Just played a sitngo at
Poker Time (trying to get the points up) and unbelievably I actually won.
I was dumping everything that was rubbish and chucking even the "reasonable" hands. One person had virtually posted and folded the whole game to ensure a paying position. I knocked one out and someone else knocked another one out which left 3 of us - the bluffer - the poster and folder and me.
They both kept stealing my blinds and I was just waiting for the right hand to come along. And boy did it come along.
I had pocket Q's. Bluffer raises and poster/folder guy and myself just flat call. Flop comes 592. I was first to act so I bet over the pot and the bluffer calls me. Next card is a J so I though I would just go all in as there was the makings of a straight on the table. Bluffer calls me and shows JA. River helps neither of us and I win the hand which was a nice stack builder and leaving the bluffer with not too many chips.
Bluffer continues to steal blinds and betting ridiculously trying to build his stack back up. I think he was down to about 700 and he got it up to about 1500 or thereabouts.
The game goes on and sweet joy - pocket AA for me.
I was the big blind too which is a marvellous position to be in - bluffer min raises, "post and folder" calls so I raised 4xBB which made it 750/800 or thereabouts. Bluffer calls and the other guy folds.
Flop comes down 792. I went all in. Bluffer calls. There was me thinking he would have 79 off or something stupid. He had 44. Neither the turn nor the river were of any use to him and he was out.
So this just left me and the poster/folder who was no longer posting and folding. He kept going all in every hand to steal the blinds from me and I just bided my time.
I played a couple of hands and won them and won back the chip leadership.
Im big blind and I have pocket 5s. Other guy goes all in so I just called. He showed A9 suited (diamonds).
Flop comes down 442 (two were diamonds) giving him the flush draw. I thought, here we go again. Turn is a 3. I thought please dont give me my 5 and no diamonds please. Fortunately for me it was an 8 or something like that.
I won the game and a few bucks so I can play a few more.
It was all the more satisfying because my luck on that fishy site has been totally dire.
I'll see how it goes from here.
