You know you\'re a SNG junkie when...
 
1) You dream about busting a huge bubble.

2) You consider 80% and up on a final exam to be "ITM".

3) You've completely forgotten what post-flop poker feels like.

4) You see Fe on the Periodic Table of Elements in chemistry class and think Fold Equity.

5) You think of prices in terms of number of buyins.

8) You're always thinking I could be making $xx per hour playing SNGs instead of this.

1.) When your life includes Yugo "drop-ins"
2.) When you spend 12 hours/day at your "job" w/o complaining
3.) You don't know most of your "friend's" first or last names [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
4.) You can't sleep because you "didn't" win $100,000

i.e. Which lane to choose at the grocery store.

It was a home game with 7 players.

Second hand the guy to my right busts 2 players with a straight. The next hand UTG goes all in with AK and 77 call, I call in BB with AA and I hold. The next hand, short stack goes all in with A7 and I call out of BB with AQ and flop a Q. Heads up I am in SB with J7 of clubs and I call, BB checks. Flop was 89T with 2 clubs: He bet, I raise and he goes all in and I call. He has J7o and i turn my flush...I win

I once played a 22 and busted every single person at the table. I'm not sure if this is a rarity or not, but if it is rare, then yes I am a poker god.

I have a party SNG where i pushed every hand and won in like 20 or so. I have the Hand history if people really want to see it. It is quite unbelievable.

I entered a 30+3 at Eurobet and finished 2nd without ever opening the table. Support told me I could play up to 6 tables, so I registered for 6, but could only open 4 tables and never opened this tournament. Amazingly, I ended up with a 2nd place. The truly sad thing is that it clearly says "AWAY", when someone isn't connected and neither 3rd nore 4th was smart enough to wait me out.

I saw too felt letter A's on my friends front hall table sitting next to one another. My thought process was:

- Alcoholics Anonymous
- Aces
- Assistant captain's lettering for a hockey jersey

They actually ended up being letters for hockey jerseys, but the fact that those 3 thought hit me so fast seemed pretty funny to me.

I did that a month or so after I started playing seriously and thought I was the absolute nuts. Still not very sure how common it is although I imagine lots of people on here have done it at some stage.

Yea, it is just so funny when after seeing me push 15 times in a row, people ahead of me still call the blind and then fold when I went all in. It is hillarious.
