Last SNG of 2005
We had some family and friends coming over for the evening, so i decided to play one last SNG for 2005. This was the highest buy-in SNG i had ever played, and celebrating that the new year was on the way, convinced me to do it. I have played some $50 sngs with little success, so not sure why i decided to move up.
I was either 1st or 2nd in chips almost wire to wire ... until an interesting three hand sequence once in the money ... Where i lost back-to-back race situations to the 2 short stacks who called themselves allin and then proceeded on the very next hand to draw out (my first time even all-in, or close to it the whole tourney) ... with an underpair against the chip leader (when i made a flush with 4 on the board). By the end of those three hands i had total control back and just abused everyone, who was trying to move up a single spot.
Another satisfying thing (not usually part of my style of play ... which is more chopping at pots) ... i personally busted i believe 9 players along the way
