Opps, meant two table SNG's. I like how the chips and blinds move for two table. On one table, the blinds move so slow, that when you end up down to 2 or 3 players, the blinds are so small compared to the stacks that just makes the game drags on for too long. So might as well try to make more money on the 2 table SNG's. The play seems rather poor for it....I have thought about moving up to 20+2, but I don't really want the swings and don't really want to play against 4-5 more solid players. Usually find about half the field in the 10+1 to be rather poor players

Interesting. I typically prefer slower moving blinds, but you make some good points here.

Update

Number of SNG's 29

Buy In Total Amount $319

Finished

1 - 3

2 - 1

3 - 4

4 - 3

5 - 2

6 - 2

7 - 2

8 - 1

9 or worse - 11

Total Profit +$149

ROI = 149/319 = 46.7%

ITM - 11/29 = 37.9%

Remaining SNG's towards Bonus - 121


Some notes to add:

- Winning just one tourney can make up for a lot of bad finishes.
- Expecting to get a bad beat eases the pain when it does happen
- Even though you think people at the 10+1 level can't call your all in during a certain spot, you just won't ever know. (eg. Chip leader ~9000 chips, raises 3x my BB with AJ. I hold QQ with ~8000 chips, I know I'm ahead and push all in - really just wanting him to fold. Yet he still makes the call and I get knocked out 4th)
- I'm getting knocked out in 9th or worse a lot more than I expected. Sometimes it's due to the situations, a few bad decisions, and sometimes just no luck.
- Looking at my own numbers, it looks like I push hard for the win in most situations. The only second place finish I got was when I was about 20-1 down in chips to the eventual winner =P.
- Although 29 SNG's isn't much of a base, I expect more finishes between 1-9 in the future and fewer in the bottom half.

sounds like your doing well... your doing this on stars right?

I hate stars SNGs, they seem so tight to me... Ive played in $5 1 table SNGs and fought for a hour to get ITM.

so far so good it looks like... keep it going man.
