I landed under that one. But hey, limit isnt THAT bad. Sure, It's kinda boring, but I learned something from 8 tabling sng's 40 hour a week. They are kinda boring too after the 1st 1000 or so...

The most important question you can ask yourself about your SNG game is "how well am I moving my chips."

I did a search, but couldn't find the spreadsheet that tracks this.

I'm sure The Shadow can help you out with this query....

hey thanks everyone for the replies... i'm definitely going to start working harder on the bubble play... and i guess at least i'm not losing money while i'm learning... hopefully after a while i'll learn enough so that even in crappy streaks i can remember that i'm an above avg player [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I think you will be much better served to focus on play rather than results.

I try--I'm much better about not throwing things every time some 2-outer draws out on me. Problem is, it's hard to tell someone, "Hey, look how much better I'm playing since I've been on 2+2," without something tangible (however unreliable) to quantify how much better "better" really is. And unless you want to wait a couple years until you have 10,000 SNG's in your spreadsheet (a couple hours in Raptor's case), you gotta work with what you got.

The only other method I can think of assess your SNG abilities is to keep a spreadsheet of how viciously people respond to the hands you post (take off extra points if someone has to pull out a "Do you see why?").
