Is 40 really worthy of a post? Maybe if you are 2 tabling or less...

[chisness]

3x that might get some oohs and ahs

[astarck]

I think you just limped your AK ITM and I pushed with QK.

I took 3rd.

[astarck]

Nevermind...that was someone else.

I am not sure why you goes would post something negative about his attempt. I am interested in how you do. In fact I will probably play more than 40 tonight. What is your screenaname that I am looking for?

Negative?

I was glad to see a 2+2er at my table.

And I KNOW you were at one of my tables....just not sure which.

[Messy_Jesse]

Im 8-tabling the 55s. Names: messy_jesse, and sir_tu_yu. I know 40 isnt incredible, but is something. Just a fun thing to do. YOu can always just skip to the next post /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[astarck]

I am sitting 1 to your right in a sir_tu_yu sng...can you guess?

EDIT - If you do guess it I'll let you know once the SNG is over.

[axeshigh]

I'm at one of your tables, just stacked off someone who called my raise with A2 and got married to it somehow...

[Messy_Jesse]

I realize now that 40 SNGS was a wimpy goal- I'm at 45 already, and im gonna try to get in 60. Ill save the main results for later, but so far I'm up like $1k, mainly due to my last 8- here they are:

7-Aug Su 12:00 AM 1 65
7-Aug Su 12:02 AM 1 53
7-Aug Su 12:09 AM 4 54
7-Aug Su 12:21 AM 1 59
7-Aug Su 12:21 AM 4 29
7-Aug Su 12:21 AM 2 58
7-Aug Su 12:29 AM 1 51
7-Aug Su 12:34 AM 1 43


5 1sts, 1 2nd, and 2 4ths.... profit of like $960.

Well I decided to focus my efforts on the Step Highers tonight and have placed 2nd or 3rd in 7 in a row now, since i get the freeroll replays. Does someone who has a 1.1 to 1 chiplead over you usually call an allin with 58os? They do if they know the flop is gonna be 678 and the turn will be a 4. RIGGED! /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

hey. it was nice talking to you at the table tonight. even though we didnt talk much.

[Messy_Jesse]

Ok. So, I got in 54- thanks to anyone who said "hey"- I didn't know there were so many of you guys out there. Anyways, this was really a lesson in variance. My first hour I made $510. After 16 SNGS, I went on a 1/15 ITM streak- However, I turned things around and ended up with...

ITM: 40.7%
ROI: 36.4%

1st: 18.5%
2nd: 13%
3rd: 9.3%

Total Profit (w/ rakeback): 1080 + 67 = $1147.

I love how he makes 90% of my bankroll in one night.. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

In all seriousness, great job, I can only wait/hope for the day I'll be able to do that at the 55's.

I know this sounds cliche, but if you work at it, you will be soon. I started off in December playing two $5 SNGS- patience, a willingness to learn, and lots and lots of playing have led me from there to the point where I am successfully beating the $55s.

One more thing that I think is important is to simply have the balls to go for it. The two times I hesitated the most were when moving from 4 tables to 8 and when moving from the 33s to 55s (it was a big psychological jump). Each time, it really just took me saying "screw it" and giving it a try. If you arent willing to test your upper limits, then your journey to the top will be slow and arduous. Always give yourself the opportunity to succeed.
