I congratulate you from the bottom of my ugly, shrivelled, hate-and-jealousy filled heart, Unarmed! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I also really get the impression that Unarmed is very sharp and asks the right questions, and it really doesnt surprise me that he is beating the crap out of party sngs. And as someone who has made a transition from sng and mtt to ring games, I really feel like Unarmed has the game to beat tougher games. I also feel like he'll eventually get bored with SNGs as do many players who realize that other forms of poker are much more intellectually stimulating. If you ever decide to make the move to nl ring or something, I hope you continue to send me PMs.

Good job dan,
-Jason

What Unarmed did to become a great player was master a few key skills that are not discussed very often on this forum:

1. Playing the blinds for a profit
2. Playing good hands for value
3. Inducing and snapping-off bluffs
4. Manipulating pot size and betting impetus to minimize the risk of going broke while extracting adequate chips in +EV situations.

I'm glad you posted this because it are angles like these that I have been working on/implementing over the past couple of weeks that have greatly improved my results.

After setting a goal in late April of making SNGs a viable source of income, I've spent the past four months playing, studying and thinking poker. Although along the way I got sidetracked after reading several books (HOH2, Zee's hi-lo book, 7CSFAP, and others) into playing Multi-table tournaments, Hi-lo, stud, and HE ring games while continuing to work on my SNG game and strategy.

Recently though, with a revamped focus on SNGs, all four months of studying poker and its different variations have seemed to culminate in an inflection point like moment where all of a sudden things have begun clicking for me in SNGs and my profits have shot way up. I'm beginning to notice more and more situations that I've experienced before, not SNGs decisions, but poker decisions in general. Part of this revelation may just be experience kicking but I also believe that through studying and thinking about the game (not just SNGs buy poker in general), hands that I've played and situations I've been in I'm starting think about SNGs as a poker player and simply a person that plays SNGs.

So congrats to Unarmed and thanks to Irieguy for this post. And hopefully at some point in the next 5-6 months I too will have the luxury of settling in at the higher levels.

Hey Jason,

Intellectual stimulation is overrated. Let's cut to the chase. Are you raking more dough in your new games?

Personally, I wouldn't mind hearing a Pooh-bah post on how you made your way from the 5+1s to the 109s [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I second this, also a brag about your 100+9 roi would be cool.
