At this level, and your chip stack. And with only 2 more people to act behind you with the others folding... this is definately a push.

Results?

Yeah, it's good. You're in the CO, and your stack is getting awfully desperate. Any pp in this spot is fine. Even 22. Many would argue that you should push 84o in this spot.

Yeah I was just thinking that many people around here could make the argument for pushing almost any 2 in that position and the blinds/stack sizes.

Nice push. No other option in that spot. Fold is bad. Obviously any standard raise at this point is bad. limp is awful. Push, push, push.

It's funny I keep hoping I post a hand that people say "that is a bad push, you have a leak". But nope I am just running worse than anyone has ever thought possible. At the peak 41 BI drop and right now I am down 36 BI, I'm coming up to a 500 SnG period of losing. This is after 2500 with double digit ROI. The only part of my game that has changed is the amoutn of times I win a hand when i am ahead and a confli pfor me being a 90% underdog. If I am not a winner after this chunk of 1000 SnG's I will take a 1 week break and go back to 4 tabling th 3/6 limit game at least there I only get sucked out for bets and not stacks.

I thought SnG's had low variance, I guess only if you ahve good luck, huh?

Out.

Wrong. They have high variance. Just not as high as no-limit MTTs or ring games.

I was being srcastic although a 40 BI downswing is at least notable from what I have seen on this forum. I do want to thank you for being hard on me as I need the encouragment. I just read Fiery Justice's blog post where he talks about going 1000 $215's with a negative ROI and that has given me motivation. Also I saw that Zeejustin had a 40 BI drop during his 1000 215's challenege. So just for you Yugo, I will not mention my downswing again until it hits 60 BI or I ahve gone 1000 SnG's with a negative ROI. Please poker gods, quit rewarding the guys who are TRYING to give me their chips. Holler.

Out.
