Default How much do I suck?

Well I successfully blew $1100 in $50 SNGs. (in less than 48hrs btw)

How bad to I have to be to achieve this feat?

12 in a row not in the money?

Come on dude, you're good enough to know that poker happens, even to the best.

actually it would be 1 money finish out of about 25.

I don't have enough data to know my win rate and SD for SnGs, but I'd imagine that has to be pretty bad for even a medicore player.

Well then, that proves it! You do suck! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Cheer up dude, it'll get better. I'm the biggest pessimist in the world and even I know it gets better.

I finished out of the money in 16/17 $11 (!!!!) SnG's at one point, and over a few hundred I'm still happy with my win% and ROI.

So yeah...anyway, losing 16 of 17 to the droolers who play 10+1's is much worse than losing 24/25 at 50+5.

But I suck, so to answer your question, since suckiness is relative, you suck less than I.

Hi Notton,

You figured how to get to 2 + 2, can't suck that bad [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Not bragging, but I know I am one of the better Sit N Go players here. Very good ROI / percent in the money, but I had a 21 tourney streak out of the money. I never saw anything like it. At the end of it, I don't think I knew how to play poker. I posted about this awhile back. I think it was my 1st. post. So, you only have one way to go right?

I would check my game for any obvious leaks and I definitely would play tight for awhile....

Pitcher

Nottom,

If you are running that bad you might want to consider dropping down a level or consider taking a few days off.

To lose that badly you have had horrible luck and a few days might reestablish perspective.

To figure out how good or bad you are don't concern yourself with small sample sets, but keep detailed records and track your progress.

Well considering I just depleted all the money I had in my account, I guess I have no choice but to take a break. I have a couple of days to wait for my reserve BR to make it to Neteller, so I guess I need to use this time to work on my game.

I know I'm good enough to beat the stupid things its just discouraging when you keep putting in money with the best of it and it never seems to go your way.

That's a horrible run, I'm sure you had dozens of bad beats during this streatch. Is it possible that you went on tilt? even a little can destroy my sng play. At any rate, buck up and fight another day.
