Had an amazing run of cards in a SNG.
Already had a good table image and was playing tight and letting players donate chips to me.
Then a really bad thing happened.. Got AK, QQ, KK, AA, AA and AA!!!
It destroyed me!!!
Virtually every time I raised .. everyone folded but 1 caller (not the same guy) and when I bet out (small) post flop he would fold.
So I gained very little from this.
But on my 6th and final hand (AA) I had a reraise... I went over the top and all in {at last Im going to get some value}
Got called by.. wait for it.... 89s
and he made trip 9's by the river!!!!
I swear the only reason he called me was that my run of good luck looked like I was bluffing!!!
So the stratagy here is... be careful of how often you win and if its more than 'the norm'... show them your good cards!!
