The dreaded one-hander

Every now and then, you hit the rail on the very first hand of a sit and go. Unless you were being super frisky, often you will have gotten your money in good, only to have the deck turn cold on you. Sometimes, ice cold! That's what happened to me in the second sit and go I played last night. On the first hand, I flopped a set of threes, and called an all-in bet made on the flop. Another player acting behind me also called. I was a 77.19% favorite, but the player whose all-in bet I called, who was an 5.76% underdog, made a full house with running cards, and I was out in a New York minute. There was nothing to regret; I'd play that hand the same way every time. You have to expect such frigid treatment from the cards from time to time :-)

P.S. I just discovered that I'd entered several MTT 8-games into my poker database incorrectly as sit and go no limit hold'em tournaments. I've corrected the errors in the database, but I'm not going to bother going back to correct the incorrect sit and go no limit hold'em balances given in previous posts.
