Full Tilt Doesn't Make It Easy

I played several Sit and Go's tonight and my evening started off being very rough. It seemed to be like a continuation from the previous day and by bankroll was taking another significant hit, but then, when all seemed to be lost, I picked up the chip-lead in two different SnG's at the same time.

Moving back and forth during a see-saw battle I was able to earn the runner-up spot in both matches. These cashes pushed my bankroll and evening into a profitable one. I still saw plenty of bad luck (for me) or good luck (for them), however you want to look at it. I found it tough because it seemed like when I was aggressive, I trapped myself with powerful hands. On the flip side, when I was being passive the hands never seemed to break my way.

When all was said and done things went ok. It's important to look at how hands and tournaments are played and in the long run the results will speak for themselves. It's tough when you put the money in as a favorite and then see the pot get pushed to your opponent. The main thing is to stay focused and continue to try to keep your composure as you push on. Time will reward strong play.
