Hi all,
I was updating this on my blog, but figured it was super boring, so moving it here
After getting the 50$ starting money, I began playing a small positive/breakeven game at $0.2 sng's at poker770 (after about 150 games), but figured I was learning nothing at the level. Besides it was poor BRM, with 200 BI's.
Hence over the weekend, decided to play a few dozen $0.5 sng's, And the going is not great right now, so decided to come here.
At 14 games since the start of my run, i have been ITM 3 times, and am facing a new downswing of 8BI's. I know this is not as bad as it gets, but I would defi want to plug any and every leak you people can find!
Todays 5 sng run: 1 third place, rest not ITM
Table 1: 3rd place final hand:
Preflop: Hero is BB with K :spade:, Q 
BU folds,
SB raises 150 to 300,
Hero raises 4142 to 4442 ( (AI)), SB calls
Flop: (8885) 4 :club:, 2 :spade:, 2 4 
5 
Final Pot: 8885
SB shows (A :spade:, A :club:)
Poor push? His min raise looked weak.. Probably should have 3 bet and folded to a shove.
Table2: Early double up followed by lots of folding. Then 1 very poor play:
Preflop: Hero is CO with K :diamond:, 4
3 fold,

After this went all in with A5 against short stack push, who sucked out with 89 :heart:. Left me really shortstacked, and possibly tilting. Pushed K2o with 4BB's and lost.
