Sign your pitty o the runny kine ftw!
My AC went out on Wednesday, so I haven't played a whole lot until tonight.My wife went to stay wit her mom  so I was able to completely focus. I feel like I'm doing a better job of focusing anyway now that I've reduced the # of tables I play. Before, I was really pressing because I felt like I HAD to make money so I'd load up more tables thinking I was bound to win something...lol...I guess that's how I was tilting.
Anyway, I felt like I played terrific tonight. Even early in the session when I busted out of the first 5 or 6, I felt like I was pushing in the right spots. Â I finished the night +$600ish. I wanted to quit @ like 1AM,
but the games were so juicy.I put that in bold because I don't think I've ever  played at a level where I felt I HAD to  stay because I was so much better than the opponents out there. It's pretty awesome.Â
I played this hand in one of my last SnGs. Â I felt like, given my stack size and the BTN min-bet, shoving is pretty standard because they should fold most of the time. After the hand she typed "Nice Shove." I never chat, but I almost told her how awesome I thought her min-bet/call shove from the BTN was but then I was like..."Naw. Walk the path of Pootie Tang.
Pootie Tang was too cool for words.ÂSign your pitty o the runny kine ftw!  Â

ya think so? I also posted it in the forum. I just think villain is risking a ton of tournament equity at a crucial spot in the tourney. I was thinking the min bet indicates a trap wit AA/KK sometimes, but mostly indicates an attempt to steal but an ontent to fold to aggression....i have some more of these to post...i want to be the resident expert at shoving over weakness :)
