New SNG player with some stats and graphs
   Ok so I joined party poker like 3 months ago and put in my $50 and lost it in like 5 days cause I was just another dumb fish. Then like 6 days ago they e-mailed me saying I received the $20 "come-back" bonus. So I was like sweet free poker money. But this time I wanted to use it for as long as possible. I had allready read Small Stakes Hold'em (Miller, Sklansky, Malmuth) and found the link to this forum from the book. So i read like 8 SNG guides and about 40 different post. So then I started playing some SNG's. And I started winning. I am mostly playing 5 and 10's and 2 multitable 10's (got first in both). Now what I want to know is: is this just some begginners luck? Now I know you guys are gonna say you haven't played enough to tell but it seems like I have been getting sorta lucky on a lot of big win hands... Also what the hell does that RIO mean? Also I was looking for so other reading material that might help me advance specifically for SNG's. Thanks

Re: New SNG player with some stats and graphs
I don't have a "real" job. I do make about $450 a month on ebay though. I have a feeling that soon I will find out how much was luck and how much was skill. But I will keep to MY GAME and thats what matters. Of course I did start with a free $20.
Also I wanted to post a hand that I can credit to a guide on here about leading a player into to bluffing you, kinda oa reverse trap. Anyways I thought it was pretty sweet. #Game No : 2194124600 ***** Hand History for Game 2194124600 ***** NL Hold'em Trny:13019954 Level:7 Blinds (100/200) - Sunday, June 12, 02:18:38 EDT 2005 Table 2 - Table(363852) Table #1 (Real Money) Seat 3 is the button Total number of players : 4 Seat 1: SteveKeys ( $3902 ) Seat 3: Vosh85 ( $9768 ) Seat 9: jiveturkey94 ( $1080 ) Seat 10: leadrunner ( $5250 ) Trny:13019954 Level:7 Blinds (100/200) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to SteveKeys [ Kh 8s ] SteveKeys calls [200].

[/ QUOTE ] That is not a hand you want to be calling with in heads up. The only good you can do is play with skill and try a steal. And even then I wouldn't even bother that without having something decent unless these other guys were just tight frog asses. Your "skillful" bluff inducer was only a product of sheer luck. If you continue to play that hand you'll find yourself busting on the bubble more than anything else.
