Twice I was dealt TT. Twice the board came with all unpaired undercards with no flush draws and unlikely straight draws. Twice I ran into overpairs (QQ and AA). Twice I never improved. And after the second one, I donk out in 141st out of 155, far and away my worst performance.
But it begs the question - am I supposed to slow-play overpairs, turn into a calling station, or try to play aggressively? I took the aggressive route in each, slowing down only in the first hand vs. Chris. And I can't fault either player with QQ or AA...they played their hands properly. I just stepped into the bear trap. Twice.
Then I walked over to a NLHE SNG and had to experience this:
