My first live blog

I am going to try to live blog a $4/180 SNG on Stars. Lets see how this works

6:17 - Waiting for people to sign up....

6:20 - Cards are in the air! I am seated in seat 4 and am UTG and fold A2o. That's just the way i roll

6:22 - 52 in the BB. No raise and a check my option. Flop comes with no help to me and I fold to an overbet by the SB

6:24 - K5 on the button? Not today my friend.

6:26 - Pick up QJ of diamonds two off the button and limp along with 5 others. Flop comes rags withone diamond and I fold to a pot sized bet. I am playing really tight right now.

6:28 - New table already! I have T1440

6:32 - No good hands yet...

6:34 - Can I just say that I love that you can re-size the Poker Stars windows now! Also you can pick different themes. I currently have the victorian saloon one or something like that.

6:37 - Blinds up. Still haven't picked up a real hand or won a pot. All part of my strategy....I think

6:39 - 33 in the SB. I complete and check after flop is TT9. I fold to a bet. I was considering leading out here but glad I didn't as the guy to my left ended up having a ten

6:42 - Limp with 66 and flop comes 532. Guy to my right bets and I raise and he calls. turn is a 9, he checks and i put him all-in and he folds. He only had T570 left. I am up to T1610

6:47 - some guy bet 15x BB preflop and no one called. Smart move....?

6:48 - What is with the huge overbets. This time it was 18X BB with AQ...and he got called by J7 and lost! 18x is sitting out now....awwwww

6:52 - 28 hands in and my best starting hand were the sixes. I will hit my rush later when it matters.

6:54 - blinds are up to 25/50 and I have T1550

6:56 - My M is about 20 so I am not freaking out yet.

6:58 - ATo in MP. Still pretty sure fold is the right play here after one player limped.

6:59 - Try to see a cheap flop with 8d9d. It does not happen...fold

7:03 - I raise on the button with A4 and both blinds call. Flop is K high but gives me a gutshot for the wheel. SB keeps min betting so I call both times and miss my draw. Why min bet there? Down to T1100

7:06 - Blinds up 50/100. I am in a little bit of troble here wiht an M of only 7 or so. Need to double soon.

7:08 - 88 players are left....make that 87

7:09 - I get a walk in the BB!

7:10 - push to a limper with AJo on the button and he folds. Next hand pick up 99 and raise to 300 and blinds fold. at least i am picking up some blinds now. Have T1450

7:12 - New table

7:13 - My Q is 0.4 (Can you tell I am reading Harrington?)

7:15 - fold 53o in SB after 4 players limp. Does anyone push here and hope that nobody calls? I thought not.

7:17 - there are some big stacks at my table...I am not one of them. Am at T1300

7:20 - I have AKo and push to his raise. He calls with AK of hearts. He picks up a flush draw on the turn but misses. phew!

7:21 - first break. I am at T1425. Time for laundry!

7:24 - Ok. Blinds are about to go to 75/150 and I have 1425 so my M is going to be a little over 6. My Q is a about 0.35 or something. Time to make a move or die trying....

7:31 - Just waiting for a hand now. I am not playing very agressive today, not sure why. Not good.

7:33 - there are a lot of limpers at my table. Waiting for that right hand to pounce on them.

7:37 - push with 88 UTG and get called by AA. Get a gutshot on the flop but the 7 or 8 fail to hit and I am out in 56th. Just not my night I guess.

7:39 - thanks to the few of you who checked out my site while I was playing. Just didn't get going tonight. Maybe this little live blog experiment hindered my play a little, but I don't think so. I just wasn't getting the cards and didn't adjust properly to some pretty passive play at my table. Until next time...
