SnG's
TopGear, Mar 22 2012
Hey so i've recently been playing SnG's and I much prefer them to cash games. I've been playing mainly the 45 man $1 ones, as I enjoy those.
I haven't played poker for 3 years but I deposited about £50 ($70~) a few days ago on stars, just to see if I actually enjoy playing poker or not still. I tried fullring NL2 and didn't really enjoy it as much as SnG's.
I've played 81 of these 45 man and cashed in 13 (1st place - 3, 2nd place - 2, 3rd - 2, rest up to 7th), however that puts me at about breakeven. Are these even profitable? I only played these instead of the 2.50 180 ones because I don't think im rolled for those (guessing i'd need 100 buyins at least? I could deposit more to get me started playing those). But those are the ones i'd much prefer, or even the 90 man ones but I think those are turbos and I don't really know how to play them.
I also purchased HM2 today (small stakes version at discount was $25), so fiddling around with that, hopefully will make my game a bit better.
If anyone else plays microstakes SNGs/MTTs and wanna talk about hands/discuss poker shit, I just got skype. name is = m.chadders so feel free to add me. I'm not part of any coaching sites or anything but have a few boks like HoH and poker theory and of course LP.
I'll try and put some more volume into the $1 sng's and see if I can actually beat those longterm for the moment.
My first month of poker
TopGear, Jan 15 2007
So its been a little over a month since my first deposit of $50.
I have turned that into $130 thanks to my luckboxing a $4 190 man MTT and getting sucked out in 3rd. I was chipleader with 6 left at 100k while 2nd had 50k... I could have folded into 2nd place, but thats not the right attitude, I have to gamble to become 1st.
Im playing NL25 way underolled, but until I feel I cant beat it, or at least break even, im not going down. (it plays just like NL10, people are incredibly bad, I just have to not lose buyins).
Its a good experience so I dont mind learning the hard way, even it is "-EV".
I also bought HoH v.1.
And rekrul is right, Blogs really are fucking gay, and I feel like a douche for writing one
