Hand #5850319-3271 Summary:

$.45 is raked from a pot of $9.35.
STeelerJosh wins $8.90 with two pair, aces and tens.

This felt good because it was close on the heels of a bad beat that took me out of a 5 + .50 SNG.

I was dealt 44 in the BB, flop came 4Qx and I jam all in. Two callers! One has Q9 and proceeds to catch runner runner 9 and take me out. -1 SNG for the month.

Sat right down at another.... played 4 hands in 65+ hands. Raises got a lot of respect, but I was card dead. Finally got KK in the BB. Shortest stack goes all in from the SB. I jam over top of him (+200 chips over short stack) and a big stack calls from MP. KK vs 66 vs 33 Guess who tripled? Not me. Big stack flopped a 6 and we were both out. I finished 5th and short stack 6th. Still fun....
