Re: I think I have to quit...(NC)
I guess I'm not sure what the point of this post was. For some reason, I felt compelled to reply.
About all I can conclude from your post was that you were playing SnG's. What you described happens. In fact, not uncommonly. I think the "long run" in SnG's is much longer than the "long run" in limit or no-limit ring games. You just made a post complaining about a modest winning streak over 36 SnG's. That is roughly the equivalent of complaining about a modest winning streak over 1000 hands of NL ring. If you can't deal with that, good luck with the grind of NL 50. |

Re: I think I have to quit...(NC)
Dont you think taking a bad beat in a NL game will hurt you more than a bad beat in a sng? You lose 11 or 22, depending on which level you are playing. I think taking a bad beat on a sng is much, much easier to swallow than taking it in a cash game. stay positive...

Completely off topic hijack, but good to see you back, pergesu. You've helped me plug what I'm now are pretty sure were leaks. I hope this means you're also experiencing a better side of varience than before.

Re: I think I have to quit...(NC)
"After tonight, I have just under 2000 SNG's between the 10's and the 20's. Between the 2 I have a 13% ROI. I am a winning player, although as you can tell, just barely."
13% is not "just barely". "and then the BB assuming I'm making a move on them when I have shown nothing but good hands." 1. So you want Q4 to fold when you have aces? My least favorite idiot move in the $22s is the shortstack in the blinds with 1.5 BBs who folds when I've got queens. 2. Winning SNG play involves getting involved with a wide range of hands. 13% ROI player |= person who only shows down good hands. Not that there is any chance the other players remember what happened more than a hand or two ago. But most importantly, you [censored] made money. I've finished 1st _twice_ in the past 72 SNGs I've played. You think that's 3.5% ROI? |

Re: I think I have to quit...(NC)
I agree with the above that you're maybe not as winning a player as you think if you're willing to QUIT over a winning day. I've only had 2 winning days out of the last 10. After being up about 10k over the last two months of SnG's, I have lost over a grand in the last week and a half. It sucks ass, I posted something whining about it too (which was stupid on my part cause no one wants to hear it)...but if you're willing to QUIT over it...then I don't think you have 2k SnG's with a 13% ROI.
Anyway...good luck with whatever form of higher-variance poker you decide to try. |

you should not play poker, ever again, in any form, other than blind mans bluff.
