Grand Slam!!!!!

[MegaBet]

I just hit my first Grand Slam today on the $50s on Party! Set of 4 SNGs...all wins. It's a wicked good feeling! Has anyone else done this? (I'm sure some of you have)

I did a search for this topic, but couldn't find any.

[The Don]

Good for you! This will happen about once in every 2250 sets if you are like me and win 14.5% of the time (never had one, have won 4 a few times in 8 tabling sets though) /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[pokerlaw]

good stuff - still waiting for my first gram slam. I have gotten ITM on all four, feels good. if 4th place paid, maybe someone could hit for the cycle, but I like baseball too much sometimes, so i digress...

[checkers777]

The closest i came was yesterday, when I won 3 out of 4 and busted 3rd in the other (with AA of all hands!!!). It sucks to get that close and lose with a monster.

[Newt_Buggs]

I'm jealous

[wulfheir]

Gratz!

[johnnybeef]

congrats, i had one at the 22s while 4 tabling, and while 8 tabling the 33s i went 6/1/0/1


ps: at the 33s i had a 50 buyin downswing also, variance sucks.

[nWirb]

2 days ago I had some free time and decided to play a set of 4 22 sngs, I finished 1 1 1 and was headsup in the fourth but finished second there, but I was content and went to sleep.
Yesterday I played a set of 4 22 sngs again and I nailed the grand slam =)
So I have well over 300% ROI over my last 8 sngs ;D

Sustainable?

[MegaBet]

Thanks guys!

[TStokes]

Have only done it once at the 10s. Still searching for the holy grail.

[Slim Pickens]

Did you circles imaginary bases? I did this each one of the four times I hit the two-run job while two-tabling the 11's. My former housemate, who was a hardcore but losing player, hated it, and I hated him, so it was all good. ...still have yet to hit the grand slam. I'm more about the silver sombreros.

[HonestIago15]

Just came pretty close, in a set of 4 I went 2 first and 2 second places... but hot damn even that feels pretty sexy.

[MegaBet]

Nice going man, trust me there's no feeling like it in poker (except maybe winning the Friday Special lol). /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Mr_J]

I've done it. In fact I would've done it within my first 100 sngs. Does this make me good again?

Ive done it twice, once at the 22s, and once at the 55s.

Nice job MB.

Closest I've come is 1st in the last three of one four-game set and in the first two to finish of the next one, so SNG Tracker has me winning 5 in a row, but it's not the same, kind of like the Tiger Slam in golf. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif 1/1/2/1 a couple times but the gold ring has eluded me...

One of these days...

[stupidsucker]

what are the official titles given for each task?

4/4 ITMs
4/4 1sts
8/8 ITMs
8/8 1sts

I hit 7/8 ITM yesterday, but I guess I will have to deal with the money as my only prize.

[Roland32]

Closest I got was 3 firsts and 1 second for spite. Of course variance got right back up and continued to have a 10 str8 OOTM.

Kudos to u though

8/8 1sts.... Thats just craziness.

I didn't hit 8 of 8 or even 4 of 4 but how about this for my last 21 sngs:

# of Tourn 21, Avg Finish 2.86, 1st place 6, 2nd place 8, 3rd place 3, Sat Seats 3

If you play enough SNGs, this outcome will be inevitable at some point.

The sat seats are just first or second place finishes (I was hot enough that I am playing steps...hopefully finishing up with a big win tonight /images/graemlins/smile.gif ). I was just writing the stats displayed on poker tracker.
I am just 17 for 21...not 20 or 21 for 21.

the numbers on this happening to a player of Myst's caliber are enough to power the infinite improbablity drive

[yid3655]

Managed to get three 1sts before, so so close yet so far /images/graemlins/frown.gif, still very nice though /images/graemlins/smile.gif

wd on your grand slam I hope to join you very soon /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Roland32]

Done that. I average 2-3% 10th place and have played only ~1000 SNGs. If it can happen, it will inevitably happen to somebody.

[Daliman]

VNJ, sir. My best, which is also the best I have reliably heard of, is 7 wins in a row and 10 cashes in a row at the $215 level, all in same stretch.

I called it a day... /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[ripped]

I have had 2 so far but they were both in the 22's

[MegaBet]

If you can do that you will have no trouble winning 7 $11 games in a row on NoblePoker for a cool million...

Saw that, and it's still sick-hard to do.

I figured my 7 wins in a row to be about a 1 in 3.8 million occurence given my win % at the time. Not worthwhile, even if it is only 1 in 500,000 for me, although the 5 and 6 in a row bonuses would help.
