Fading the outs

Kind of a crazy weekend pokerwise. I played a ton, seems like. Started off pretty badly, just back on the same kind of downswing that I've kinda been on. Then, took a flyer on a $20 SNG, and got ridiculously hit by the deck and won it. That turned a lot of stuff around. I should post some hands fromthat session.

What a big swing. If I had lost it, my BR would have been where it was like two months ago, and all the grinding in between would have been all for naught. Instead, I won it, and my BR is at a new high.

Cashed in the one-a-day freeroll for $2. I had a spot, where UTG min raised, the guy next to him shoves, I'm in mid pos with KK, and shove, and UTG calls and am up against AK and AA. Did not hit the one outer and was drawing dead by the turn. At least it's something.

I also made a deep run in the $1 tourney. Not a whole lot to report. Just had good hands hold, and was able to create big pots with them, either by limp/shoving or just getting RR with worse hands. Also didn't play junk and got away from AJ fairly easy. KK was my lucky hand in that one - double late with it a couple times.

I made a stupid semi-bluff play that cost me about a third of my stack when we got around two tables. I hit bottom pair with junk and tried to push my opponent off his hand, and couldn't. I had about 100k to start the hand, and was knocked down to 67k.

The for-all-intents-and-purposes bustout hand came when I had JTss OTB in an unraised pot. I had about 25k chips left, and shoved, and the BB called with 66. Would have been nice to take that, but I bricked, eventually taking 12th and $11. First was like 280, so that kind of sucked. The tourney field was about 1300 though, so it is an accomplishment of sorts I guess. Next time maybe.
