Lucky, Lucky me (accidental sign up for a turbo SNG pays off)

[Silent A]

Ok, I had a $400 bankroll (withdrawl followed by bad side of variance) which I promised my wife I would never fund from outside. So this is my entire poker resource.

I decided to try a $15+1 turbo SNG at pokerstars that is about to fill up. I had the tables sorted by "enrolled" so only the nearly full tabes were near the top. I was also under the "turbo tab".

Anyway, long story short, the SNG I meant to register for fills up just as a $210+15 SNG moves into place and I end up registering at the last second for a SNG that cost half my roll.

Play is extremely tight and I'm getting nothing (bad cards and someone in EP/MP almost always raises before I get a chance to try my hand at blind stealing - The only exception: I get QQ on the button and no action). This goes on until hand 40 when this hand pops up:

Level V (75/150) - second hand at this level
Stacks range from 1175 (me) to 2415. All 9 players are still active.

UTG raises 1185 to 1335 and is all-in (second time in a row he did this, last time he won the blinds)
UTG+1 raises 500 to 1835 and is all-in
2 folds
MP calls 1185 and is all-in
4 folds

UTG shows Qc Qd
UTG+1 shows 8s 8d
MP shows Ah Ac

Board = 9d 6s 7d 3s 8h
UTG and MP are eliminated

2 hands later another player is eliminated and we're down to 6: 2 "big" stacks with 4000+ and 4 shorties with 1000 to 1500.

4 blind steals (including my BB and SB) before the shortest stack dies with A3 < 55 against one of the 4K stacks. Down to 5.

Then I double up with 77 > AQ aginst a big stack. (The only hand I win in the whole SNG, not counting a few steals and some passed blinds)

2 blind steals by short stack and then the other shorty dies with A7 < AQ. 4 left and I'm in a dead heat with the other shorty at 8 BB. I'm UTG, he's UTG+1. Big stacks have 20 and 30 BB.

UTG+1 tries to steal with K3o and gets snapped off by AT (K on flop A on river).

This all transpires over 13 hands in about 6 minutes.

Woo Hoo!

Sadly, I then get A2 in the BB, go all-in and get called by 87s. Flop comes 8x2 and i don't improve.

Third pays $378.
