Return to posting and return to SNGs
 

Ok, so I decided to mix up my game a bit more. I was playing the 10-20 NL for the last 5 months, and I had been killing it. But I was getting bored, so I decided to go back to SNGs for a while. Prior to this month, I had not played any sngs since early July. I have to tell you all that I have seen some changes in game play at the 215s.
Few things I have noticed:
1. People call late- with tons of trash..... J9o, K8s for all their chips. Completely insane.
2. Much harder to run the bubble as chip leader. People are calling again, w/ anything. I had a guy where everyone had 1500 chips (except I had 5500), 150/300 blinds, call my shove with K3h..... I had K6!!!! I mean that is insane. He was UTG +1, and I was UTG!!! Blatantly atrocious play.
3. Many more fish!!!!!! Of course there is always fish. But some of these guys are just so bad.

I have played a total of 202 SNGs since my return and granted it's a small sample, but here are my results.
24 1st 11.9% $24,000
28 2nd 13.9% $16,800
34 3rd 16.8% $13,600
116 57.4% $-

202 100.0% $54,400

Entry Fees $42,622

Win/Loss $11,778

Per STT $58.31
ITM : 42.6 %
ROI : 27.1%

I'm pretty happy with these #s. Willing to answer any questions you may have. Good luck all!

You missed "e-penis" becoming an accepted term on the forum.

Meanwhile, everyone else is bitching about how hard the $215s have gotten since Party nuked the skins. Also based on small sample sizes, of course.

In other words, business as usual.

Trying to answer your question regarding the calls near the bubble. Reading on multiple forums and watching some poker on TV (the same as an average SnG player) it seemed to be that the strategy when you got to the bubble with a big stack was to constantly push and force the smaller stacks to put their whole stack (and any chance at prize money) at stake. Pretty soon people realized that with Ax or Kx they usually had one live card which is enough to stand up to the bully.

I just played around 50 of them today, anyone who says they are even remotely tough is delusional.

They're definitely not easy. But there are still a zillion donks in there. I really wish they would add a $300 SNG or $500 SNG on party.
