Default And on a more positive note...

Lately it seems like a lot of regulars are on some (major) downswings. I appreciate their honesty, and I enjoy reading suggestions of other posters, as I'm sure the knowledge will come in handy when "it" happens to me (and I know it will).

However, I also enjoy hearing about good runs people have over long stretches of SNGs. Anyone have killer stats from the last month or so? I find them encouraging. People couldn't be pros if they weren't long term winners, and you can't be a long term winner without short term success. If not stats on a mass quantity of SNGs, has anyone had a grandslam lately? Or has anyone finished in the money X out of X+3 times, where X is a number greater than the number of man crushes SFB has?

I'm having an awesome December so far.

11s - 18 games / 76.77% ROI / +$152
22s - 28 games / 49.35% ROI / +$304
33s - 50 games / 20.00% ROI / +$330
55s - 2 games / 263.64% ROI / +$290
Overall: 98 games / 41.8% ROI / +$1076

This is very good for me.

Since 11/1 my ROI has been 32.77% over about 200 SnGs. (about 140 $27s and 60 $60s)

Yes, I suck at playing lots of SnGs, but the few I play I pwn at.

I'm 3 for 3 in $500 HU SNGs today, which rocks.

PS-That also makes me 3 for 3 lifetime when I don't have either 11 Heinekens or 2 bottles of wine in me when I play them.

Stats are on another computer, but I've made more so far in December than I did in all of November. So, I'm happy right now.

I had a grand salami last month (first ever)...My roll is only a few hundred above that mark now...lol. Funny how I used to think BR increases were "gradual". Instead I find it involves a short burst where it shoots up, and then simple damage control when you're not running well

breaking even is great when, given the same circumstances a year ago, I wouldve lost 500 or something over that same stretch.

i've played 124 109s so far this month, with a 28.7% ROI... 8-tabling.. haven't been working myself too hard.

and on Nov. 27, I had two grandslams in the same day at the 109s (a grandslam is 4 1st places in a row, yes?... if not, then I just had whatever 4 1st places in a row is, twice... separated by only 7 OTM finishes) which is the first time that's happened for me...

of course, I played a buttload of SNGs that day though (relatively... 66 SNGs in one day is a lot for me)

Well, the 5.5k from a 2nd in the Party 40k is still sitting in my bank account and it makes me feel like an all-start every time I go to the ATM.

This is so true. I used to think I sucked because my profit chart would go: upswing for 20-30, breakeven for 30-40, upswing for 20-30, breakeven . . .

(Unfortunately the last few weeks have looked more like downswing for 20-30, breakeven for 30-40, downswing for 20-30, breakeven . . . [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img])
