AHHH bigred knocked me out of the Gauntlet again! This time it was a questionable move on my part, when he raised 3x UTG and I pushed from LP with 99. Still, I was a slight favorite as he had AK and lost another flip. The first two games have been eerily similar. Both times I got cold decked, but managed to pick off bluffs and blindsteal my way to a healthy stack through the first hour. And both times I pushed with the first decent PP only to get stacked by bigreds overcards. The 1st time was excusable IMO because he could have been pushing with any 2. This time, I should have known he had a strong hand and I had a decent enough stack so that I should have been able to fold 99. Oh well, better luck next week.

There aren't too many hands of interest in my latest adventures at 6-max, but here are a few hands I think I played badly:
