Yes i know it’s only $1 !! but first time ever winning a 45man, i only play 9 man sngs, so kinda excited. wasn’t expecting it this being just for fun and last game of the night.
wasn’t expecting it cos i always do bad at 90mans, but i guess 45 is not that big of a field. was a short stack coming into the final table. then barely made it into the money thanks to 2 big stacks eaten by one bigger stacked. Then i won a coinflip, 55 vs AJo. Then called in the big blind with aces, no brainer. And got to 2nd! I can’t believe it considering i was down to 2BB at one point lol. HU was pretty quick and sick.
1st hand – bluff into a straight, how great is my hand reading skillz

In summary:
- shove in the sb with 25s, got called by KT and flopped a full house 2s full of fives.. yay! (i was left with 2bb so no choice but to shove)
-won a coinflip 55 vs AJ, pick up aces when blinds are very high = gold, pick up 2 jacks in a row against HU shove-r = yay!
-AIPF his KT vs my JJ. flop came King, turn blank, and river Jack = justice
- 45man SNG and 27man 18man are probably worth a try! (variance may not be as bad as i think, and reward is much bigger)
