Here's my story to let you know where I am coming from. I've been killing the NLHE .02/.04 games over the last 2 months for 4BB/1000 over about 10k hands. So, rest assured, I have a firm grasp of hold em concepts. But, my bankroll has been a little light until recently.
Last week my slot machine system finally paid off. I pulled $500 from a triple cherry on an Indian reservation. I used some of that to pay off some old therapy bills, but still have $243 to invest in poker.
Now, when I had a little bigger roll, I sat down one time at a 10+1 SNG and found the game to be incredibly soft. I was clearly the best player at the table. I took third for a nice cash, and if it weren't for 2 horrible bad beats, I would have won. One, my Q9s failed to hold up against TT. And in the other, I was all-in preflop with 55, and spiked a five on the flop. Villian had TT and hit his 2-outer T on the river to knock me out. So, you can see, 2 horrible beats (maybe TT is my unlucky hand to go against, I don't know).
Anywho, my question is.....If I use this $243 for SNG's, should I two-table the 109's? Or would it be better to 4-table the 55's? I really have no clue. I need to win enough over the next 10 days to buy myself a car. My grandma got her sentence reduced and I have to pick her up in Colorado in two weeks. And I'd much rather drive than hitchhike. Can I make enough at the 55's or should I even bother. Any advice appreciated.
PS. My friend Mark told me about the reverse domination dilemna at level 2 in SNG's. I'm worried that I could win less if I don't know how to handle that. Advice there appreciated also. Thanks in advance. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
