Ok, I've been away for a while, just started playing again the other day. Well, I pumped in 150 at FT, where I proceeded to lose 100 within like 6 hours. I noticed a major, and I mean major, flaw in the way I was playing. In the next 24 hours, I worked it back up to 190
Today I decided to play a sng, having won one last night right before bed, and being knocked out of the previous one on a severe bad beat. In the sng I had no hands at all until it was down to 4. Just folded until then. In a 10 hand span, I had 22 44 66 99 2x and KK 2x Just an unbelievable stretch. I worked my way from the cellar to the top real quick. Then we were down to two, and I had a good lead. Well, I got dealt QQ, and I bet a small bet, it was a very tight game btw. he called. The flop came something like 2 7 J rainbow. He bet a good sized bet, and I raised, and he went all in over the top. Well, I called, and he turned over J8s. Hit an 8 on the river, and put me down considerably. We took turns folding, and eventually I got 44. I needed to make a move, so I ended up going all in over the top preflop, and was called w/ 33, and they held. It continued to be tight, and even, until I was dealt this hand. I ended up winning the hand, but as I'm trying to fine tune my game again, I was wondering what you all think. Was it just the continuation of my hot streak over the last day and a half? Or did I make the right move. Keep in mind, my purpose in this hand in the first place was to maintain my strength and image. After investing that much in the pot in a really tight game, I was afraid that blowing my image, and a good chunk of my chips could be lethal. So let me know your opinions of this hand:
