Finally a win!
Well I feel like I just got a monkey off my back tonight. The cards were falling right and I was able to win a 45 man $25 sit and go. Considering my results lately I am very pleased! $348 for that win. I was long overdue especially considering just before I had gone on this skid I had cashed in 6 straight without a top 2 finish. I was due....yooooooo--->>
Whoa hold the presses. LOL. Last hand of the night at the cash tables!! WOOT WOOT. As I'm writing. Here is a big cash game hand (well for me)to boot! A double stack job!

Analysis: Well this hand could not have played out any better. I raise preflop with QQ 3xbb from 1st position and get two callers. a guy with AKspades in middle position and a donk taking a total flyer from the cutoff with 5c9d. The flop came 4d5s2s. This gives buddy in mp top flush draw and donk who now has position in the cutoff has top pair on the board. I'm still ahead as far as I know and put out a continuation bet of $3. This bet is a total disguise and very hard for anyone to read at this point. Guy in mp with flush draw comes over the top of me for $7 more. Cutoff calls and I have to think that I might be beat here. But that flush draw board leads me to think a flush draw has raised me here. The cutoff call has me a bit worried but he was a pretty short stack to begin with. I call.
Now the turn is a Qclubs!! I check. I want to encourage the action we saw on that flop to continue. I do not want to slow down their betting. To my surprise the mp raiser just checks. This leads me to believe he is indeed on a flush draw. Luckily that guy in the cutoff with just a pair of 5's with his 59o is taken in be our weak play! He pushes allin for the rest of his stack. Perfect! Now I am pretty sure he does not have a straight and regardless I am feeling pretty damn good with my top set of Q's. I push the rest of my stack over the top. To my delight the mp big stack calls us down!! He must be thinking he has some kind of pot odds but to be honest I think its a terrible call. I can see him calling down that original allin bet from the small stack, but my push is for an additional 55bb's. I don't care though as the river is a harmless 9h! RACK EM!
Well folks tonite was a real pleasure for once this month. Hopefully this can kickstart my game a bit and become the norm again. +$507 for about an hour and a half. I needed that!
