Some 30+3 hands I need you to look at and my first 150 results

pearljam · #1 08-01-2005, 02:36 AM

After 4 days of playing 50 a day (took 2 half days) I have finished up 150 SNG's. My results are winning $333 + $121.5 in rakeback for a total gain of $454.5 and around 10% ROI after rakeback. My long term goal is 10% ROI before rakeback, but I did have a rough start and I feel I was overall unlucky over the course of these 150 SNG's, especially in heads up matches. The thing is the last 2 tournaments I played I won, so clearly this could very easily be a much worse result. Either way im happy with this as it is my first few days and im just getting used to the grind. I lost my first 100 SNG stats so from now on im not going to refer to them, they where breakevenish anyway . Now I have my stats in order on SNG tracker and a solid day to start my confidence up high. I promise not to bore you guys with results again until I get a decent sample size, but in the meantime please continue to help me out with hands im not sure on. Thanks alot and all responces will be greatly appreciated.

Raised the flop to take it down right there/ see if I was up against a slowplayed big hand/ isolate a bad player with overcards, this is really my biggest question on this hand, should I check in this spot with so many players to the flop? Turn I checked in case he hit something or was still slowplaying. River seemed like an easy call with 330 in the pot, did I play this hand right?

Should I have led out on the flop, if so, how much? Do you like the turn play and the amouns that I raised? Can I fold on this river? I think I probably should have, but I HAD TO see what he had.

Anyway any responces would be very appreciated, thanks.
