I feel like doing something stupid...

so I think I'll play 700 sngs in the next 7 days. That's nearly half of what I've played in my 'career' (6 months, and I'm meant to be a fulltime player). Heh. Dunno what limits, most will end up being at the $50s with $20s during slow hours and some $109s during busy hours.

ROI doesn't matter so much, just as long as I get a nice chunk of change for what will probally be 65-70 hrs of work.

Yeh I'm aware this is close to a normal days work for some people (crazy).

Isn't that a constant 6-7 windows at a time? And assuming you dont do anything else but sleep maybe 5-6 hours.

*shrug* Maybe my SnG's just take longer

I 8table...and at 10 sngs an hr that's 70 hrs. I average more an hr than that, but got to account for inefficiencies etc I think ~70 is a decent estimate.

Last 9 days i averaged 32 a day instead of my regular 12 and my brain already feels like it's been smashed (it got me a nice 8th place on the leader board though [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] )

Good luck.

Bump, starting today. Suddenly I don't feel like playing [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

It's also 11:38pm here, woke up maybe an hr ago.

Good luck with it. Hopefully you will not be on my tables at the $33.

Or maybe u will and u will be really tired and make lots of mistakes. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Update (pretty quick huh)...first 10 are almost done, with 8 OTM.

Made some 'risky' moves but my reads were perfect. 7-8 of those busts I was a huge fave going in. 3 were reraising all-in w/ big PPs on flop vs a draw, one was vs 2 unders preflop.

Outdraws are all part of the game, but losing so many times in a row as a heavy fave is degrading, and even more so when it's just the first 10 with 690 to go.

real shitty ITM. Just been outdraw after outdraw, and then getting really lucky in a few tournaments to help me breakeven.

Only $22s so far today:
SNGs: 53
ROI: -4.3% (not inc rakeback)
Total progess: 7.6% (53 out of 700)

Yeh so not a good start, got in the right situations, cards just didn't fall my way.

Username so I can avoid you at the 22s?

PM me if you wish.

I am aiming for 300 by Sunday mostly at the 22 level (not near as much as 700 in 7 days) but lots for me. Wish me luck also. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
