Twilight turbo's

I've rediscovered the joys of single table turbo sit and go's. And their frustrations too of course, but that practically goes without saying. So, submitted for your consideration:

(50/100) A9 offsuit on the button, 1300 chips, 7 players remaining. One limp in front, I raise to 500, BB who covers me pushes. I forget to be wary of the wrath of Hoy and call. Twilight zone indeed (he had TT -- I didn't suck out).

(10/20) A8 suited in MP, 1500 chips, 10 players remaining. I open limp (doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo), the button calls, the SB folds, the BB check. Flop is Q95 with two of my suit. BB min bets. I make a huge mistake and just call. Button calls. Turn is an Ace. BB min bets again. I make a slightly smaller mistake and bet 90, leaving the button to call 90 into a 240 pot. He does, as does the BB. River is an 8 giving me two pair. I bet 200 into the 400 pot, button pushes. With a flick of my long ears, I call. Of course he has JT - what else could it be?

On the positive side, I think that had I made those two obvious folds it's quite likely I would have been in the money in five out of five of these suckers.

Haven't mentioned radio for a while. Fighting Talk continues to be a favourite, as does Definitely Not the Opera which is absolutely superb.
