OK, maybe I'm a newbie, but still...




....it felt good to rock this tourney. 90 man turbo double stack KO SNG...was bored, cash games were dead and couldn't sleep, so milled about looking for tourneys to waste some money on. This one was one of 2 that were filling up, so I registered for this and the $3+0.3 version (a not-so-surprising 67th in that one). This one was smooth sailing the whole way though; took the chiplead with KK over AK over QT and pretty much held it all the way to the end. Going into the FT, I had about 70k chips, only a few k more than the 2nd stack...but from there I knocked out 6 out of the 8 other players and just rolled over everyone. Heads-up has always been a weaker area of mine; plenty of times in SNGs I would be too agressive or not agressive enough and end up giving away 1st. This time, the guy was passive enough where it worked well....nothing fancy for a finish, just A8 over JT that held. Between the prize and the 11 KOs, a $240 return.....but more importantly, I feel good (despite not always playing optimally; I donked off some chips trying to bluff the 2nd stack when I should have learned a little quicker). Was a great feeling just destroying the table like that, and of course, it makes me want more...so perhaps I'll try to work a few more tourneys into the schedule. Nothing big of course; perhaps the SNGs are the right fit.
