatest razz player judging by some of the hands he showed. Don`t get me wrong he was winning plenty but I knew he`d pay me off in due time. Well he did just that and I went from midfield to first place in one hand.

I stayed in either first or second for the majority of the rest of the tourney. The final table arrived and the eventual winner took a huge lead after eliminating a large stack. With four left I took out one in a close hand and he took out the other to leave us HU. We proceeded to exchange bring-ins for a while before both of us caught a hand worth betting on. That hand cost me 75% of my stack as he narrowly beat me and although I made a valient attempt to get back into the game his chip lead was too big and I was forced to settle for 2nd place. An enjoyable game though.
