Here are my results for the first day. (all times are ET)
1 table 109$ SNG at PartyPoker.
1st place pays 500$
2nd place pays 300$
3rd place pays 200$
Session 1:
From 07:35 to 09:35 (2 hours)
2nd: 2
3rd: 1
Out of the money: 2 (no bubbles)
Total result: +255$
Session 2:
From 10:45 to 12:30 (1 hour 45 min.)
1st: 1
2nd: 1
OOTM: 3 (no bubbles)
Total result: +255$
Session 3:
From 14:50 to 17:50 (3 hours)
1st: 1
OOTM: 4 (2 bubbles)
Total result: -45$
Session 4:
From 17:30 to 19:45 (2 hours 15 min.)
2nd: 2
3rd: 3 (no bubbles)
Total result: +255$
Total Result Day 1: +720$
My first impression is that these first results are not good enough.
I bubbled twice when I was the chip leader both times.
All 5 times I came second I also was chip leader at some point with about 70% of all chips.
I finished 10th once, the rest of the "out of the money" finishes were around 5ht/7th.
I suffered a few bad beats of course, but sucked out myself a couple of times, though not as many times as the other way around.
My playing style was quite tight, playing only strong hands in the first 2/3 levels, but when I played a hand, usually big pairs, I normally got paid, which indicates that most of the other players were not really paying attention.
3/4 times I landed at a very tight table. The rest of the time, there was 1, maybe 2 good players, the rest didn't really knew what they were doing.
All in all a good start. I think the net result should have been a little higher, but of course only 20 SNGs is not enough to make any conclusions. Tomorrow will be a new day.
Questions and comments are welcome.
