About KO games, i try some last month and i don´t like it, yea, you take a couple of bounties, but this not like normal bounties when you get half of your buyin each time, you only get 1/4, and pays are only wort in last table, you end with your buyin back, maybe another extra buyin, but games take so long that better decide to cut the games and focus in 9man that take really less time.
About tracking games, i use HEM (Holdem Manager), in Stars usually not track all correct (or number of players or buyin or results) but i stop playing there, in Fulltilt track accurate all my games so is enough for me.
I have a great first session today, play 10 games and cashed in 6, a couple 1st places and couple of 2nds, unfortunately a storm just start and electricity is on and off, so can´t play another session, hopely late in the day can play again.

I'm sorry if this is considered a hijack...I don't intend it to be. I just want to know what people are using to track how many SNG's they play. I want to look at September so I can get a goal number for this thread. Thanks
That's exactly what this thread is for! I use PT3 personally, if you don't have that you could just use a spreadsheet as Debi does. I'd track your finishes also, your finish distribution over a large sample can help you spot some leaks in your play.

***8.) study nash ranges more (this involves moving WIZHUD to another computer)
and philthy i've done a few $3.30 90mans turbos last month and did pretty good with them. low blinds i'll limp with hands as strong as TT and AKs and be prepaired to get in on good flops. the one reason i normally rise is too narrow the villian calling range to get a better read and also to limit the amount of players seeing a flop. in these players call raises no matter the size or hands they hold so raising for these reasons is just useless imo. also i open for 20x or so with JJ-AA and still get callers that will get allin if they hit any part of the board or sometime if they completely miss.

Well, September bit me in the butt right at the end. First 29 days of September = Ysy!, last day of September = WTF!!!!
But it's a new month and I can forget about all of that. Or can I? Anyway, here are my goals for October...
1. STOP posting period in the chat boxes. Seriously this time.
2. Work more with HEM and find 1 or 2 more filters for my bubble game.
3. Volume. I would like to play at least 500 games this month, but it may be as low as 300 due to the circumstances IRL.
4. Read Collin Moshman's book and understand most of it.
I think I'll leave it there for now. My game is getting better and if I could just stop going retarded from time to time it would help immensely.

also you can click on the hand number in the handreplayer to bring up a text version of the hnad right click copy and paste it into a text file. but you really should be be saving them to your computer. also if you got hem it may import them to another folder.

October goals
1 - Maintain Ironman
2 - *shrug*
3 - Profit
Number one is actually going to be a little more difficult than normal, I'm travelling for a week and a half so I'll be reduced to playing on a laptop if I can get on at all.

Yeah that's a pretty sweet deal. The annoying thing about Ironman for me is that you have to play so many days out of the month, it'd be easier for me I think to just get in a couple of huge sessions than it would be to spread them out over the month. I guess that's what Stars has, I dunno if it'd be worth switching though.

okay, 2 quick things (well one quick, one not so quick, I'll let you figure out which one is which lol):
1) what's a reasonable WTSD% and W$SD% for STT's?
2) is it reasonable to try to go after the more loose players in the early stages, or is that still risky? Like, normally I'm stacking QQ+ during low blinds, sometimes JJ and AK is appropriate, but what if you're up against an opponent who's like 40/35 or 85/20? Is it safe to widen our value range against them to try and gain a bigger stack?

LOL on the pict CJ, is not nice chipdumping even if is Oz
Good questions. I like to know 1)too, on 2) i try to see more flops with loose players more than shoving, in postflop play they definitly will pay you when you want, in shoves also will pay you but if open range more then is like gamble wich is better for they.
I manage to play another session after the storm, get 3/8, all 3 first places, after first day of the month end 9/18 ROI=22.6%

my WTSD% is 49.8% and my W$SD% is 55.6%. not even sure that sounds right. i really don't think these stats matter too much as alot depends if your getting called down or not. as for #2 i rarely adjust for players early on. i think the tight game i play early give me and edge on these guys let 2 of them bust out early while you sit back and gain equity. i try to keep pots small in low blinds and only get in with very strong hands QQ is borderline for me as whether or not i get in with it.

I think this is where my game is suffering. I'm trying to get ahead too much early on by getting it in more marginally than I used to. If I can just slow back down in my early game, I think I can do a lot better.

dg, or anyone mixing $2 & $5´s.
Do you make any adjustment in the 5´s??
Still crushing the $2´s but can´t win in the 5´s so far. First 2 days
Small example with 5´s but just wondering if need to make adjustments.
I think tomorrow will check all hands on 5´s to see what happen, if this continue will need to stay only with 2´s and add 2 more tables, should be winning almost $40 in 2 days but because the 5´s go up like $6

Stars is shafting me ragally today its just not funny anymore last game of the day and probally my biggest losing day ever. It would be nice if it was down to tilt but its just things beyond my control like alipf with qq vs jj and the j hitting.
The only small amount of joy has been some spanish dude anouncing to the table that I was going out next with 7/18 players left and me finishing above him in 3rd place. One game left lets hope I can salvage a lil something and get refreshed for tomorrows grind.
Do we have any 18 man players at CC?
