Only One Game

I played one SNG last night when I got in. It was $4.50+50 qualifier to a $30+3 tournament. I finished second and there was really only one memorable hand and it happens to be the last one. When I get to heads up, I've got about 6,500 chips. The other guy has about 8,500. The first hand of heads up action I go all in with J-8 of spades. The guy insta calls with J-8 of diamonds. There were three diamonds in the first four cards. GG me.

I've been reading a blog by a guy named Don http://doublemeup.blogspot.com/ who claims to be the most unlucky person on the face of the earth. I can't imagine that he is any more unlucky than I am as I never win a race and continually get sucked out on. I realize that one of the reasons I suffer a lot of bad beats is that I rarely get my money involved unless I have a pretty good hand. I know I play a TAG style. People who play a LAG are more likely to get their money in with a weaker hand and suck out.

I'm remembering an interview I saw with Troy Aikmen where he was questioned about his very few fourth quarter comebacks in comparison to John Elway, Joe Montana and Dan Marino. His response was "When it got to the fourth quarter, we were rarely behind." The reason I don't suck out on people very often is that I'm not behind preflop very often. Oh well. Enough of the bad luck. I just try to keep getting my money in with the best hand and hope for the best.
