So for the $100 bonus on Pokerroom, I decided to play 280 $5+0.5 SNGs, and got through my first 19 this morning.

Probably the strangest streak I've seen (profitable too!) - it went like this...

25
35
35
23
32
52
52
111!

Before my 3 consecutive firsts, whatever I did, I couldn't get anything other than 2,3,5. I took beats and gave beats, but when I got all-in, I'd always win on the bubble, and always lose heads-up.

Before this, the strangest streak is getting 6th five times in a row.

Anyways, since my SNG experience is rather small, I was wondering what crazy streaks you guys have had - surely those who have played 10000+ SNGs have seen some pretty unbelieveable things.

I'm a 20+2 newbie, having moved up from a 47% ROI at 10+1's, and I just started recording my results today.

I played in 12 today and I've gotten 3 firsts, 5 seconds, and 2 thirds. That's 157.6% ROI and 83.3% ITM lol!

From 10+1's I've gotten the coveted 1st 1st 1st 1st once and 11 consecutive ITM's (5 of them were firsts) another time. There was also a stretch where I finished OOTM in 15 out of 17 consecutive tourneys.

It's like in that movie where the coin lands heads every time -- it's bound to happen in the long run scheme of things!

This sort of thing is *very* standard.

I had a 35% roi in the 33s over 300 tourneys or so, so I decided to move up. I then lost my first 11 $55 SNGs in a row. In 3 of them, I had a full house cracked, once by runner-runner quads. Poop happens.
