So I went back and analyzed my 3rd and 4th place finishes. I noticed two things:
My 3rd place finishes I was really short stacked and my ratio to being ahead vs behind was just one. In my 4th place finishes I was also short stacked but my ratio to ahead vs behind was 5. SO I figured there was a possible leak in my game, specifically bubble play.
I also noticed I was heads up 12 times but only won 7 of those, another possible leak.
So I did some research and figured out I need to be more aggressive on the bubble, and in doing so that will help me get to heads up more often. Basically, I am taking more calculated risks on the bubble and possible giving up $3.60 to win $5.40 or even $9.00.
So I looked up some push fold charts, Nash Equilibrium Game Theory and SAGE Game Theories and ICM. I fired up 8 sngs and with my new found aggression on the bubble and heads up strategies and went to town. Also I am going to keep a record of the blinds and my chip stack to track how good or bad I am doing
Only one session tonight kinda under the weather and going to go to bed early.
1. 5th, A6 vs 99 2400 in chips blinds 150/300 I was on the button and pushed.
2. 1st, Q8d vs K6o he only had 1500 chips blinds 250/500 I shoved and hit
3. 1st, QJ vs AA he only had 2000 I shoved and flopped trips
4. 7th, 33 vs 88 blinds 60/120 700 chips I pushed UTG.
5. 4th, AK in the BB, SB raised I re popped he had AA, blinds 50/100 2k in chips, in hindsight I probably could have just called and whiffed the flop and possibly got away from it. The again I am only really afraid of AA, jury is still out.
6. 2nd, Hit top pair and flush draw, he flopped two pair, not sure I could get away from this hand heads up I had 3300 blinds 150/300, I was in the BB and had Qc2c maybe I should have pushed preflop, the flop was Qh9c4c, he had 94o.
7. 1st, KQ vs K3 I raised he re raised all in I called he only had 2000 chips blinds 200/400.
8. 5th, pushed K5s on the button ran into AJ blinds 100/200 had 1300 in chips.
Tonight's total +$14.40

WOW! WOW! WOW!
Wow, and not World of Warcraft. Tonight was just....Well I am at a loss for words.
I played 16 sngs tonight cashed in 6 for 37.5 percent but in the end lost $10.80 which was everything I won yesterday.
Session 1: 2/8 down $9.00(4 buy ins)
1. AJ ran into AQ which crippled me, so I pushed K9 and ran into AQ out 6th.
2. 77 vs J5 flop was all unders I pushed he called with air, rivered Jack 5th.
3. AK vs A5 he hit crippled me with 4 left, by some miracle I managed 3rd but pushed A9 and ran into KJs and he flopped the flush.
4. KK vs AK, yes you know what happened, pushed 66 vs AK he hit out 6th.
5. SS pushed T9 got called by 63 off he hit trips
6. 4th blinded out, had nothing.
7. 2nd SS hit mid pair, pushed he called with draw, and hit
8. Pushed AJ vs KT crippled me out 6th.
Session 2: 4/8 down $1.80(not quite 1 buying)
1. SS pushed K9 vs TT missed 3rd
2. SS , the short stack double twice, I managed 3rd pushed 99 ran into QQ
3. QQ found KK, I have had QQ 4 times in the last two days and have ran them into AA or KK each time 7th.
4. Flopped top 2, get it all in he turns flush. 8th
5. QQ found AA, he slow played it well out 6th
6. Flopped top pair, he riverd one of his 3 outs 2nd.
7. A9 vs A8, he hit, 3rd
8. Flop trips, run run for the flush, yeah... 7th
Totals through 48 SNGS:
ROI 16.7% what a turn around.
ITM 45.8 this is pretty good.
1st - 7
2nd - 5
3rd - 10
4th - 7
Interesting facts: with 4 left I am running 76% to cash. I will take that.
I need to review my 3rd and 4th place finishes and get them moved up one spot. If I can move up one spot I am a slight favorite to make it to first.

