9/16/08   Tourney  #1   Placed: 3rd   WON $ 9.00

ALL-IN on medium pairs..bluffed a few times on button later in tourney.

Patient early..I got some decent cards in this tourney..made some good
decisions..I went in BEHIND only once KQo vs A6o..caught a Q on turn..
that hand made me chip leader going in 4 handed..I was able to bully
short stacks a little more.

Ok..this tourney had a little bit of everything..started tight..I tried to
"make" a few things happen but had calling station to my left..went
back to tight patient style..down to around 1200 chips on BB..blinds
at 40/80..guy utg raises to 240 one other guy calls so I call 160 w/89s..
flop is all low with 2 of my suit so I push hoping noone had high pair..
Initial raiser had QQ other guy folds..I catch heart on turn..and double.
Then I just play tight until 4 handed..remaining players are tight so I
steal a few pots..three handed I continue stealing until I knock out 3
guy..heads up I'm a little more aggress than other player..last hand I
get 44 on button I raise #2 calls.. flop is 2/2/10..I push all in thinking
I had best hand..Which is a stupid play (I could get the same info with
a MUCH smaller bet)..anyway I hit 4 on river..VERY lucky.

wow..on a heater..this tourney was the most difficult..could not bluff as
much..except for 3 handed..I'm most proud of my 3 handed play..played
tuff but smart..after I got my stack even with others I wanted to win it.
mostly proud of heads-up play..Guy had 5:1 chip lead on me..just didn't
want to give up..I suspect he got tired which is good for me..I figure if
I can get to 3 handed..I want to win it.

It's nights like these I hate..take the lead at 5000 with 7 players remaining
get AA and raise 4x BB some fool called "wreefer" calls me with 9/10 and
flops the str8..after some time away form this post, I realize that I mis-
played this hand..he leads out 3/4 of pot on flop and I shove ALL-IN which
was a HUGE error..I should've bet 2x his initial bet and if he reraises or
even calls, realize I'm in trouble and lay it down..at this point in tourney
I would still have plenty of chips..I get it back to 1800 and make what I
consider to be another mistake by calling a 200 chip raise on button with
10/7o ( I know this doesn't seem like a blunder but in sitngo I don't need
to get involved in uneccessary hands this early)..I flop 2 pair and other
guy leads with a bet around the size of pot and I reshove ALL-IN..He flops
higher 2 pair..I go out 5th..sitngo's are a game of patience early.

Play tight down to 1100 ALL-IN with QQ guy calls with 9/10..he hits 2 pair.

Made a bad call early to a guy with AK..I had KQ..870 left..might have moved to early but shoved vs guy with AK..called it right..river was an A.
