Default Re: Week-long prop bet

Enigmaedge -- Welcome to the forums. If you have $100 and prefer SNGs, I'm going to give have to give you some boring advice, but I think it's the best. Play a ton of SNGs. You should be able to play the $3s. When you feel like you're crushing those, take a shot at the $5s and $6s and so forth. Keep on keeping 30 (or whatever number you choose -- see the STTF FAQ) buyins in reserve and taking shots. Study the STTF forums; there are some SNG experts in there. (The names in green are all worth reading, as are, off the top of my head, Gramps and ryanghall.) Good luck. (And FT = "Final Table.")

THEOSU -- Man, if my MTT management skills were more expert I would have done that. Too much time in the LHE forums for me, I guess.

All -- So many of my hands were non-NLHE hands that I can't give complete graphs. But soon I'll be able to at least give graphs for my ring game NLHE and, assuming I can get various programs to do what I want them to do, most of my last run of SNGs (NLHE SNGs, at least).

Also -- WTF I CAME SO CLOSE TO MAKING A VERY DEEP RUN IN THE MILLION. Turns out that even when you amass 300K chips in one of these things, you still only have a handful of big blinds. Who knew. Of course, I'm very satisfied, seeing as I just put 1/8 of my online roll on a tournament and quintupled my buyin.
