100 SNG's in one day set for friday!

Dali,

I stopped in to watch your marathon [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] too. Saw some of those horrible suckouts and I felt your pain. Instead of playing two tables today I played one and watched one of yours. Thanks for letting us know about the event and allowing us to search your name. Made finding you a lot more convenient. I noticed that you seemed to be up about .10 buyins during the first half but you ended up down (.02) in the end. I will be interested to hear what your analysis of the second half was like and why you think it tailed off.

well, i started off bad, as i usually do for some reason, but right around game 20-35, i cashed in about 10 of 15, which put me at a high water mark of up about $1600. The early suckouts KK vs my AA were disheartening, but i tried to put them out of my head. After my nap, I felt like I was starting anew and was ready to crush,and was doing decent until the beats started getting more and more ludicrous, with several runner runnners and dominateds that had no business being in the pot, and although it affected my resolve, i dont think it affected my game too much other than me playing non-paired hands a bit more carefully vs. players i knew were unlikely to fold, which DID cost me in a couple of instances, but these were offset by me hitting a few big hands that they would not have called much for earlier when i saw their hands.
Also, somewhere in the middle, i won about 4 of 5 HU mutches to bring my 1st's and 2nd's close to even, but then i started getting a lot of 3rd's from a chip lead when someone made a crying call preflop 3 handed for their stack and either hit a 40/60, a dominated or a small pair held up, thus droppping MY big stack. LOtta 4th's also, because of people calling reraises w/ crap like KT and 66 when they had chips to fold the hand, and those were hitting/holding up alot too. It'd be different i guess if i had a loose/aggressive image, but I don't, and calling ANY of those hand vs my reraise is just plain wrong. I suppose i want those calls, but man, it woulda been nice if a few of those fell my way.....

Your accounting... just curious, when I do the math, I have you down more than $515:

buyins: 100*215=$21,500

9 firsts = $9000
12 seconds = $7200
12 thirds = $2400

total = $18,600

$18,600 - $21,500 = -$2900.

Do you get some kind of rebate, or did you (or I) figure wrong?

[Daliman]

you figured wrong. You computed 3rd as worth $200 @; they're worth $400 @.

[allenciox]

silly me, sorry about that ;-)

Daliman,
A valiant effort. Not many would have the balls to try it. Far less would have the huevos to do it at $215. Sorry it didn't come out as well as you hoped, but you had, (and have) a lot of supporters. If you try it again, we'll be sweating with you.

Hey Daliman,

Congrats on making it all the way through - sorry the beats prevented your results from being better though.

Quick question, what's your take on the $200 games during the day vs night? Are they any tougher?

[Daliman]

I definitely notice the night(usa time)games are looser. I had a lot of regulars earlier in the day, including probably 10+ games w/ Kirill Gerasimov in the field(if it's him, KirillG, and i think it is). Also, weekends much looser too.
