Just a little challege for myself.

Well, ive been seein alot of stuff about poker calculators lately.
An how if following what calculator says u cant lose. I think there dam stupid by following what it says. An what if you get to a table and everyone is doing what calculator says it will be world smost boring game last for days.

N e way moveing on calculator advertisers say you will finish in top 3 7 out of 10 times in a sit n go.

i decided to see what i could do in 10 sit n gos (i never use calculators) just useing my own skills and luck.

On pokerstars ill be playing 10 $3.40 buyin sit n goes. Becuase im only 18 and not rich :P

Bank balance start of the day: 57 dollers.
Being just me i be wanting to break even atleast by the end of the day.


Game 1:Finished 1st = 15 dollers
Game 2: Finished 4th = 0
Game 3:finished 6th = 0
Game 4:Finished 2nd = 9 dollers
Game 5:Finished 5th = 0
Game 6:Finished 1st = 15 doller
Game 7:Finished 3rd = 6 dollers
Star of game 8 dealt an flopped this:

Game 8:finished 1st = 15 dollers
Game 9:finished 3rd = 6 dollers
Strange but true in game 9 got
Game 10 finished:3rd = 6 doller

Spent: 34 dollers
Won: 72 dollers
Profit:38 dollers
Finihsed in top 3 7/10 times
Won. 3
2nd 1
3rd 3
Bank now 95 dollers

Am happy with my play an if i had calculator it would take the fun out of the game. i know my profit wasnt much because of there only 3.40 tables i just play for fun and gain more experince myself

i played 2 games at a time 4 at dinner gmt - mostly europeans
and 6 games after 8pm - all over world lol.

What you think about calculators and my results at the $3.40 tables?

an 4 of a kind kings twice in space of a hour!!!
if it rigged pokerstars favours peopl who play alot hahah!

There was a recent discussion about calculators, Don :

Pot odds software calculator

and I stand by what I said there. A calculator can be a worthwhile training tool, but they are ridiculously overhyped.

I actually read on one of the sites (I forget which) that, using their calculator, a beginner can play the $100 buyin STTs and turn a great profit. Sounded like suicidal advice to me.

The calculator will help you to play ABC poker by the numbers. At the lowest levels, where a lot of the players can`t manage even that standard, this may be good enough to make you a winning player. At the $100 buyins, it`ll get you stuffed like a Christmas turkey.

Well done on your win, but ten games is too small a sample to mean anything, m8. Come back and tell us how you are doing when you reach 200.

Cool.

An for 200 games =\ ive played alot of sit n gos got alot of screenies everytime i come first. me and a friend sorta compete thats whyy it ake screenies.

An ill start noting down all my sit n goes from now on got my first 10 lol

take me like a year to do tho
