Doing better today.
I won my first two SNG tournaments, a 3-hand, won in 6 hands and about 2 minutes for a quick pick-me-up, and then a protracted 9-seat SNG in the Astral Ursa Minor circuit. I played well here, got beat on a few hands but nothing bothered me. I played somewhat cautiously, but was hitting flops and taking pots when I needed to, and didn’t feel like I was getting desperate to win a hand, although there was a point where I was in 7th place out of 7. The remarkable thing about this tournament was there was a high number of flushes made in the game, 8 or so altogether I think. Including two on the very first hand. I’ll have to go back and analyze my play to see what I did there, but I think the key hand was about at the midway point, when I happened to make a full house and take a huge pot, which put me into the chip lead and made me feel very comfortable.
First hand here if anyone would like to replay it: https://www.replaypoker.com/hand/replay/462507049
