$105 HU SNG, Hand #15

I have a T120 chip lead when I am dealt presto, then the magic begins:

Presto is Gold (Part 79)

Well I ultimately blew myself up again on FullTilt.

I have been playing very little but in the last couple of days I have caught a few breaks and been on the plus-side of a few coolers/setups.

This hand is the first decent presto hand in some time:

$2/$4NL, 7-handed

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Poster 1 checks
Poster 2 checks
Button raises to $16
Fuel55 calls $14 from SB with [5d 5c]
BB calls $12
Poster 1 folds
Poster 2 folds

*** FLOP *** [9d 9c 5h]
Fuel55 checks (time to check my boat and see if someone has an overpair)
BB checks
Button checks

*** TURN *** [9d 9c 5h] [Ah]
Fuel55 checks (ok time to check again and see if someone has an ace)
BB bets $20
Button folds
Fuel55 raises to $84 (let's see if that really is an ace)
BB has 15 seconds left to act
BB calls $64

*** RIVER *** [9d 9c 5h Ah] [Kh]
Fuel55 bets $112 (best amount for value?? - please have AK!)
BB has 15 seconds left to act
BB calls $112

*** SHOW DOWN ***
Fuel55 shows [5d 5c] a full house, Fives full of Nines
BB mucks mucked [Qh Ac] - two pair, Aces and Nines
Fuel55 wins the pot ($445) with a full house, Fives full of Nines

Presto Not So Good (Part 4)

So after getting my $522 up to $731 in 30 minutes I moved up to $2/4NL, 6-max and quickly lost a buy-in with QQ vs AQ on an AAQ flop. Then had to fold JJ on an A-high flop. This put me down to $319 so back to the headsup SNGs I went where I proved once again that using Presto against me is pure folly.
