Sng motivation thread!

Cashed in some FT points for a discounted sng $2.25 ticket and won it.

Beat, accidently registered for a regular sng instead of a turbo, so I cost myself 9 cents in winnings due to FT's weird rake structure.

Rumour going around they are changing payouts to 5 people instead of 4 in 18 mans.

YES YES YES!!!!

180 mans going to 27 payouts instead of 18 in some of them.

Is that on stars or tilt?

I think the idea of the 180 man's, makes a lot of sense.

Stars already denying the 18 man thing LOL.

No No, 18 mans bad now! I have to try and stay away from them well on stars anyway.:)

To add or update from above, I do believe stars was still looking at changing payouts which I am still for but I don't see it happening.

I see stars is doing happy hours and stuff right now, wonder if Moose still likes the happy hours.

As for Full Tilt, it's the same, no traffic at all for mtt sng's now :(. I would love to play the odd mtt but there schedule sucks for us Canadians just like everywhere else online with the exception of mini ftops coming up as their are some events with good start times.

In regards to merge, they got rid of instadebit and saw their was problems regarding cashouts or something and they got rid of rakeback? They lost traffic too so after the instadebit situation I had no options to play there anymore and uninstalled the software.

As others have said recently, online poker has been on a decline really since 2007, not helping was the ultimate bet and full tilt fiasco's which were the 2 best sites for games and fish and it's such a shame.

Those fiasco's and the u.s. government situation killed it for me to play poker quite a bit, also I work a shitty shift. While another warehouse was on strike and pretty much shut us down we all played poker, their was 2 tables of us and I ended up winning:wink2:(does that count as a "liveament"?) so that got me excited to start playing again a bit, did not start off well but hey it was like 5-6 months of not playing at all so was not expecting much, then it turned around a bit on my main game 27 man's and now on a 8 game cashless streak and stopped playing right now to focus on other stuff again and it was extremely busy at work.

I have been trying to focus more on just playing for fun, not worry about the money part of the game and not play bad like I did when I first started playing poker.

Even though I don't play poker for stretches at a time, I still watch poker videos, read up on strategy and stay somewhat up to date on what's happening in the poker world.

Phil on stars im sure you know that at peek hours the sit and go games will fill up real fast. 1:00 pm est to 7:00 pm est are nice hours to get in a good volume of sit and go games in the 45 man.Tilt will it is still very slow the site and games do not fill fast.

Here is a small rail of 1 of our players who plays only the 1.00 45 man non turbo games for us he does a small session like this once or twice a day

Session 25 Game 01 768470374 31 $0
Session 26 Game 02 768472763 17 $0
Session 27 Game 03 768496251 01 $12.73
Session 28 Game 04 768551195 09 $0
Session 29 Game 05 768590854 36 $0
Session 30 Game 06 768601398 29 $0
Session 31 Game 07 768617509 06 $2.45
Session 32 Game 08 768663269 20 $0
Session 33 Game 09 768875811 34 $0
Session 34 Game 10 768886323 17 $0
Session 35 Game 11 768894617 36 $0
Session 36 Game 12 768907642 04 $5.11
Session 37 Game 13 768915068 21 $0
Session 38 Game 14 768916909 35 $0
Session 39 Game 15 768919817 12 $0

Starting bankroll - $18.05
Total spend- $15
Total Return - $20.29
Ending Bankroll - $23.34

He will be playing this until he reachs 150 games or bust ( Hopefully he runs good like the last stake he did )

So at peek hours you can still get a good volume in in these.

I keep a eye on 45 man's on stars, I have played them before and not against them, just the time period for them to finish up is a lil long for me but the .50 cent difference in buy in might make sense in some cases. :)

You can see now if you get on stars 1 of my guy is grinding sits he is a high volume player will basically keep around 20 or more tables open search tomycta

Did you used to play on those 2 sites?

Same for Party, especially after bwin.party basically told all rake-paying regs like me to GTFO by getting rid of the SNG & MTT Leaderboards without notice, etc., etc. :rage: Most of the SNG sections (Steps, Qualifiers, Special, & Welcome Lounge) have zero games running.
