I’ve been pretty busy the last couple of weeks which means that I haven’t seen much poker action. Other than the tournament last week I haven’t played for about two full weeks. That dry spell ended last night when I finally sat down and played some SNGs. The first one I just couldn’t get a hand. If I got even part of a hand it wouldn’t hold up and I went out in 9th place. I was feeling a little disappointed in my results so I signed up for another SNG and I got some cards. I was playing a little weak though and I noticed myself backing off the wrong pots and going too strong on the hands I should have laid down. It wasn’t a total disaster though and I went out in 5th place. The refreshing part was that I felt I could have made it into the money except for a couple of bad plays that I knew were bad plays the second I clicked the mouse. Now I was starting to have some fun and I was getting a little more into my game so I played a third SNG and took first place.
Two interesting hands happened on the last SNG. Both times I had the nuts. First hand I had the nut boat and the second hand was the nut straight. Both hands turned into monster pots and when I came out betting on the river and I was raised I was a little confused so I re-raised back and got re-raised again. We went back and forth a few times before someone finally called and we both turned up the same exact hands.
