fail to see how that laydown is bad for you

 

[switch0723]

is it possible for you to suck any worse?

 

[eNTy]

have you not seen my garphs ?

 

[switch0723]

I havn't been this scared in a long time, and im so unprepared so here's your valentine

 

[Debi]

lol at that hand

 

[switch0723]

Must be a really cool feeling to run at ev, siiiiiiiiiiiigh

 

[Dwilius]

Brag - made supernova today
- sn bonuses, here we come...

Congrats I ignored part of your post and you should too

 

[Debi]

Okay so somebody remind me of why sng's suck so bad lol. I have been playing in some at FT to help me clear my bonus. I just won a 45 sng for $171. As a matter of fact my 2 biggest cashes this month have been from sng's - not tournaments. It looks like they are going to save my ass.

 

[Dwilius]

I think they are just considered monotonous, with alot of shortstacked poker where your decisions are made for you...and with all those push/fold decisions its easy to have a bad run?

 

[Debi]

So I will ride out my good run and when it turns bad I will quit forever lol.

 

[Jillychemung]

FWIW Debi I think they are great for multitabling.

Big difrence in STTs and SNGs imo.
I think the fact so many people hate STTs is there so varience high and when u get to decent level in them the competion is so hard since most of the regs are playing a perfect ICM game so your edges will by tiny(if any).
But great job on the win .

 

[Debi]

I have played some 9 person, 27 person and then the 45 person tonight. I have not done well in the 9 person's but have in the others.

Good luck to everyone playing in the SNG madness this weekend at FTP. My 200nl shot is done after only 2500 hands. Leaving down 2 buy-ins ... my game is okay but I totally realize after taking a step back I'm not ready to handle the amount of money on the table just yet. Same thing happened when i went from 50nl to 100nl. It's just an adjustment.

nothing is wrong with sngs. super turbos ftw when clearing bonuses

 

[Caseace48]

Someone who's playing 100NL FR mind telling me how many VIP's Per hand you get? Trying to gauge how much more per hand I'll get when I make the move, currently getting .2 per hand at 50NL FR.

 

[Emperor IX]

woooo, 44 hands, -$46 at .5/1

Who knew that was even possible? Won half of that back so far though

 

[Emperor IX]

nm, was only down like $30 at the 44 hand mark, but still, fun session:

Wish I woulda sat down ten minutes later
