Description

Yesterday, I wrote that I was not an expert player by any stretch, and though I consider myself above average, I still have a lot to learn and occasionally make really stupid rookie mistakes (which I hopefully learn from and don't repeat.)

Today, I'm going to embarrass the hell out of myself and recount this incredibly stupid thing I did last night, which ended up costing me my tournament life after I'd played a respectable game and was very close to passing the bubble.

I didn't have a ton of time, but I wanted to work on my game, so I hopped into a 2-table $11 SNG. I figured this would give me more useful experience than a single table SNG (which has its own very specific strategy) without involving too much investment in time or money. I've also found that the players at the $11 level, while not the deadly killers you encounter at higher levels, are typically competent players who provide more serious competition than the players at the $5 and $6.50 turbo levels who routinely call all-ins with weak aces. It's not significantly tougher, but it's within my comfort level. Those of you reading this who routinely crush the 10-20 cash games, or 100 MTT SNGs can point and laugh at me now.