Three more sessions
Session One:
Went on a nice heater, Cashed in 5 out of 8, with two firsts, one second and two thirds. I bubbled twice and finished 5th in the other one. I took two horrible beats in this set. I had TT busted by 66, AK vs KJ and he flopped trip Jacks. All my other hands held up.
Session Two:
I cashed in 3, one first and two thirds. I had AJ vs 76 and he hit the straight which cost me second place. I lost a race 66 vs K7 which cost another second place finish. I had QQ run into AA twice. One interesting hand with five left I pushed with AT hoping to take the blinds and got called by 22. How you make this call is beyond me. You are 50/50 against most hands and the hands you are not your a 4 to 1 dog. Oh well he made the call I missed and out 5th.
Session Three:
5 cashes again. Two firsts, one second and 3 thirds. Not to shabby. One interesting hand was with 3 left. I raised enough to pot commit the short stack. He pushed all in and the big stack pushed all in. I had AJ and was completely lost in the hand. If I folded I had about 2k left. Well I donk called and ran into AA and KK. The short stack had AA and tripled up and I went out in thrid. Next time I should fold this hand.
Stats through 4 sessions--- 32 SNGs:
ROI 40%
ITM 50%
Profit +28.80
These number far exceed my expectations I was hoping to have and ROI of 25% but after looking at these session I did take my far share of suck outs, I gave a few too. I think if I can sustain this I might be able to move up if a few weeks. I do enjoy playing 8 tables at a time.

My first 8 tabling session!
Well I had my first 8 tabling session tonight. It was a bit overwhelming at first. It wasn't because of the volume of tables, I can easily play 6 at one time, mix and match of cash and tourneys, but rather the anticipation. I also realized that I need to take a 5 minute break in between sessions just to relax a bit.
First hand out I picked up KK and doubled up from AK. Good thing too because a few hands later I picked up AA against 99 and he flopped a set. Ironically I got AA again 5 hands later and was all in against the same guy who had AA. The best part was his complaining about it. I said pretty funny coming from you who hit a two outer on me. His come back was "The best hand won." Fish you got to love them, but hate them at the same time.
I finished with two first places victories and one second place. Ironically all the hands held up to finish those tourneys, I had JJ vs 45 and A9 vs A7 hold up in my two victories. Then A7 vs AT lost as it should be.
I finished 4th in two, I had QJ vs T3 off he rivered a 3 and AT vs 65 he flopped two pair and filled up on the turn. I win one of those and I have a bigger night.
I finished 6th when I was short stacked and pushed 88 and ran into KK.
I also finished 8th and 9th to some coolers. I had 88 with and OESD on the flop and pushed all in and got called by J4 who also had a OESD but I was counterfeiting two of his outs, needless to say he rivered a Jack.
I also flopped two pair against another two pair.
Session totals up $5.50. I will attempt this tommorrow a few more times and see how it goes.

Still running bad
I move $100 over to FT for my experimental bankroll. I still use the same bankroll management as my primary roll. I fired up 2 $2.25 sngs. I hit two pair, and my opponent goes runner runner for the flush, out 6th. The other I had AK and reshoved against a bully, got two callers, AJ and QJ, the Jack hit, out 4th. I lost another $4 on in cash when my QQ got chased down by a flush, my AK, AQ, JJ all lost after the flop.
I played 2 $5.50s on Stars placed 4th and 2nd for +$2.50 but took a $4 hit in the cash game when I ran into AA with KK and just couldnt release the hand.
The game plan is to take off the next two night. Get pumped up full of holiday cheer. The food always helps too. I plan to 8 table on FT Friday night I hope it goes better.
Well have a Merry Christmas.
FT roll $95
PS roll $460

Just and update
Since I have been running bad I decided just to play two SNGs last night. Placed 4th and 2nd for $2.50 profit.
I also moved some money over to Full Tilt to play there when I am running bad on Poker Stars.
Game plan is to play the $2 sngs there until I reach $200 then move to the $5's.
Other than that not much going on. Will try and set in a set of 4 on FT tonight and see how that goes.

Its been a while, the upcoming new year and new goals.
Well Since I last posted 6 months ago I built my bankroll from $100 to $550 as of last night. I am currently having the worst month I have ever had. I am down $140 and most of that came yesterday -$89 I played 17 sngs and only cashed in 5 and no wins. Acutually I think they were all thirds.
I have also come to the conclusion when I blog, I win more. So I plan to get serious about poker and serious about blogging.
I am going to take a break for a few days and get through the holidays. I was hoping to get my roll to $800 by the end of this month but I figure I am tilted, running bad, or have a doomswitch on my account. Who knows.
As of Jan 1st I plan to pick up the pace and number of tables. The goal is to drop all the way down to $3.40 limit and 8 table 2 to 3 sets a night. I plan to hit 100 or more sngs per week.
Details 8 table $3.40 for two weeks. I expect my ROI to be somewhere between 15 and 20 percent. My goal however is 15. This will net my 51 cents per sng on average. So that $50 a week in profit. After the two weeks I will evaluate and then determine if I should move up. Bankroll target $650
At $5.50 and the same ROI which I believe is still attainable I should see an increase of $32 per week. I will continue this for 3 weeks and then evaluate. Banroll target $900.
At $11 and same ROI, I will continue to play the same and with my same win rate get and additonal $82 per week. I will conitnue this for the entire month of Febuary.
Bankroll target $1500.
I will post my nightly results, graphs, hands I feel that are important. Please feel free to comment.

