One and done

One and done. Waffles blitzed me 2-0.

Short answer: I run bad, and Waffles did play well (and hit several draws). And there were two genuine coolers that I got hammered by.

Signs that you are in for a painful session:

First hand of a HU SnG, you get AQs on the button. And then this happens ...

I shake off that failed trap and manage to get a decent chiplead through a variety of good flops, aggressive play, and a couple of monster hands that saw very little action (like a KK which just won the blinds when I put in a standard 3xBB raise preflop).

Then Waffles plays a draw for all of his chips with one card to come when I'd flopped two pair and well ... I don't run so good, right?

Round two boiled down to a couple of nasty hands where frankly we both overplayed marginal hands but unbeknownst to me I was up the creek without a paddle.

I have to hand it to Waffles, his min-raise on the turn there was pretty sick. I should've shoved or folded ... flat calling there got me in a world of hurt.
