Played some sng's today, ran hot as the sun coming second in 4/5, but it was kinda fun.

How many do people play per month on avg for decent volume? Like 500+?

I'd play them but I think I could only manage around 300-400 per month and that seems like not a lot :/

Which sng's are you playing?

You can get 200 games in with no real problems playing hypers 6max over a 2hour period.

Went out in 3rd for $266, had withdrew all my $$ from 888 as well and would have been playing on stars tonight if it had came through, as it hadnt the only poker I could play was an MTT with my free tickets on there :) My lucky day I guess.

My roll when I started that mtt was only $215 lol, now I have $495 :D

Had a ton of big tournies today, but fell short in all of them. A couple of them were just bad beats, some I made dumb plays, but in the end just wasn't playing my A game. Need to go over hand histories and figure out what went wrong. Anyone know of any sites where you can request people to go over hand histories for you? I know the people here can do it, but I don't want to bug anyone about it haha..

Played great today! And feeling like I'm on top of my game... I think I did a bit better then breaking even, lol.
Lasted over 5hrs. in a couple of the MiniFtops, went out with small cashes. Cashed in a few small field priv buyins. Prolly played for 9hrs. and came out ~$50 ahead. Meanwhile, watched my partner (g/f) donking it up in some SNG's this afternoon where she ended up over $600. I'm doing something wrong :(

Okay, this is crazy.

I entered a GTD satellite for .50 on ACR. It was already the final table with 4 people left, average stack 18,000. I sat down with 500. :) Can you see it coming?

Triped up the first hand. Plugged along crippled. Short stack doesn't really scare me. Before you know it there were two tables full of new entries. Turned into a push fest. I don't know how far late registration is for these, but it seemed to be about 18 levels.

Kept hangin and choosing my spots, and soon I was chip leader. No rebuys.

I won the stupid thing. Course, 4th wudda been fine as top four got the ticket.

Crazy man... crazy.
