The first time I played since reaching the $1,000 mark, I went over the $1,100 mark by finishing first in an 18-player, $11 SNG while also finishing sixth in a 45-player, $11 SNG. I would like to punch myself in the face for how I played the final hand in the bigger tournament though. Here it is:
Stacks:
SB with 9186
BB with 6170
UTG with 33386
MP with 8026
CO with 4632
HERO with 6100
Blinds:
Site: Full Tilt Poker
Dealt to BTN: 7♥ 7♠
With the blinds as high as they were — 500-1,000 — this seems like a great hand to push with. But there was one problem ...
Preflop:
UTG calls [1,000]
MP raises to 2,000
1 players fold.
Hero raises to 6,100, and is all in
As soon as I put my chips in, I realized the guy who min-raised with a short stack and a caller already in the pot could only have one hand: aces. It seems crazy to consider folding 7s in this spot, but I would have if I had spent five seconds thinking about it.
3 players fold.
MP calls [4,100] Hero shows : 7♥ 7♠
MP shows : A♠ A♥
Total folds this street: 4
Potsize: 13701
Flop: 10♠ Q♦ 6♠
Turn: 9♠
River: 5♣
Hero shows a pair of Sevens
MP shows a pair of Aces
MP wins the pot (14,700) with a pair of Aces

That was the end, but cashes worth $72 and $22.50 gave me a profit of $72.50 for the night.
Current balance: $1,105.
OPR ranking: Still 98.05, but it will go up. They update once a day.
