You might have read a book on SNGs, like Collin Moshman's Sit 'n' Go Strategy, or watched SNG training videos at a site like DeucesCracked or others (all great investments, by the way). They all universally advocate a conservative strategy for the early rounds, and an increasingly aggressive bl... Read More
So I didn’t get to put a whole lot of volume in, but ran VERY hot last week. I played 28 sit n goes and am up 9 BI. I also played 6 MTTs and took a first and a 2nd. I had limited opportunities to play because of other obligations, but I’ve been playing sit n goes after work and then MTTs on the weekends. That seems to work well for my schedule and keeps things fresh for me. I find myself looking forward to it every da ... <a href="/blogs/dougbug808/101001-Running-hot-last-week-">(continued)</a>
Man, this site is pretty quiet compared to how I remember it pre BF. It makes me a little bit sad, but I suppose it’s understandable. After some more consideration and tinkering around in various games, I’ve decided to play sit n goes with a few MTTs mixed in on the weekends. I’ve found there to be quite a few fishy players in these games on Bovada and ACR. I haven’t played a whole lot this week so far, but I took 2nd in a $ ... <a href="/blogs/dougbug808/100941-SNGs-it-is">(continued)</a>
I tried some cash games online before on and off over some time, but didn’t want to/didn’t have the spare funds for coaching and didn’t work on my game. Now I have seen the series on bankroll building I hope to use 45man games as an intro to MTTs and also a way to build a BR and funds for coaching. I quite like the excitement of MTTs but not the huge field games where only the final table is interesting. I like the 500 or ... <a href="/blogs/lemonsftl/99131-Bankroll-building">(continued)</a>
Well, back to poker after a 2 year break for various personal reasons. Heard a blog is a good way to keep motivated to actually work on the game and keep at it. Plan to get started: Watch Real Life 180 Grinder Watch Top 0.56% Learn from OMGClayDol Grind 180s Work on building tables back up, starting with 2 and going from there. Aim by the end of May: No Volume Target No Profit Target Basically only target is to get through the vid ... <a href="/blogs/alwaysmediocre/90251-First-">(continued)</a>
What’s up, DC! Pretty happy to let you guys know my wife has been pregnant for around 7 weeks now and our baby is due November! The baby is currently the size of a blueberry and we’re excited to go get an ultrasound in a week or so and see if we can see him/her. I’ll be sure to write up a trip report. For now, I’ll leave you with a very cool BBC documentary I found over at Papaverse.com (great site, JT!): Regarding poker, ... <a href="/blogs/orestto/88621-It-s-baby-time-">(continued)</a>
After busting out a few lousy hands, I need to build my bankroll again. I could grind 5NL but nothing makes me feel more like a dying robot than 5NL games. I switched over to 180 mang SNGs and started watching The Top 0.56 Percent videos. lol sample sizes, but 24 sessions, $100 net, $6/hour, 15 hours so far. My heads up game needs a lot of work. The last 180 I played I finished in 3rd making a stupid call. Should have folded to ... <a href="/blogs/microdot/76651-180-man-SNGs">(continued)</a>
This is it. The end. Terminus. Finitum . I’ve messed around in poker for a number of years now, from home games to casinos to online. I’ve lost money playing poker for a number of years now, from home games to casinos to online. This is where I draw a line in the sand and move from being a casual player into a winner, this is where I stop riding the variance train to crazy town and grind my way to a ... <a href="/blogs/cns/69481-Give-a-man-a-fish-and-he-will-eat-for-a-day">(continued)</a>
Yeah, sick rhymes… Still haven’t come off my downswing. AA vs KK ; AA vs 88 ; and KK vs KQ in the last ~15mins. I don’t mind stuff like this because it’s so obvious if I’m just running bad. Smaller, post flop stuff is where I’m starting to slowly feel insecure. Still haven’t checked how many BI-s I’m down because it would do me no good anyway. It shouldn’t be more than 70 and can’t be less than 60. I starte ... <a href="/blogs/tychoon/54921-Seeds-of-doubt-are-starting-to-sprout">(continued)</a>
Hey, I’m kind of bored so I figured I’d share my thoughts on these things. Many, unlike me, seem to like these multi-entry tournaments. I’ll try to give you an brief overview on why and how these affect our ROI-s. Keep in mind that I don’t play MTT-s and know quite little about them and players who play them. I’m sure My logic is flawed in spots because of this and because I only spent around 10 minutes ... <a href="/blogs/tychoon/54381-Multi-Entry-MTT-s-screwing-MTT-players-">(continued)</a>
Yeah, I think I’m ~30BI-s in the red over the past 3 days. Haven’t checked the actual numbers. Nothing special, meh… I’m a bit surprised at how little this is affecting me emotionally. I think it’s the biggest downswing $$$ wise I’ve had playing these SNG-s. Hoping to take shots at HS once this swing is over :D. Anyway, I’m hoping to get the black card in 30 days, I need something like 27-30k FPP-s to get it. Can’t take a ... <a href="/blogs/tychoon/53691-Running-kinda-shitty">(continued)</a>
