Results for 435 $109 SnG's

[Bozeman]

I started, several years ago, at UB at $5 (with a buyin of $100), quickly moved to $10, found that Paradise games were much easier, moved up through 20 and 30 to fifty (I didnt stay at 30 long because I found the players at 50 easier to read). I moved up when I felt I was the best player at a typical table, and that I wasn't a weak player at the next level. I also played a fair number of MTT's (including live).

At this point I spent most of my bankroll on a trip. (I had found Party by this time, but I felt Paradise was better because of 1000 vs 800 chips and about one extra level). After the trip, my bankroll was under $500, so I played $30's to get it to ~$600 and then moved back up to 50. When Party changed their 50+'s to 1000 chips, I moved over there (at this point MTT variance was getting to me, so I started playing more SnG's). A short time at the 50's and a look at the play at the 100's convinced me to try them (coupled with the nice run I had at the start). I don't remember what my bankroll was at that time, but it was around $5k.

YMMV,
