SNG Ladder Challenge (SLC) Intro
On the off-chance anyone else is interested or is going to try this, I'll post updates here. Actually, even if nobody is interested, I'll be posting results anyway since I think I'll hold myself more accountable that way. (I have some tilting through bankroll issues to work on.)
Summary:
After a rocky start, but only taking 11 SNGs to raise my roll from a starting $30 (5 buy-ins at the $5+$1 rung) up to the $55 minimum to step up to the $10+$1s, happy happy times were had.
Back-to-back miracles on the bubble in 2 $10+$1s led to 2 W's and put me over the 5 buy-ins for the $20+$2s. 2 $20s later a 1st place and I'm on to the $30 rung. (Can't post any hands since Party HHs not appearing.)
Hope I haven't wasted all this luck on the lower levels, I'll need it more when I go swimming in the deep end. I was running so damn good, I made $ with the ultimate hand o' death in NL AJo.
