[Debi]

^^^ - yea - you guys go make some suggestions in Marginal's thread please. It is a good opportunity for us to have some sng
strategy discussions.

I have some new sng books to read:

Secrets of Sit'n'gos - Phil Shaw
Heads Up No Limit Holdem - Collin Moshman
How To Beat Sng Poker Tournaments - Neil Timothy

Has anyone read any of these?

December has been a good month for me. After starting out with $11 in my BR and grinding out the micro SnG's in all formats (45 man, Heads Up, DoN, 10 Man), I was able to grind out a BR that allowed me to safely play DoN's exclusively within my BR. Once I was able to do that, the DoN's have become a cash cow for me. Since i'm not likely to play anymore today, here are my December results. $136 profit. I look forward to setting some goals for January and having another good month at the tables in the new year.

Nice Job Ace!!!

December goals
Play 75 SNG games (chasing FTP bonus) Fail only 52 games
Run games thru SNGWIZ Pass
Post 4 hands Fail

December results
bankroll -$33.93
2&3 Table SNGs, ITM 42% ROI 131.93
1 Table SNGs , ITM 32.5% ROI -19.52


Ran way below expectations in the 1 table SNGs at FTP while chasing the bonus and only cleared a portion of it. I am glad to be back at PS playing the 2&3 table SNGs now.

Christmas was much busier than I expected so I failed to hit my quantity targets.

Happy New Year everyone.

Well my aims for the month's are

1. Sort out my Bankroll on both Fulltilt and Pokerstars by using SNG's
2. Try and make enough money to buy Sit and go Wizard or a HUD!
3. Carry on improving my SNG's strategy and start reviewing my play in detail!
4. Keep detailed information on my Bankroll by logging all games and profits etc... On Excel spreadsheet!

If i come up with anymore I'll update you guys!!

Good to all coming up to the festive season some extra $$$$ would help

Sorted out number one and three of my listed of things to do....

My bankrolls are as follow.... now FT $102.65 ... Was $40 at the start of the month... And PS $11.75... Was $0.64 start of the month...

I'm going to start my spreadsheet tomorrow.

I have improved my SNG hence the raise in Bankroll... And have started reviewing the games I have lost.

Happy Year All ... And hoping to do as well in the New Year

Secrets of Sit'n'gos - Phil Shaw
Heads Up No Limit Holdem - Collin Moshman
How To Beat Sng Poker Tournaments - Neil Timothy

Has anyone read any of these?

The first two.

Shaw's book is alright, but I prefer Moshman's.
Moshman's HU book is also excellent, but unless you're planning on moving to deep stack HU play (ring or SnG) you can put that on the shelf for a bit.

I'd add Kill Everyone to your list before those. Tysen Streib's stuff in section 2 is a veritable gold mine of information for tourney players.

I'll probably go by Shaw's book sooner than later as it has been translated in French so ....

Time for me to close December SNG exercise

Well that month has been great for me.
-On $ sites (FT and Everest) :
509 SNG 9 and 10 players played (5.5R, 6.5T and 7.5ST on FT and 5.5, 11 and 12 on Everest (with a medley of Turbos, regulars and DON)
4.8% ROI for 162.1$ profit : EV is at 7.7% for 260.19 so I have my potential profits cut by around 40% but I won't complain

- On € sites I found a real fishy site on Boos Media network which leads me to a 10.6% ROI and 25.7€ won on 58 3.3 and 5.5€ SNGs.
Nicer I'm exactly on EVs prediction.

More than anything I've proved myself I can be a winner in each STT SNG format I played (hmmm except 6.5T on FT where I miserably failed)

Adding to that ITMs in the only 2 MTT I've played this month and that became a +400 $ month which is always nice

Kill Elky FTW!!!

Same advice as I gave about section 2 of Kill Everyone.

Just revisiting the goals for December now that it's finished for me:

1 - Play lots. At least 150 STTs. Close but not quite - 140ish
2 - Post another couple of complete games for analysis, if people are willing to look at them again for me. Done, above
3 - *shrugs* Cleared this one easy, IMO
4 - Profit. Done, though not as big a one as I might've liked: $16.40

Had a bit of a downswing the last couple of days of the month which was unfortunate. But I feel like I'm playing better and that's the important thing.

 

[Debi]

Guess I should too:

My goals:

1. Get HEM on my laptop. (Done - thanks Gallopingael!!!)
2. Have a profitable month with sng's. (I still have a few hours hehe)
3. Try to play 200 sng's (played 161 in Nov) (played 206 so far)
4. Review as many of them as possible in SNG Wizard (better but not enough)
5. Continue with my coaching. (Done!)
6. Play more MTT's. (massive fail)

I've been hearing nothing but good things about this. I guess I'll have to break down and read this. I have taken a little break from poker but plan on playing more next year. Good luck all and happy new year.
