First SNG: Finished 5th. I never got much going on with this one, which happens from time to time. A couple of early moves I tried to make got shot down by proper-handed people (although at least I got away from my moves this time) leaving me with about 1150. I sat and waited for good cards (most of this time, the table was too long for me to want to get clever) and ended up pushing with 99 with about 900 over a raise to 180. Guy calls, flips Queens, flops a set and it's all over bar the crying.
Second SNG: My creativity paid off more on this table. With 7 left I had around 8K in front of me, but I lost a big all-in with KK vs. AQ that dropped me to 5K. The new chip leader became very aggressive and I was content to now wait for the big hands (especially as, with 6 left, we were in the period where I feel the SNG tilts and it's all very up in the air, especially for a middle stack). We reached the crapshoot stage with five of us left, blinds at 200/400. I held a small chip lead with just over 5K, but really I wanted to just hang on over the bubble (especially when the fifth place guy crashed out quickly). I bubbled in the end, leaving me with no cash in the account at all. Boo!
I need to come up with a new plan.
