First 180 person 20+2 Sit ‘N’ Go

Now that the bankroll is increasing at a nice rate I’ve started to play 180 person Sit ‘n’ Go’s (20+2 buy-in). This weekend I played in two finishing 15th in one and tilting and busting out early on the other. I didn’t find the style of play that much different from the small 1-2 table Sit ‘n’ Go’s that I usually play. Players were very aggressive and willing to bluff more frequently. I guess you need to so that you can accumulate a stack to collect chips. I played pretty tight for the first while trying to get reads on the table that I was at. The first big hand that I had I got sucked out but due to the fact that there were three of us in the post I was still able to almost double up.

(Put him on a AJ, KJ, QJ, you never really know what people have especially this early in the tournament. Pretty weak bet, and I’m drawing to the NUTS so I thought CALL.)

(OUCH….ZINGER…pocket Duces hehehhe is all I can do)

After that hand I played pretty standard. Raising with premium hands using position to bully smaller stacks. There’s about 80 people left when I hit a monster hand and my opponent can’t let go of his over pair.

Cru sin along now pretty comfortable, when I run into some kings that get cracked in a serious manner. Take a look!

That hand kind of got me a little on tilt, but I managed to keep it together. Playing a little more risky now raising with Ax quite a bit stealing though and folding to any resistance. I need to steal blinds to maintain. Then I end my life on a mediocre hand not giving respect to a pre flop raise. Thinking QJ it’s a good flop hand, but if I’m not helped on the board I’m finished. The blinds will still relatively low and this was not needed. Ah well lesson learned.

(That’s a pretty ballsy call though. A10 not a very strong hand and I would fold to an all-in.)

15th doubled my money. Great what a way to spend 3 hours...
