A positive day

I played three $11 SNG's yesterday. Out of the money on the first one. Second in the second one and Winner Winner Chicken Dinner in the third one. That allowed me to post a modest $55 gain for the day. In the one I won, I was down to 700 in chips after the third hand when my AK got run down by a set with after K on the flop. Somehow I managed to hang around and come back to win. I put three bad beats on my opponent after it got to heads up. The one most notable was when I was all in with Q-5 and he calls with AK. The 5 hit the river and I doubled up. Ive suffered my share of bad beats so I didn't feel too sorry for the guy.

This morning I played .25 NL for about 5o minutes and made $6. The only really memorable hand I played was one that I lost. I picked up KK in early position and raised to $3. I got one caller. An A came on the flop. I bet out $3 and he called. Now I'm figuring he has the A and I need to be careful. There was no help on the river so I checked. He bet and I folded. I'm getting to the point where I can make those laydowns and be ok.