Just cant get back to even.....What is wrong
Over the last 8 Sngs I have actually won, I know can you believe it. Up 14.50. Tonight, it really looked bleak. I had QQ vs QJ, Lost, Had QQ vs AJ lost, 99 ran into AA and on the very next hand picked up QQ and ran into AA against the same guy. My saving grace for the night was this hand. I won the tourney and made .50 cents tonight.

A few more hands
So tonight I played 480 hands and netted $5 dollars. Way too little for 2.5 hours of play. Oh wait I dropped $10 in the first 5 minutes to some nasty coolers. So most of the night I was playing behind, and at one point got down $15. So any profit from that I will take.
The hand that made me profitable was AhKh. There was a raise in front of me and I had position so I decided to call. Flop was Jhh, and the preflop raiser bets out. I put him on a PP like QQ, TT, 99, AQ, AJ so I decided I would call because mathematically I was a favorite. I bricked the turn and he lead out. The river was an ace of clubs and he bet out again, but since I chased this far I have to call with the amount of money in the pot. He showed KK. Then he said the following:
NoLimitSoulja11: I hate your life you worthless piece of sh.it
NoLimitSoulja11: As.shole go play in traffic
NoLimitSoulja11: donks like you
NoLimitSoulja11: and this fu.cking site
NoLimitSoulja11: who allows dipsh.its like you to catch their shi.t
First suck out I gave in a long time and it felt good, but after this display it really felt good. I think its going to turn around for me now.
I also decided to play a token tourney on Full Tilt for 1800 points and won a $26 token which I can use to play in bigger tourneys. I hope I can turn that into cash and have a nice finish. I plan to play it on Sunday.
I will probably take the next few nights off just to wrap my head around things and take a break.

The Poker Gods must hate me this month.
I think someone really really wants me to not be profitable this month. Switched over to cash games played 1000 hands and only up $11.25. I lost $20 tonight on FT but up on PS but just barely.
Tonight was really strange, I missed every flop, ran into every cooler and everyone out drew on me. I had 10 pocket pairs in the first 20 min on one table lost every hand. It was incredible. I finally reloaded and had J8 in the BB flop top two, we got it all in and he had pocket 8's. I couldn't beat this guy, He call my preflop raise all night and hit every time.
Oh well back to the grind of work and poker tomorrow. I am hopeful to get another 1000 hands in before this weekend and try for 2000 by Sunday.

Cash Games
So I have decided to give SNGs a break. They are really frustrating me at the moment. In SNGS you risk your whole equity on A8 off and get called by Q3 because its the right thing to do. Those types of things don't happen in cash games. I would never push all in preflop with A8, why? Its just not profitable. Cash is about building pots and winning them, tourneys you have to gamble at some point because you getting blinded out. So with that I am moving back to cash for a while.
My bread and butter has been the cash game I ran $25 up to $4000 before I can do it again. I plan to play cash the rest of the month and probably next month mix in cash and tourneys we will just have to see. I also plan on playing my points for tourney entries and hope to hit a big score in one of those.
I will start playing by the 20 buyin bankroll rule which at this moment means I play .05/.10 NL because my bankroll is split between two sites. I will import all my stats into Poker Tracker and provide the details in my blog.
Two sessions so far and up $27. I have had a few interesting hands. I had QQ and the flop came J9Q rainbow. The preflop raiser bets out I reraised he just called. I figured he didn't have KT most likely a KX holding as he would have shoved after my reraise. The turn a Td which put a two flush out. He bet out $2 and I decided to call because I had a 20% chance for a redraw and figured if I hit I would stack him. The river blanked a diamond and he check and I checked and he showed AK. Personally I would have bet the river, my reraise on the flop doesn't suggest diamonds but most likely a QX. If he comes over the top then I have a decsion.
The other hand I had my top set of 8s out run by runner runner straight. I bet it the whole way and he chased with nothing and hit the gutshot on the river. Oh well, I love these guys in cash games.

