5.50 Buyin
6d6s in 2nd pos. Hank limps and I raise to 120. Hank and Frankie call. It comes Jd 7d Kc Ad 3d. They keep checking to me so I just check and take the free cards until I get my flush.
Wow. Six hands in and nobody's out. Well, okay Barry busts out on the seventh hand, but he and Frankie both had good hands. (Top pair and a straight draw vs a set). These $5.50 sit and goes are like a completely different game.
Alice limps in from UTG and I call with 5h2h and flop bottom pair. I call the pot. Hank bets the pot again on the turn though and I bail.
Frankie kills again, felting Alice and taking the chip lead.
KK on the button. I bet 3x (150) when it's checked to me. Charlie calls from the small blind and makes a small bet on the flop. I raise and he folds.
Hah. My 3 9 would have made a full house there. Oh well.
My 55 got counterfitted with to pairs on board. He had a pair of queens anyway.
And astonishingly, nobody's gotten crazy and I'm still in the game in decent shape. 3rd of 7 with 1365.
Heh. Gretchen takes down a small pot with bluff and shows 72o.
Hank flops a straight and takes down half of Frankie's stack.
Then Frankie shoves on the next hand with nothing and Dave takes him out with AJ.
I make kind of a loose call with 7J. Flop middle pair with the 7 and turn comes a jack.
A4c and the flop comes two clubs. I'm tempted to call with my flush draw when the board pairs and Hank bets the pot on the turn, but I'll wait for a better spot. I might have raised if his stack weren't so huge.
QQ and I bet 420 from the cutoff. Mostly because Hank made that bet a couple times in a row. But he'd already folded this time.
As Ts on the BB. I call 420. Flop comes 3 diamonds and an ace. I check. He's all in and I fold.
QQ again. Gretchen's all in before the flop and has me slightly covered. Well, here goes. Hah. Sixes. But the flop comes a six and I'm out.

I suppose if I'd played a little bit tighter early on, I might have had Gretchen covered there. And I could have folded in the interest of survival. After all, she might have had Aces or Kings for all I knew.
