Well, I got in a handfull of SNGs yesterday, and things remained pretty precarious in the beginning. In fact, I was in my "last" SNG, w/the remaining bankroll under $2.20. But the drama pretty much ends there, as I sat down at a .10/.20 limit table and turned my $1.70 into $2.30, not dooming me quite yet. I also won the SNG. It took a big suckout to do it, but for some reason I knew I was beat after the flop and just couldn't let the hand go. I then proceeded to make a bigger 2 pair on the turn and triple up, cruising to the win after that. Which was a huge monkey off my back, because even when I was managing to cash, I could not freegging WIN. After getting that bankroll back to back over $12, I took a break to work out, and when the wife said she still wouldn't be home for a while, I cracked a couple beers and had another go at it. I played 3 more SNGs, made a HUGE misread in one for all my chips, and cashed in both the others (3rd & 2nd). By the 2nd one I was getting buzzed, having a good time, and cracking up the table. It was a blast. The thing ended up possibly being the longest SNG I've played on the site, as we played several hands at 500/1000.
Final result, a bankroll over $17 (at least 8 more SNG's worth), and the REAL good news is that the cards started to circle back to normal a little bit. I was making some hands and having them hold up, so it was very encouraging, and good to have fun playing poker again.
I couldn't ask for much more going into the holiday.
And speaking of that, I'm probably already too late, but hope everyone has a great one. We're headed for my folks (only a half hour away) for the day, and expecting gorgeous 60 degree temps, which is ridiculous for November in Iowa. So we'll mix a little HD football in with some real football and other fun and games I'm sure.
For all you traveling, travel safe, and as always, good luck on the felt!
