February 12, 2008

A pretty uneventful night on the poker scene. I played in two sit-and-go's at Full Tilt. One was a No Limit Hold'em table with 9 players, the other, an 8 person H.O.R.S.E. match up.

I earned 3rd place in the NLHE SnG. My bust out hand was Kings (mine) versus 72. To be fair I limped in to try to get either of my two remaining overly aggressive opponents to bite and push hard. The flop was unkind and I pushed. Sometimes plays like that work, sometimes they don't.

The H.O.R.S.E. event was much longer, as always considering it is limit and some hands take much more time to play out. We got to three handed play after an hour. I ended up getting 2nd place overall in this Sit and Go. There were a few marginal hands I could have played but overall I was happy with how I played. I was fortunate that a lot of my opponents let me draw to my hand cheaply.
