OT: My initial forray into SNG's (Thanks STTF)

Let me first start by saying thanks to alot of the poster here who have given me advice as for the last 3-4 months I have gone from a losing SNG player to a winning one. I know I still have a lot to learn but I'm giving it a go. That said I do have a full-time job which I am very happy with and an active social life so poker as great as it is does not dominate my life. I have put in about 800 SNG's since joining 2+2 and I want to make a record for myself as much as anyone else of how I went in the start.

Below is an image of my sharkscope stats as of yesterday.
Towards the end I played 4 16's again and did alright, I think I am planning on mixing a set of 16's in my play everynow and again before I think I am ready to move up again.



Obv. from looking at the graph I still have a few leaks that need to be sorted out but I think I have the fundamentals almost sorted.

Thanks again guys....and for greatness

try just playing like for example in a set of 9 like 6 6s and 3 16s or somthing

When I go to play I generally do a few different ways of playing.

1. 6 tables tiled (most common)
2. 5 tables tiled watching TV/Downloads in the other part of screed (Usually it's poker I have been watching the PPV telecast of the mainevent recently which is good cos I don't really need to concentrate on it.) I know this is -EV but as I said I work full-time and I like to make the most of my down time.
3. 9-12 tiled Usually reserved for weekends. (fits with a slight overlap on my 22" monitor)
4. When I played the 16's in order to concentrate better on them I only had 4 going and really put the effort into each one.

I will probably add more tables when I feel like I am beating them comfortably.

Are you sure about this?!
From your graph your running a 7% on 6.5?!?! Honestly, your a marginal winner at this level. Look at FAQ for ROI. You should be around 10-15% at least.

Please learn BR management. Play with at least 50 buyins especially with turbos and even more. Read FAQ here again [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Anyway congrats on becoming profitable on SnGs, now you have to gain confidence, fix those leaks and move up when you have enought buyin to play without playing scared.
