With a little help...

Enough of all this analysis, back to playing :-) I finally managed to qualify for step 2 again. I did not play that great at the start but managed to double up twice after dropping to 1000. Still, it was far from plain sailing until the friendly opponent to my immediate left decided to throw it all away on... well, look for yourself.

Blinds: t100/t200

Stack sizes:
UTG: t8310
Button: t1515
SB: t7775
Hero: t2400

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with 5♥ 6♠

UTG raises to t1000, Button folds, SB raises all-in t7675, Hero folds, UTG calls t6775 (pot was t8875).

Flop: 4♠ 9♣ 2♥
Turn: 8♠
River: 9♦

Results:
Final pot: t15750
UTG shows 7c 7h
SB shows Kc Ks

This of course made a huge difference for me, as I eliminated what was left of UTG on the next hand, and then had 2700 vs 1500 to my left. On the hand after this, I stole a pot from him after the huge stack folded, and then it was basically all decided.

Now to see whether I can reach the top 4 at least in some step 2 game for a change...
