Getting punished at 4th place.

Play play play, I keep on playing hoping to grind up some money. New SnG, New table, New Cards, New stack and new buyins. Not really 1.50$ buyin and still SnG NLH 9players.

Just started and one of the first hands I pick up AK of hearts. Raise 4 times blinds. 1 caller that is in position to act after me. Flop 7s 6s Kd I raise with the pot. he calls, a Jc on the turn. I start worry about straight and flush draw so I decide to push all in to stop him from calling to see what's on the river, he calls anyway, QTs flush and straight draw. This is where I get worried. But it was fine. he didn't hit when river comes 7d and I take his stack making me the early chipleader.

22 on bigblind, 2 limpers and I check it. I hit three of a kind on flop and manage to win a small pot after raising the turn.

I'm out of coffee now so I need to go siting out soon and looking for a good opportunity to do so. had time to run right before bigblind and managed to get backk in time to check my pair of fives. Which won was the best hand the whole  way through and won me some chips.

Music when playing is quite important, I like calm music cause it keeps me calm at the table so that I don't get tilted or stress playing bad hands.The river flows in you by Yiruma is good I think, and other music like that.

7 players left, I'm still the chipleader and I'm just watching the battle at the table waiting for a good hand to take the opportunity to strike. Trying to read my opponents weakspots in the meanwhile to steal as much as possible on just one critical strike. Tight but aggressive is the way to play.

KK tripple blind and get one call from late position. flop comes 4d 3h Jc, I deicide to check and let him raise. he raises half the pot. He is short stack and I am chipleader so I push him all in. he makes the call and shows KK aswell. Split pot but I don't think eighter of us was really happy about the result.

6 players left, I just steal some blinds with 2.5x blind raises to build my stack and thin out the shortstacks' stacks.

5 players left and now we got a new chipleader. And right after that I lost a hand cause I played too passive. it wasn't a strong hand but when I betted it was the strongest but I didn't bet high enough so they kept chasing. Didn't lose that much so just rebuilding stack again by stealing some blinds.

4 players left and a new chipleader. Now I'm only the third biggest stack unfortunatly. But that changed quickly. got 88, raised with 4 times the blind. Got called. KQQ raised by 2/3 of the pot and the other player folded. Bought some blinds and now I'm chipleader again.

A7 offsuit against shortstacks A5 offsuit where he hits his 5 on the flop brings me down some chips. but I quickly regain some of it by stealing blinds. Only third biggest stack again though. AT against KQ, all in from shortstack and I call. he hit his Q and I am now the short stack. Pick up AQ and puts it all in wins against A7 and doubles up. Loses some money against chipleader on KQ miss on flop. And KQ against AQ and I'm out at 4th place. This didn't go that well. lost all in a heartbeat with no luck on the deck at all.
