Strange Sit n Go result

So I’m playing a few cash tables last night waiting for Tarz to get home from her dinner. I was up about $20 USD after about 90 mins playing two $0.05/0.10 tables. Just for something added, I bought into a single table Sit n Go ($1 buy in).

No sooner than I had been seated, my phone rang and it was Tarz announcing she would be home in a few mins. Seeing as I had been playing for a while I thought I’d just donk off my chips in the Sit n Go until she got home and then finish up.

So I start out making ridiculous bets and taking down some pots. I call a few huge bets with nothing and suck out and win a few more hands. I’m playing so purposely badly that when Tarz gets home I’m the short stack of the 8 remaining players. To try and end it I start a mission of all in bets. I win a few pots by the table folding, a few by having the best hand and a few by sucking out. I’m sure my table image was shot to pieces as I would have just come across as a maniac who has no idea.

But……after a while it was down to three and I was the chip leader – I play for freaking sixind levels like a fool and come out chip leader and in the money already – go figure.

The next 10 or 12 hands were pretty much uneventful as the blinds just moved around between us.

The following two hands ended the tournament.

I think I played the first one badly but got lucky and I like how I played the 2nd to win it all!!!! (well $4.50)
