***September Sit n Go Thread***

Figured we might as well keep this going! It's getting good responses.

This month I would like to see more players join up with other players that are playing the same stakes. It's very helpful to have study buddies! If you are wanting to start a group, or be in a group, post in here and get one started. You can meet on Skype once a week and go over stuff that is giving you problems and other players can help you out.

My goals for Sept.-

1. Volume, volume, volume!!! Want to see 600 games this month.
2. Make myself spend at least an hour a day going over HEM/SnG Wizard
3. *shrug* This one seems to work out for Oz every month, so I'm adding it;)
4. More work on my bubble play
5. Seriously keep myself from spazzing out in the chat box! I so suck at this!:eek:

I'll be the first one to put a group request out there.

I play the $2.25 standards on Full Tilt. Anyone wanting to meet once a week to go over hands, study habits, strategies, the role of the Pope in modern day Catholicism:rolleyes: can join my group.

(I'm not Catholic, but I don't think that matters)

Anybody up for doing a monthly or weekly or something SNG with the members here? Keep the buy in low, and discuss strategy while playing? Be more of a learning experience than anything.

Goals?

1. Play 1500 SNG's, sigh, i've made this damn goal about 5 times now, not once have i come close, no excuses this month.
2.Setup a schedule to play games, i'm thinking about going to bed early, and waking up really early so i can take advantage of the peak times in america, where the most fish are :D.
3.Keep eradicating small leaks, and preparing to move over to tilt and start the 6.50's.

I just remembered I wanted to make another goal this month, I don't wanna play while tired, angry, etc... I'll only play games when I have nothing else to focus on or worry about, so I can truly make good decisions and not tilt away all my moniez.

Ugh! Why do we have to start another month. For some reason, I'm always digging myself out of a hole after the first day.

I forget for what was coming:p

2 questions.

-Table Ninja could help me in anything if only play 2-4 tables?.

-If you are rolled to play a game level but not in that poker site still is ok to play it? I usually use BR management individually by site, (means if have only $80 in a site usually don´t play nothing bigger than $2, should be $1 but because the rake i play in $2), in another sites i am rolled to play in the $6 or $8, so if joining all my poker sites roll could play in $5´s or $10´s, means i should stick to that? (example play the $5´s in any site not matter how much have individualy, even if have enough in one for bigger buyins or less on others).

Kind of confuse me, thats why usually make it individual, but not sure if is better to stick to a general BR of all sites to play same buyin in all (wich mean stick to same games and not different buyins), i have 4 sites if that help in anything (have more but others are only for private games)

table ninja has hotkeys you can set up to help with bet sizing this can help you make more consistant preflop raises based on the size of the blinds and not the strength of your hands. and the BR thing is really dependant if you can tranfer fund from site to site easily. if you have no problem depositing and withdrawing then your poker BR is your total poker BR and your not limited to the amount you have on a certain site.

Any suggestions for a "project" for a mostly cash game player? Something that I can start up, pause, re-start when I have the time/inclination?

I'd do this on Stars and I have a couple thousand total bankroll, pretty much all done via ring games though.

Ideally I'm trying to figure out some sort of simple structure that has an element of challenge, like start with $2 SnGs, play a minimum of 10, when ROI hits X% or when total winnings equals $X, move up and start over. I'm not overly concerned about bankroll management as I'd track this separate from the total bankroll and I'm not planning to give up cash games, just some sort of challenge or structure on the side to play SnGs. In other words I'd have no problem going up a level with only 10 buyins earned or something.

Tips, thoughts, ideas, target suggestions?

What i do is start at 50buyins for a given level if I win another 50+buyins I'll then take shots at a higher buyin. I'll buyin for the higher buyin until I have only 100 butins for the lower level. eg right now I have $785 in my FT BR and that will allow me 21 buyin of the $11 SNGs and still leave me $553(100 buyins for the $5.50s if I go lose all 21 games). You could definately do something like this but use a smaller number of buyins. I would suggest using 50 but even 30-35 wouldn't be tooo bad a number. Basing it on ROI% isn't a good idea imo as these have larger swings and ROI% aren't very acurrate until you've play 10s of thousands of games and even then it changes.

You call yourself a Catholic when you play those satanic 27 seat tournies? That's blasphemy!:p