I can't beat luck
Thats my new phrase. Check out this hand.
Rant On -----
On line poker is rigged. It has to be. There is just know way I can be running this bad. I consistently get my money in way ahead just to get sucked out on. I have had it with this one.
Poker Stars is dead to me. I have dropped $90 this month on suck out after suck out, it truely amazing. I win this hand I win the SNG.

This month is all about taking suck outs. If my hands would hold up I would be unstoppable. The reality is I know I will get sucked out on, its just the large number of suck outs I have had in the last two weeks has been unreal. Tonight I went 3/5 down $2.50 because I played two $11 sns, lost them both, on to A6 vs 55 I flopped A6 he caught a set, and top pair with nut flush draw and missed and he out kicked me.
The two I cashed one was for a first and the other a second in which I had a huge chip lead and lost to 3 suck outs in a row before I finally had to go all in because I was short stacked, and I out flopped him only to have him catch the flush on the river.
I started to play some cash to help the varience this month. Won $18 in the cash game so I am back up for the month. A whopping $7.50. I hope my SNG luck changes soon, a nice run puts me back to even for the month on Stars.

This month is all about taking suck outs. If my hands would hold up I would be unstoppable. The reality is I know I will get sucked out on, its just the large number of suck outs I have had in the last two weeks has been unreal. Tonight I went 3/5 down $2.50 because I played two $11 sns, lost them both, on to A6 vs 55 I flopped A6 he caught a set, and top pair with nut flush draw and missed and he out kicked me.
The two I cashed one was for a first and the other a second in which I had a huge chip lead and lost to 3 suck outs in a row before I finally had to go all in because I was short stacked, and I out flopped him only to have him catch the flush on the river.
I started to play some cash to help the varience this month. Won $18 in the cash game so I am back up for the month. A whopping $7.50. I hope my SNG luck changes soon, a nice run puts me back to even for the month on Stars.

Poker Reads
Opponent reads are so important, but also so deadly. I remember watching Kenny Tran at last years WSOP. He was making so many sick calls and it was paying off. Sometimes though, your completly wrong. He are some hands played last night and my reads on them, some good and some bad.
There is no way he checks the flop if he hits top pair after limping. So I just called.

I knew he didnt have a king, he bet the whole way so why not bet for value on the river. I tried to value bet the river making him think I had the king but I guess I didnt bet it right.

Moved back to Poker Stars tonight, the beating continued. Lost all 4 sngs now I am down $8.00 for the month.
Bust out hands:
K9 vs A8 flop two pair he turns trips, out 4th
22 vs KQ he flops a flush, a race I know but was short on chips
AA vs A9 he rivers flush, all in preflop. out 4th on this one
55 vs AQ he hits straight, I figured I was racing but I was the SS so I had too, out 4th.
There is no way he checks the flop if he hits top pair after limping. So I just called.

The Irony of poker
So I am up for the month and feeling pretty good. Confidence has been restored! Then these hands happen.
A funny little hand. I played this hand because I was gettting about 3 to 1 preflop, I closed the betting preflop and I figured I would get all his chips if I hit. Who knew?

Tonights totals 2/4 with two second place finishes for $5 profit. Man building a bankroll this way is tough. I really do need to play more.
A funny little hand. I played this hand because I was gettting about 3 to 1 preflop, I closed the betting preflop and I figured I would get all his chips if I hit. Who knew?

The long road to somewhere.
Well things have gotten better. I am now officall up for the month. A whopping $9.00 so being down $40 ish to start to be up $9.00 took a long two weeks. My goals for this month are too long away for me to reach. So I will adjust my goals and just try and make it through this run of cards and hope to come out up $80 for the month.
My last SNGS bust out hands: 12 sngs 6 cashs two 1st, three 2nds and one 3rd.
SS pushed with 44 ran into TT
pushed with A9 while SS ran into KK
Goes Runner Runner for the gutshot str8 to beat me
99 vs K9 turns a king
K7 vs 75 he hits str8, flop two pair he goes RR for str8
QQ vs 6d4d he flops trips and turns quads
SS with pushed KQ vs AT
KQ vs K7, came from way behind
SS BB K8 flopped top pair, he had over pair
SS with 4 caught some cards won every race
Guy caught all the cards, I couldn’t beat him, he out flopped
SS raised and called reraise with AT ran into QQ missed
TT vs AQ he hit them both
I hope this run keeps up.

