Thanks man. The SNG grind just isn't that much fun for me right now and I can't help but think you feel the same. Why else would ya be playing 3/6 when you can be making gazillions of dollars 12-tabling the 215s [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

aside from the 'gazillion' dollars I'm playing 3/6 because you can't get SNGs in casinos

My steps to becoming a winning player:

#1. Read SSH hold'em
#2. Get some practice is. 2/4 is a good place for beginners. I'd keep playing sit+go's if its your bread and butter. Get 20k hands in or so. Post some hands, your PT stats,
#3. Reread Small stakes Hold'em. Play another 20k hands. Post more hands. Get used to playing 2, than 3, than finally 4 tables at a time.
#4. Read Hold'em Poker for Advanced players
#5. Move up to 3/6 on Party. Start with the full, then move to 6 max. Get another 10k hands in. Start posting in the HUSH (Heads up and short handed) forum, get used to shorthanded play.
#6. Read some more books, esp. on shorthanded play
#7. Start playing some 5/10 6 max.
