I played a few low NLHE SNG's tonight and played fairly well. No Donks hands which result in a win on this one. In my other post I typed that I can't complain about bad beats anymore and I had one in tis game. The Table was very loose in the beginning and I had yet to raise a hand. After the 22nd hand is dealt I look down ( well really to my left on the monitor) and see AsAc. Maybe I'll get some chips with it, we'll see. Here's what happened:

Unbelievable but I can't whine or complain, it's poker (man do I hate that saying). Oh well now I'm in the push mode all
120 
, Yay!!!
Two hands later I'm dealt TcTh, PUshhhhhhhhh! Two callers and it holds up.
385 Chips, here we go!
Four hands later dealt Ac Qs, Pusshhhhhhh! One caller (Q/J), it holds chip count is up to
845. Getting there.
Another four more hands and dealt Ad Qh again, Pushhhhh! One caller A/J, my hand holds, I'm now back in the game with
1715 chips.
Now I can play some poker.
Staying alive and later push Jacks vs Tens and it holds. Now there's just 4 of us left and it was position poker. The four of us are playing well and there are two extremely tight players, one LAG and me (TAG). The chip stacks are fluctuating a little bit but I'm hanging with the pack. Mr. Lag dumps off half his stack to me at one point but through his aggressive play, steals it back from the two mice. I eventually break him when I push
A/
7h's vs his K/Qh's and it holds. Two hands later he pushes A/8 vs my A/K and it holds.
Now I'm in the money (micro $$$). Knock out another player with this hand:

***Should I have pushed, folded or called like I did preflop, when I raised and he reraised me? ***
Well I survived the hand and now it's on to my nemesis (Troy0038) whose 9's crushed my Aces. I have a dominant chip lead 10935 vs 2565 and it's over in 5 hands when my AQ held up against his KJ. Redemption! Sorry about the brag post but this is one of my best comebacks ever. I had one close to this but I came in third in that game. Like the other post, the poker gods are looking out for me. ***further note: I wanted to play in the losers game tonight but I had plans that later fell through. Maybe someday I'll donate to the cause. Irish
- but next time I decide to play it'd probably be better in your hands. You're getting the luck, and when you combine that with skill, it's deadly!
