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 , Q
BU folds,
SB raises 150 to 300,
Hero raises 4142 to 4442 ( (AI)), SB calls
Flop: (8885) 4 , 2 , 2 4 5
Final Pot: 8885
SB shows (A , 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 , 4
3 fold,
Hero raises 150 to 300, 2 fold, BB calls
Flop: (675) Q , 6 , 3 (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero checks
Turn: (675) T (2 Players)
BB bets 150,
Hero raises 150 to 300, BB calls
River: (1275) 6 (2 Players)
BB bets 150, Hero calls
Final Pot: 1575
Hero shows a pair of sixes (K , 4 :spade → (6 , 6 , Q , T , K :diamond
BB shows two pairs, tens and sixes (A , T :diamond → (T , T , 6 , 6 , A :club

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