K7 vs 75 he hits str8, flop two pair he goes RR for str8
QQ vs 6d4d he flops trips and turns quads
SS with pushed KQ vs AT
KQ vs K7, came from way behind
SS BB K8 flopped top pair, he had over pair
SS with 4 caught some cards won every race
Guy caught all the cards, I couldn’t beat him, he out flopped
SS raised and called reraise with AT ran into QQ missed
TT vs AQ he hit them both
I hope this run keeps up.

Is it turning around
Well I jumped on Full Tilt to see if I could change my luck. I only played 2 sngs just in case. In the first one I had AA cracked by JJ, and AA cracked by 76 which put me out in 7th on the first one.
The second one my hands held up and I ended up taking first place. Now I am only down $14.00 for the month so things could be getting better. Tonight I will try and fire up 4 more sngs and see what happens.

Its not getting any better.
Thats right its not! I am begining to think I forgot how to play this game and all my past success was just luck. My last 8 Sngs I am still not showing a profit. Down $25.50 for the month.
SNG-1 Card dead, pushed with JT got called by K3 3rd.
SNG-2 Flopped the nuts, he goes run run for flush, cripples me 4th
SNG-3 SS pushed with 56 blinds 300/600 4k in chips he had 88, 2nd
SNG-4 AJ vs 97 off 3rd
SNG-5 Got cards with 3 left had huge chips heads up, My only win in 20 SNGS.
SNG-6 SS pushed with 44 got called by A8 hit 8 out 4th
SNG-7 KK vs 99 vs 55 hits a 5 out 6th would have cashed if this holds up
SNG-8 Flopped two pair, he rivers gut shot, couldnt put hin on that hand so a bad read crippled me, TT vs A9 hits them both
Finally I suck out and get a cash out of it

Bad Bad Bad run of cards.
I have had down swings before but this one is taking the cake.
Horrible Run of cards to start the month of July. I have played 13 sngs this month and only 3 cashes. I have hit suck out after suck out or cooler after cooler starting the month off with a bang.
SNG 1 - hit top pair he hit 4 card straight
SNG 2 - QQ vs AK hit set he hit 4 card flush
SNG 3 - SS pushed with AQ ran into AA
SNG 4 - QQ ran into KK
SNG 5 - KK vs 99, crippled me then 79 vs 56 hit top two he hit straight
SNG 6 - AQ vs AK , I was Chip Leader he was Second in chips out 4th
SNG 7 - QJ vs A4
SNG 8 - hit straight he hit boat
SNG 9 - Short Stacked pushed with Top pair guy calls with flush draw hits
SNG 10 - SS pushed AT ran into AJ finished 4th
SNG 11 - K9 vs A9 I bet all in on OESD and he called we both missed crippled me
SNG 12 - Short Stacked pushed with 8s7s got slow rolled by KK.
SNG 13 - Hit flush he hit bigger flush
My two hands of glory, I thought this would turn it around.

My 3 cashed 2-seconds 1-third. I was the cl so many times and ran into those coolers or suck outs. Hopefully they will start holding up. Bottom Line down $35.50 to start the month. Its going to be tough to reach $180 for the month now.

Back to the SNG Grind
Played 4 Sngs tonight, for 3 cashes, a first, second and thrid. Ironically I placed fourth in the other sng. The bust out hand on that one was pretty sad. I was pretty much card dead so I was the short stack. On my blind to a button raise I pushed with 8s9s and he ended up having AQ and took me out. The thrid place I pushed with pocket fives and got called by Q8 off by the big stack. Classic race.
In the one I won I started behind by 5 to 1. We grind it out for about 20 minutes or so when we finally get it all in. I had AK he had A6 and my hand held up and I crippled him. We went grinded it out some more until this hand. The guy said it was a bad call, but he lost so he doesnt count. Anyways you be the judge.

