2 SNGs & a Little Limit

I played two more SNGs on Royal Vegas last night. I had a 2nd place finish, then I busted out in 8th early in the second tournament. Going in, I decided that I would play regular poker during the first few levels and then play the Kill Phil in the later stages.

During the second level with 780 chips left, I was dealt 98s in the BB and checked after the chip leader and the button limped in. The flop was 957, and I pushed in 50 chips. Only the chip leader called me. The turn was another 5 and I bet 140 chips and was again called by the chip leader. I checked the river after another 5 and the chip leader raised me all-in. I seriously consider folding my had, because I didn't think it was strong enough. I called and found my opponent had K7o and I was now the chip leader.

I folded the rest of my hands until there were 5 other player left and the blinds got up to 160/320. I was dealt a pair of nines with about 1500 chips left. I raised to 480 from early position and the button pushed his remaining 980 chip in. I called and he show A8s and I won the hand and took the chip lead again.

From then I used the Kill Phil strategy and pushed when I got the cards. With 3 other players left, I pushed ATo against a pair of eights and won the pot when an ace flopped. Two hands later I pushed with 88 from early position and stole the blinds. I took the chip lead again when I pushed with TT from the SB and the BB folded. Another player was eliminated when I pushed with QQ and was called by AQs.

When we got down to heads up I moved all-in with every hand and won most of the match ups. Then I lost the chip lead after being dealt J7o vs. KTo. I took the lead on the flop when a seven came, but a king fell on the river. The tournament finally ended after I was dealt Q7s and my opponent called with K7s.

This was the hand that busted me out in 8th place in the second tournament. I was totally pwned on this hand. After doing some more reading, I realized I should have just folded this hand pre-flop and waited for something else.

I then played about 20 hands of .05/.10 limit and lost $0.44. The table was full for about half of the hands and then quickly became short-handed and I played too many hands and lost.
