Well November has come up way too quick and it is time to start a new SNG thread! Looks like November will be a good month as there is the Collin Moshman interview coming up and the November SNG challenge.

I didnt have a very good october and I am determined to turn that around so I have set myself some decent goals for the month.

1.Buy Holdem Manager
2.Deposit on pokerstars
3.Play only when not tired, changing from night shift to day shift will be good
4.Play only $3.40 SNGs on stars,MTTs will be on FT
5.Play only one table at a time for first week
6.Focus on every tourney, no webpages or other things in background.
7.Try to predict opponents hole cards in every hand, not just the ones I play
8.Collin Moshmans SNG strategy will be delivered
9.Read it
10.Set up HEM properly for SNGs, it would be great if people could share their configurations that they have going for sit n gos so I can get an idea of which stats are most important to have in front of you
11. Review every tournament.

I shall take a number 6 please. Must stop doing stuff and playing poker, I think the answer for me will be to play two tables and see what happens. Will be my last chance for regular poker this week so hopefully I can increse the bankroll a little bit fot the inevitable rust that I shall have when I play next.

Have a good month everyone.

1) Play at least 200 SNG's (had 181 in Oct.)
2) Move up in stakes if possible.
3) Make the final table in a large $2.20 MTT on PS. (Got so close in Oct.)
4) Don't let the grades slip (this goal is so directly affected by poker I thought I'd include it lol.)

Whole day sucked (or rather sucked out)

No apparent tilt although I lost twice boat over boat on the river and a flopped nutflush vs flopped straight flush.

Can't evade these I guess......

- was down 27$ until the last game, a 180 player 2$ FT sng.

Made 5th for 27$ lol - so I moved sideways at least (+ 100 FTPs).

I play at Pokerstars. I don't like the sng's at FT - the normal speed ones are like turbos with only 6 minute blind levels. Besides I at least get to play in the Pokerlisting freerolls at Pokerstars when I earn points - I get nothing at FT.

I despise turbos, so I only play regular SNGs and I am not very good at multi tabling. I am going to have to amend my goal of 300 SNGs to 150 as I can only play 4 in two hours. I start a new table when the blinds get to 50 /100 on the other one.

In my 10 games (using last night and tonight) so far: $5.50 - 1 table SNGs

1st - 2
2nd - 3
3rd - 2
N/C - 3

ROI - 83 % - Let's hope the rest of November goes this well

Great job! Are all of them turbos?

Ya, all turbo's.

Only playing the $3.40's right now trying to get back in the swing of things as far as sng's go. Haven't played any before today in over a month.

Regular speed is just to slow for me, Sng's are all about the push/fold in the later stages and that is where they are won, so with turbo's I get to that point faster.

I have to agree on Fulltilt sngs, I dont like the structure although I have only played 40 or 50 there, has anyone experience of other sites?

And good job Jonny on being in the positive took me a little longer than that.
