irritating SnG

I've been playing 1 or 2 SnGs per night just for fun to get sharkscoped with good results in case any newbies wants some coaching. Up to 33% ROI this month! haha! They are just $5.50s though.

Anyway, I thought I'd put this one in the replayer for entertainment purposes. The tourney gets to 4 handed at hand 50. As you can see, my play is not optimal. This is because the big stack is between me and the short stacks. The big stack defends against me trying to raise the shortstacks and then he limp/folds to them himself feeding their stacks, unless I'm the BB then he raises. It was one of the most annoying SnGs I've ever played.

So, this is why you see me make some of the decisions I do, like check fold AT. I was trying to figure out how to play in this situation on the fly. I was taken completely out of my game. I decided to just stay away from confronting the guy until someone bubbled out, and then I attacked the fucker. For a while I was completely convinced that the big stack knew at least one of the shortstacks (or was multi-accounting) and was protecting it. However, at the end it seems as though he simply a dumbass so I figured that this had some entertainment value if you guys are bored. And the end, after being so frustrated, it was rather funny to see villain berate my play and call me the luckiest donkey.

Oh, and one other strange thing I did... call an all in with 88 early on... I couldn't sleep so I fired up the SnG at 2AM, then decided I could sleep so I went all in, :P Lucky for me that villain wanted to go to sleep just a little more.

Anyway, enjoy the very strange play.

52% ROI lol.... villains comment today, who played the whole SnG over 40% VP, when I busted him in 3rd..... "Nice hand but you hate to see a flop" LOL why would I play Q6 when you're going to pay me off 100% as soon as I get a premium.
