$$$ November SNG Thread $$$

[GeoffLacey]

Unless we hijack you and make you stay with us in sng's.

Hahaha I doubt it. I mean I don't hate them tbh, and they're really kinda addictive lol. I much prefer cash though, it's just so much more interesting. I don't wanna have the rest of my 'poker career' to be reading shove bot charts for when I have 10bbs on the button with nits in the blinds lol. And I realllyyyyy don't wanna just be grinding out 30 tables for some tiny ROI just to show a decent profit. Plus the potential downswings in sngs are just far too sick for my liking

 

[Debi]

What downswings?

 

[Johnnybmoto]

The one I am currently on

16 BI currently.......This is why I have a 100 BI bankroll.

 

[Worak]

i'm shipping it here. there are too many draws and over pairs that could be raising here not too. the villian may also be taking a stab at the pot but there's enough in the pot to take it down.

Yep - and even if you're looking at a straight you could resuck for a boat.

but no thread for MTT's

Will be soon or make one...

I ended up folding in that spot. I didn't think he would be making that raise with anything that doesn't beat me. I don't think he shows up with a bluff in that spot enough to make a ship profitable.

Plus, it was early in the tournament and I still had plenty of chips to work with.

 

[No Brainer]

Ive just been 3 handed in a SNG for 30 minutes and managed to finish 3rd... there was a couple of interesting hands in there though.

What can you put him on here? All I could think of is maybe 9,J. He was pretty aggressive, so would have raised all aces preflop. I know my turn bet was a bit weak but I just didnt want to make it a big pot with only 2nd pair.

About two hands later he made exactly the same play to the other guy so maybe it is a way of getting more chips out of your opponents later in a tourney? Although it does seem risky, most people would call him if they had an ace...

 

[No Brainer]

Just wondering about the graph in holdem manager. When you are above the luck adjusted winnings, does that mean you are not playing well, just getting lucky or is it the other way around? Heres mine for November so far, the lines go in opposite directions...

i see a super sat to the double deuce. it costs $1.80 +$0.20. it pays top 3 with a $5.50 entry into the double deuce. this seems to be an awesome deal for those of you on a small BR. instead of the 17% rake in the $1.00 + $0.20s(or 11% in the $2.25s) it only has a 10% rake(which is close to the $5.50s rake level). and the prize pool seems to be over 100% somehow. $1.80 x 9 = $16.20 and the prize pool is listed as $16.50. i'm wondering if you unregesister for the double deuce if the give you the full $5.50 as T$. All of those on the $1.20 or $2.25 level should be playing these as the rake is a way better deal. And in my experience satellites usually soft.

Right played another one of them 90 seater jobs and cashed!

Got another one going where I'm currently 2nd if anybody what to watch and learn please feel free!!

Wow, u r right, they actually add 30c to the price pool.
Yes, if you unregister from the $5.50 tourney, you get the full T$5.50 credited to your account.

10 J is definitely a possibility, it explains his check/calls then the bet.

So, how is it every time I get it in with say QQ vs A7 I lose. Now, I would be perfectly fine with them spiking an Ace, but nooooooooooo flop comes 4-8-k Turn 5......River.....6.

This has happened so many times today, Get it in and have them dominated, then get beat by their low card.

 

[Pokertron3000]

End of another crappy poker day and 1 outered been horrible today and month so far.

 

[Debi]

I had my 2nd coaching session tonight and it went really well. He helped me a lot with some leaks in my game - particularly with my hu game. I have another session scheduled for next week.

Can't wait to play some more!

This sucks

 

[Johnnybmoto]

At some point I'm gonna stop running like dog crap.....I hope.

AA no good against QT. They are hitting every runner runner straight, runner runner flush, everything.

Thanks D, I'll repost it now.

Moved up in stakes tonight from 1.10 45 player to 3.25 45 player. Ran unbelievably horrible. Got AA's in PF 6 times and lost all six. Lost all-in PF with KK's once, and capped the whole session off with my A7 losing to A2 to bubble from my last SNG. Only down 2 buy-ins fortunately.

I was really surprised at the similarity in play between the 1.10's and the 3.25's. No real obvious jump in skill level.

i think a bet of 2/3 the pot on the flop is ok. IMO 200 is just as good as 300 only it saves you 100 when you got to fold. but either way if my flop bet is clled i'm done with the hand unless i improve. that bet of 300 on the turn just reads weakness to me. i'll(please don't exploit me) pretty much raise that bet to 900-950 every time. unless ofcoarse i have a hand. on the river i dont think you can ever call here.

I ran a $6 Deepstack Turbo KO 90 man on full tilt last night. Was 2nd in chips with 18 remaining, should have just went super tight, instead I lost a pretty big allin to a late flush draw or something silly and end up short stacked. Was push/fold at that point and went out 11th. Two from the money.

I still managed 6 KO's so I got most of my buyin back, but still depressing to be in it that long and miss the money, especially when I could've folded to the money.

I was playing outside my BR though, I don't know why I even started a $6. $3 is pushing it for me.
