As a change of pace from limit ring games I decided to play a 45 man SnG for the first time ever.. this was the final table. I usually haven't played much in tournaments other than single table SnG's when I first started playing on line and have yet to really get into my HOH books yet. So should I have maybe held off for a better hand or was this a fairly good move?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) converter

SB (t9915)
BB (t9470)
UTG (t3550)
UTG+1 (t6670)
Hero (t2485)
MP2 (t3915)
MP3 (t22355)
CO (t2310)
Button (t6830)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with , .
2 folds, Hero raises to t2435, 5 folds, BB calls t1635.

Flop: (t4470) , , (2 players)

Turn: (t4470) (2 players)

River: (t4470) (2 players)

Final Pot: t4470

Results in white below:
BB has 5s Ac (flush, ace high).
Hero has Kh Ts (one pair, kings).
Outcome: BB wins t4470.

Fine play... small stack, no time to dick around....

i do think u should have pushed alot sooner tho.. did u get blinded down to 3BBs? or did u get busted on a hand earlier?

Blinded down, I had about 5K in chips going into the table but in the first few orbits there were other people pushing before my turn to act or I just had crap cards in EP like a 9,2o. This was the first decent hand I got where I had relatively high cards.

Its a good push.

I'm about halfway through HoH V.2. If you are doing well at the one table SnG I highly suggest that you just pick up Vol. 2 and read Vol. 1 later. Vol. 1 is great, but not as impactful if you can get through the early stages of tourneys already. You would have pushed much earlier than this which would have:

a) knocked you out earlier
b) put you in a position to win

Bubbling IMO is far worse than going out 20th in a 45 man.
