$50+$5 SNG Challenge on PartyPoker

#1 11-01-2005, 05:37 AM

I've decided to embark on a SNG challenge on the $50 level beginning this week. I'll try and get through 1000 SNGs and see how my stats go, then post them here. Wish me luck!

I would, but I play there, don't want you having my luck [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] So, I'll say good luck as long as you don't play on my tables.. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Sorry if it does not interest you Megabet.

As with all "challenges" here, you will update this thread less and less and we'll never know how you did because you will lose interest as the reality of what you are trying to do sinks in.

I agree most people can't follow through with their challenges (I got a medical prob when I tried my last the $20k in 30 days one).

I got motivation though. When I've done it I get to retire, apart from the 1hr/day needed for sportsbetting.

I've already gotten through 50 SNGs last night. Today, I hope to complete 100. I'll post an update soon.

I realize how much of a grind it is to play 1000 SNGs, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Done with 180 SNGs so far...my raw base stats so far are 17.08% ROI and my ITM is 37.8%. So far, not getting burnt out yet, but I can definetely see myself slowing down after 300 or so. Will post complete stats update at the end of tomorrow or Thursday.

I am officially slowing down because I feel like a machine, pumping out 10 SNGs/hour. The good news is I'm 30.4% through the challenge, playing night and day. Here are my stats so far:

1000 SNG Challenge ($50+$5)
Total: 304
1st 45 Total Winnings: $2,580
2nd 35 Winnings/SNG: $8.49
3rd 28 Hourly Wage: $50.92
4th 39 ROI: 15.43%
5th 30 ITM: 35.53%
6th 35
7th 29 Total Invested: $16,720
8th 22 Total Returned: $19,300
9th 31
10th 10 Time Invested: 50.67

I seem to be getting 1st, 4th, and 6th the most. I usually like to get aggressive near the end, thus resulting in either a lot of chips or a bubble bust. My ROI is not as high as I would like it to be. I was aiming for around 18% and I had that for the first 150 SNGs, but since then it has declined to 15.5%. Anyways, just wanted to make sure I dropped an update. I'm thinking of taking two days off before pumping out more SNGs, since my head is fried right now.
