How many SnGs have you WON? A happy post

[Zaebos]

It seems like a lot of people post about thier long losing streaks and bad beats but I want to hear about everyones best winning streak. Also what is the luckiest suck out you ever had and don't say u don't suck out because we all f up every now and then and suck out.

Well I'd have to pull out all the log books and do some research for the overall picture, but I've just recently(7/24/04) started playing the 10+1 single tables at Party with very good and unrealistic results. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

tournys- 13
ITM % - 70
ROI - 124%
1st - 4
2nd - 2
3rd - 3


Incredible run of luck. Good hands standing up, steals working.

I did have one tourny where I had been card dead for the first 4 levels and had only seen around 16% to the flop. I was extremely low on chips (<300T -blinds 100/200) and went all in on a bluff steal (2xBB) from the small blind heads up with 6/2o. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

He had 10/3o and I hit a 2 on the flop and rivered two pair vs. nothing for him. He busted out shortly later, and I went on to win.

So if 2/o vs 10/3o is a suckout, I gladly confess.He certainly felt it was, by the way he berated me for the next five minutes. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

from a small sample size (more than you but still v small) im running a ROI of over 100% in the 15+1s in Stars.

more number ones than any other position (and a 60 odd percent ITM).

of cours it will go down thanks to good old variance, but for now its great, and the best thing is confidence thanks to these results are feeding forthcoming results.

as to overalls, i couldnt tell you (played as largely a winner over 2 years, but only started seriously recording results a couple of months back. in all my recorded results im getting a bottom line figure of 45% ITM.

Yesterday I had a stretch of 15 SNGs, and I won 7 of those.

[eastbay]

I sustained >100% ROI for over 50 games once in the $55s. It involved some serious luck.

I suck out all the time. I love it cause people call me a moron when I call the low stack when Im the big stack with less then premium hands. I dont just do this all the time. It is almost always from the BB and Ill call with any 2 cards if they arent much more then 2xBB. It bothers me greatly when the BB/Big stack folds to the small stack all in.

[edge]

I suck out on people a lot. Possibly more than they suck out on me, because if I notice that the table, or certain players, are too tight, I'm pushing with T4o to steal blinds late.

My best suckout was A7o against AA. I think I hit a straight.

[Matt24]

I've won 5 straight at the $10 level and 7 of nine on that same streak. I've also only won 1 out of 83 in one span($20s), which is the funk I'm trying to get out of right now.

Thats my biggest pet hate too.

The best suck out i remember is when i pushed 22 into 2 limpers when i was on the shortstack, they called with KK and AA, the flop was 277, and no help came for them. They moaned and i said it maybe wouldn't have happened if they raised it up.

I once won an allin pot, A7o vs AA vs AK, I hit the straight

[Frogger]

I have the record for the best suckout on all of 2+2...

I was in the SB with A2o. I tried for a blind steal of 3bb but I was called. Flop came K99. I bet into him for like 300 chips. He calls.

Next card is an Ace. I have two pair. I bet into him. He raises 3bb. I'm pot committed so I call.

Next card is an Ace. I bet, he raises all in and I call.

He shows down a K9o for the FLOPPED full house.

I pull a runner runner 3 outer!

Altough in a 200+15 tourney today, I raised all in from the SB with AsAd and was called by Kd3s. My ace high flush was destroyed by a straight flush. I still won the tourney though with a huge suckout.

[viennagreen]

tonight i experienced one of my most improbable suckouts of all time.

3 left, i'm short stack (but we're all pretty even), i go all-in with A9s, SB calls me with QQ.

Flop comes KKK
Turn 7
River K

I win, ace kicker... winning wasn't as improbable as the way it happened of course...

[HoldingFolding]

Dunno about winning, but this weekend I played 12 SnGs and came 2nd 6 times and 4th 5 times. Either blinding out with no cards in 4th or finding myself the tiny-tiny stack headsup.

[Reverend]

Completely hammered I made a bet with a friend for £250 about a tax rate(!?) and lost. He decided to invest his winnings in me at poker to give me a chance of winning it back - I had to lose it all (at no more cost to myself) or win back 3 times the stake, to make myself £250 and him £500 (a total of around $1300). It was supposed to be a long term thing rather than a single night but I placed in 9 $109 tournaments out of 9 (I also played 2 $55s which I didn't place in and one $215 which I came third) to make it all that evening/morning with him watching. Sweet. Would have been nicer if I had had all been my money of course but I still came out the best part of $1000 better off than I would have been and 9 money places in a row at $109s is something I doubt i'll ever better!

I'm in the middle (I hope) of a very nice run in the PokerStars $50+$5 NL Holdem 9 handed sit-n-go's. In my last 11 plays I've come in:

2,2,2,2,2,1,4,2,4,1,1

and the two 4th's were bad beats or I'd have been in the money 11 straight (and counting)

and, yes, I did hit 7 or 8 suckouts on the way.
