December - the 180 man SNG challenge

[The Don]

They are pretty fun. Small sample size but I have a 529% ROI after 17 [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]... I seriously think that if I played an infinite amount my ROI would be around 300%... the play is THAT bad.

GL. You are likely to see me if you play late in the evenings as I've started playing 3 or 4 of these a night about 1 week ago.

I'd play more if I had a bigger bankroll, but I have played 2. Made the final table once; entered the final table in 2nd, busted out in 9th to the chip leader. I didn't play any poker for about a week I was so mad at myself. The play is so bad I have considered playing a few more despite the risk, but haven't yet.

My very first one I get owned, TP versus top two. The players are really, really terrible. Like raising to 150 preflop in level one and calling a big reraise with KJo terrible.

I feel goot about these things, definitely.

Ya, I keep expecting to get crushed by big hands, only to find out the guy called his whole stack off on an ISSD or middle pair. These things are highly +EV!

[DeadMoneyOC]

Can someone give me info about the payout structure of these tournaments? Are they better than the mini-steps on PP?

They arent STTs. They are 180 player tournaments. Top prize is like 1k.

[FrogMouth]

Didn't I just warn you of those donkeys calling off their stack on an inside straight draw?

[ClaytonN]

Wow, I really hate finishing 31st after focusing for 2 hours 15 minutes, pushing for 9BB in the CO with Q2s and getting called in the BB with KQs. Argh.

This is mentally frustrating...
