In this hand, blinds are 125/250 with 25 ante.  I’m in middle position with 27 offsuit (considered the worst starting hand in Holdem) and decide to raise to 900 for kicks.  Everyone folds to the small blind who goes all in.  The big blind folds and I call.

I registered for the $4.40 180-player Sit-N-Go on Stars tonight. I had a few ups and downs and managed to survive a few all-in moments. A couple of hours later, I find myself at the final table. Then with the chip lead. I figured a screenshot is in order:

UPDATE: I just finished in 6th for a $36 payout.  The turning point had buddy on my right go all in.  I have him covered but calling and losing leaves me with only $9000 of my $40,000 or so chips.  He’s been playing  a bit loose all throughout the final table and when I look down at QQ, I decide to call.  He turns over AcKc and we’re off to the races.  The flops comes 3 clubs and I’m practically beat.  I needed the board to pair and also hit my set but it didn’t happen.  It was downhill from there.  Luckily, another player busted in 7th just before I busted in 6th.  Overall not a bad night.
