So.. the trend continues of me being kicked out of a SnG when all the chips go in BEFORE the River AND I’m a HUGE favorite to win. I’ve upped the limits on my SnG to include the $30 and $50 buyins, because actual poker is played there. Nothing like the donktastic $20 and lower tables. I’ve played two $50 and one $30.. and here are my exits from all three, my holdings are in bold:

$50 #1: A7s vs 76o - Everything is in pre flop. I had an M of 6 with antes in play and the caller had me covered by $400. Turns a 6 and I’m busted.. out in 5th.
$30: AQ vs TT - Once again, everything in pre flop. TT had me covered by 1200. Flop is xQx. Turn is a T. Out in 5th.
$50 #2: Q♥Q♦ vs 2♠2♣ - SB vs BB. I was the SB and called.. he pushed and I insta-call. He has me covered by T$90. All heart flop. I thought to myself.. it would be funny to see the 2 of hearts.. I should learn to hold my tongue. 2♥ on the turn.. I have my flush. He gained 10 outs. Board pairs on the River. I take my exit in 6th.

I’ll give it one more try.. and if I lose when I’m ahead AGAIN, for four in a row, I’ll just stick to donkey poker and forget about learning to master this game and playing in this years WSOP. Time for some sleep… when I’m wide awake and on tilt.
