Default Re: Dropping 30 buy-ins at the Party 5+1?

Hi,

I read the hand history, nothing to add really beyond what others have said, except I thought you got pretty unlucky with the cards dealt levels 3 onwards. One ace would have been nice right?

Anyway, I don't know if this helps but about 3 months ago I started playing SNGs (and no-limit poker for that matter) for the first time. I played $5+1's and lost my entire Party bankroll - about $150 - within a couple of weeks. This was mainly due to not knowing how to play no limit poker or SNGs. Obviously. But all the while I was learning, and the most important part of which was reading this forum (despite having been lurking on this site for almost 3 years I spent most my time in the limit section).

So, I vowed to play better, not to multi-table until I learned more and I bought back in for 20 buy-in to the $10+1s. 50 tourneys later (yes sample size blah blah) I am showing a very healthy profit. I'm on an upswing for sure, but I feel I know a heck of a lot more about the game.

So the point of this ramble? Move to the $10s! I guarantee you will win*
