SnG Beginner Fun

[finegrinder]

Feeling a little bored today I decide to see what these single-table tournaments are and proceed to play a bunch of micros...

The LOLest hand:

First hand of the tournament. I open on the button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Dude in the blinds calls.

Flop: [ K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] x[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ]

We get all in on the flop. Dude shows K3 offsuit

"Great! Nut flush, against top pair, zero kicker. I'm going to get a big chip lead early and run over the table!"

Turn : [ 6 ]

River: [ 6 ]

LOL

Some preflop "races":

AQ < AT

AT < A3

AK < K6

I bought in by accident in a PLO SnG *TWICE* [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] .

"WTF so many cards. What to do. I haven't a clue!"

First time I bust out quite early.

Second time I decide the best course of action is to bet and raise the pot like a maniac at every opportunity. I finished 3rd ... LOL.

Back to NL, I pushed and ran into AA preflop THREE TIMES. No luck each time. Feel like getting medieval on all those whiners who say that Aces always get cracked.

Variance: with all this gaiety I'm still up $20 for the day in SnGs, counting the two PLOLAMENTS.

Are these $1, $2 or $5? With the $20 profit it sounds like 2s/5s?

About 25 ultra-turbo SnGs total, a couple $5.50s and the rest $2.75s

I figured. What site has $2.75 SnGs. I only play on UB so I have no idea. $20 is somehwta easy with these at $5 at $100 it's only a couple bucks at a time if that. It is real hard playing only $5s/$10s and dropping down to $1s, But I did what I had to I guess.
