400 SNG's in 8 Days Challenge!!!

Make hay when the sun is shining...

I know exactly what you're saying.

I find it hard to play more than a couple hours if I'm doing good, and play the most when I'm doing not-so-good.

It's a bad combination of laziness and stubborn-ness. It's a definite psychological leak.

Congrats on your heater Degen

[bmxreed36]

When I'm on a heater and feel like quitin early I try to tell myself to earn all i can before it turns around. Anyways my results over the last 4 days:

$20+2 SNG's
311 played
48 1st
38 2nd
40 3rd
185 OOTM

ITM = 40.5%
ROI = 28.3%
Profit = $1938

I played 37 SNG's so far today. I just did 4 $22's and 4 $33's for a change, because my bankroll is over $6k, and I'm getting bored with the $22's.
Only one second in the 4 $22's, but my set of $33's went like this: 1st, 1st, 3rd, 1st.

286% ROI BITCHES!! I'M THE BEST EVEERR!!11 Is this sustainable? Should I quit my job (oh wait I have no job..)

Here's a hand I thought was funny.. (I'm bootatata.. the name doesnt mean anything [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

But all the poker books and money management articles say PLAY MORE WHEN YOU'RE WINNING, LESS WHEN YOU'RE LOSING


arghhhhhhh


and i do the same thing with losing, play a ton then...thats when it feels like a 'job' and i tell myself it's gonna turn around and i grind it out...then i have one good day (2 hours more likely) and get even and i'm off with a big grin

poor, poor habit

Yeah he actually waited like 10 seconds or something... He got what he deserved. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Offtopicer: How does one go to $300/hr? I'd love to go there some time, when I get bored with my ~$30-$40 per hour.

Since we're OT, have you been finding what raptor says to be true about the 109'ers?
i.e. Do they generally play fairly tight early and a fairly good bubble later, somewhat similar to a 2+2 game?

Thus, the right way to play is to have a goot early game and actually know how not to fold everything other than pairs and AK.