Saturday Night Mulit Table Tourneys
I have decided awhile back that Saturday nights I would dedicate to Muti Table Tournaments. Since the time involved I cant really do it on any other night so I figured since I started this blog and decided to take poker a little more serously than I have in the past 9 months that I should start tonight. Besides playing SNG all the time is simply boring.
I will be playing these MTTs and some .05/.10 cash games on FT and will keep my bankrolls seperate from my SNG challenge. Stating bankroll on FT $110.
I am shooting for 20% ITM on these and any positive ROI since I dont have anything to go on. So tonight I played 3 MTT, 2 $3.30 knockouts and a $2.20 MTT with 288 entrants.
Earlier to day I picked up a quick $5 in a cash game so I was pretty much free rolling 2 tourneys tonight.
The $3.30 were knock out tourneys where if you knock someone out you get 50 cents. In the first tourney I pretty much was card dead and then with 66 left I picked up AhQh. I raised preflop got 3 callers. Flop came Q,heart,heart. Me and another guy get it all in. He turns over Q9 no hearts and of course rivers a 9, and not the 9 of hearts.
In the second knockout I was pretty much card dead and short stacked with 22 left. Picked up some big hands and got to 9th with 13 left. I pick up AQ on the button raise all in and get called by the SB who of course had AK. I end up going out 13, 4 way from a cash.
In the $2.20 I was pretty much card dead and finaly pushed and busted out 90th. I think that was the only hand I played. Well 0 for 3 isnt a great start hopefully next weekend will be better. I will be back to playing SNGs tomorrow so stay tuned for those updates. FT bankroll $108 so only down $2, thank goodness I can still play cash games.

What goes around comes around
The Frist hand of the night: I put Stevo on a big ace and was going to check raise his continuation bet but the BB ruined my plan. I put him on a ten and we get it all in. Good thing I was wrong. Scary turn card, had to sweat the river now. Its not like runner runner couldnt happen.

My first bust out AT vs 96 raise preflop got two callers flop was A66 I was short so I pushed who knew out 6th
My second bust out came with KJ vs AK I was so short I just pushed with any two paint in position and ran into a big hand in the BB.
The next 4 I cashed in: two first, one second and one third.
Overall Stats through 16 SNGs:
ITM 43.8%
ROI 17.6% wow thought it might take a couple of nights to get back what I lost.
Total Profit $15.50 not to shabby. Going to try and push my ROI over 20% tomorrow. Hope I can.

The First Night
Well the pressure is on. The First night I got hit pretty hard. I wanted to start off on a good foot, but that didnt happen. Here is a summary of my first 10 sngs.
ITM 30% but no wins.
ROI -34.5% yes I know its negative
Finishes 2 seconds, 1 third and 4 bubbles. Ouch I know.
In the bubble finishes I have been hit pretty hard. One hand hits run run gut shot to take me out. Another QQ vs 99 all in after the flop and he turns a set and only had two outs at the time. I dont know what people are thinking. I was Short Stacked and pushed with KQ and got called by A8 and he hit both on the flop and the other was just a plain cooler. I was Short again and pushed with 33 hoping for a race and ran into 66.
In the two second place finishes I had AA cracked by 3d4d. I raised preflop pretty big. I hit a set on the flop, but he hit flush draw and a pair. He went on to catch the flush. In the other one I had AJ vs A8 and you know what happened.
Other notable hands I had AA cracked by JJ which took me out 6th. I had a set cracked by a turned straight. I ran into AA 3 times last night with JJ, AQ and the flop was AQ, ouch and I was SS after the JJ vs AA so I pushed the very next hand in the small blind agains a lone limper and he called and had AA. Back to Back.
So the first night wasnt very good. Down $19.00 already. I hope to get it back tomorrow, if the cards can hold up and I can avoid the coolers.

The Setup
Goals:
Obvisouly $5k, secondary goal WSOP 2009 $1500 event.
Parameters:
Parameter 1. $300 dollars at Poker Stars.
Parameter 2. SNGs only.
Parameter 3. I cannot cash out until I reach $5k.
Rules, well there is only one rule, win!
In all seriousness I will stick to a 40 buy-in limit to keep it simple.
I will blog my results here daily or as close to daily as possible. I will also describe my plays and or opinons of my plays. I would welcome anyone to comment on those plays. I will post hands and leave it up for discussion.
I am setting my goals for the $5.50 sngs to an ROI of 20% with an ITM of 40% This basically means I plan on average to make $1.10 on each sng I play at this level. With an estimate of 30 to 50 sngs a week it should take me 2 weeks to move up to the $10 level.
Wish me luck. Tonight the trials begin.
