how do you feel about not taking every +EV SB push?

[/ QUOTE ]

If a move is +EV I'm taking it. However, SNGPT isn't the be all end all of EV though. Taking every "+EV" push from the small blind that ICM tells you is dumb. ICM isn't perfect, and a lot of times you gain more by folding to preserve your stack and letter the other people be morons than will show up in your ICM calcs.

Why are you doing a Well post in the SnG forum when you haven't played SnGs in months?

Man this is a weird forum.

Cool.

Please talk about your earn rate over the last year or so, i.e. where you played and what levels and what your ROI was and is before and after the legislation.

About a year ago 6 tabled continuously the party 109 speeds. After 6 months of playing my ROI was 8% over 7000 or so tournaments. I think this comes out to about $100/hr once rakeback is factored in. I moved to cash right before the doomsday, and haven't really played SNGs post-Frist. Nowadays I'm playing .5/1 NL HU and 6max mainly on full tilt for 4ptbb/100 8 tabling (when 6max) for around $60/hr.

What levels have you played during your career?

Did you experience any "humps" in terms of understanding / playing ability that took a while to overcome at some of them?

I have played SNGs from 5.50 on pacific in my earliest days to taking shots at the 215s and 530s on party just before the fristing. The highest I ever played regularly was the 109s.

Cash games I have played from .05/.10 to .5/1 live and .05/.10 to 25/50 NL and .5/1 to 10-20 limit online. I only ever shortstacked 25/50 and 10/20 NL, the highest my regular game in cash has been was 1-2, but full stacked up to 5-10 occasionally.

As for humps, first realizing at cash that you can completely pwn people in position was big. Also, when in SNGs when I realized the difference between a 10bb push into my 5bb stack vs a 5bb push into my 10bb stack in the ranges was huge. Seems kinda basic, but it was really important. Aso, when I first got SNGPT and realized how wide I could be shoving from the SB was pretty big.

What are your top three "revelations" that made you a better poker player?

[/ QUOTE ]

the three in mentioned in replying to eurym probly. thought em2 talking about his thoughts on the importance of being the preflop agressor was pretty big. basically in cash games with position you reraise a lot and oop you fold to raises.

I almost never posted in any of the NL cash forums. Plus I figured a lot of the questions would be non-poker related and these people know me better.
