The other night I decided to play a 90 seat sng over at Full Tilt. It was only a $3+30 buy-in but the play was unbelievable. In all honesty the 50 cent sngs at Vegas 24/7 are tighter games than this was. First hand 3 players are all-in, 10-10, 9-9 and A-J. A jack flops but a 9 hits the turn and triples the player up to over 9,000 chips. Now you`d think a healthy start like that would see a player deep into the tourney wouldn`t you? Well not this particular player, by hand number 27 she`d lost the lot!
I actually started off pretty well with AA a couple of times and it won both times. I was cruising along pretty nicely not playing anything stupid when I looked down at KK. UTG and UTG+1 both limp in and from middle position I raise it up to five or six times the BB. All fold round to UTG+1 who calls off a third of his stack. The flop looks perfect for me 10 high and he pushes his remaining chips in. I`m doing my online equivalent of Phil Helmuth, I can`t wait to hit call. He has Q-10 and of course turns another 10. I`m so amazed I can`t even be angry. I was actually laughing because I hadn`t played a hand for at least a couple of circuits and this idiot calls me for a third of his chips with trash like that.
Unfortunately I had to watch as he went on to accumulate more and more chips whilst my stack steadily dwindled away. I kept a close eye on the numbers and after 57 hands we`d lost 65 players. It just amazes me how quickly people lose chips. I mean this was a double-stacked game with reasonable levels.
My own demise came when very short-stacked I pushed in with QQ from early position. I had two callers, one of them Mr Q-10 himself. The flop came A-6-K and I was pretty resigned to losing. The first caller checked and then folded when Mr Q-10 bet out. He showed 66 for a flopped set. I`d like to attack his play but I suppose given the amount of chips he had he was sort of priced in. Anyway no help for me and I exited in 19th place. Sad as it may be I really wish someone else had knocked me out. Giving my last few chips to that muppet was the only thing that stung about losing.
Anyway I`ll finish this post as I started it . . .
