400 Tournaments this weekend...

I'll see if I can dig them up. Eurobet isn't sending me the files, but they should be in my pt database.

I'm sharing three tables with you now as well. I'm the other shortstack at the table with the monster chipleader.

First of all: Tell me if I'm a pain in the ass and I should go back to minding my own business. When I wrote it it was meant to show that I had indeed been sitting at your tables. That said, here are the hh:

The first one there was nothing really wrong with. The second one, I'd probably fold from the sb, then have a tough decision whether to go for a cheap showdown or fold on that flop. With a bet and a call in front, I'd fold.

Yup,yup, the 2nd one is definitely a bad way to lose a tourney. I seem to have troubles getting away from top pair once we are in level 4 or greater due to the fact that I don't have enough blinds to find out how strong someone is. In that particular situation, I can't really vote for folding to the 100, and I can't see any kind of raise that's not going to commit me, so I just pushed and lost. That's the breaks. In addition, I'm not a big fan of folding the small blind when there is 350 in the middle and it costs me 5% or less of my stack.

Your distribution is interesting. I've moved up to 6-tabling and have added two 109s - my 1st/2nd/3rd distribution shows a similar patter (most 1sts, a few less 3rds, a lot fewer 2nd than 3rds or 1sts). My 215 distribution doesn't do this. I'm not quite sure why (are there just more bad HU players in the 109s?).

[shejk]

For what it's worth my distribution is the opposite. I've got 9% firsts 14% seconds and 15% thirds. This is almost surely due to variance.

For 100 SNGs, surely you can't draw conclusions. Mine is for about 800 - still can have a bit of variance in there, but it's more likely to be indicative of a long-term pattern.

I think imcastleman plays a similar style to mine, so maybe this is the distribution type (1st, 3rds, and 4ths about equal, fewer 2nds) you'll see with it at the 109s.

Then again, maybe not. Hard to know for sure until you have thousands under your belt without a whole lot of experimentation in your play.

[DonButtons]

I got that same pattern going on too in the 109s.

Im starting to wonder, do any of you guys ever chat at the tables when your 4-12 tabling?, I just dont feel like keeping up with the chat lately, but kind of feel like an ass when Im not responding to someone.

[shejk]

4tabling yes. Kind of depends how much other stuff is going on of course. I generally don't consider people rude just because they don't reply though.

[FatalError]

My disto over nearly 500 is 15%/14%/13% which i consider nearly ideal, FYI my 4th/5th are both 12%
