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.

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.
ITM 30% but no wins.

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.
