<beat> Down for the past 2 months! =(

I'm not one to usually complain, but jeez..bad run. I mainly play low-limit SNG's. I track my stats. Everything is on Pstars.

$5.50's regular: 560 games, 26% ROI, 46% ITM.
$6.50's turbos: 498 games, 6% ROI, 41% ITM. (for some reason I can't beat this...that's another problem lol)

Anyway, those are stats including the games below. As you see, I don't play that much. 4-tabling everytime I play.

From the beginning of June:

Last 101, $5.50's: 37% ITM, -$21.50
Last 30, $6.50's: 30% ITM, -$5.90

Any place I can read about SNG's, receive coaching at low limits etc? Keep doing what I do, or do I need to look at how I play differently? PStars confuses me. lol

  • Colin Moshman's book is good.

    I've been experimenting with SNG Wizard to plug some leaks in my end game
  • if you want to feel better sharkscope me on Stars
  • I only play live, but a positive ROI and high ITM seems pretty good to me. If there is anybody else here that plays live SNGs/satellites, I would be willing to share statistics. Once more into the breech at the Fallsview raked satellites....

  • High ITM, and low ROI means ... lots of 3rd place finishes...

    Hows your short handed, headsup game?

    And if you want to feel even BETTER than that, sharkscope me ;)

    Hows your short handed, headsup game?

    For $5.50's, 86 (1st), 89 (2nd), 85 (3rd), 82 (4ths)
    For $6.50's, 53 (1st), 69 (2nd), 80 (3rd), 76 (4ths)

    I know the $6.50's stats are definitely skewed 3rd and bubble. What should a good ratio be for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th?
  • If the prize structure is 50% for 1st, 30% for 2nd and 20% for 3rd...

    Consider: There is a big change in prize money between 2nd and 1st (20%) and 4th and 3rd (20%).
    Between 3rd and 2nd there is only a 10% gap.

    So....

    You want to have lots of 1sts than 2nd and lots more 3rds than 4ths ...

    4 handed you want to play tight.

    Consider in Harrington on Hold'em where he talks about laying down QQ and only playing AA, and KK for a pot committing bet 4 handed in a SnG.

    Once you are 3 handed, you need to go for 1st, not 2nd since the difference between 3rd and 2nd is only 10% but he difference between 1st and 2nd is 20%.

    I'm not a sng expert but this might be a place to start looking... tell us more about your results, post your sharkscope and opr rankings so we can analyze...

    Purchased the book...to be delivered in a week or so from Amazon. Started playing around with SNG Wizard and seeing some places I should be pushing that I've missed.

    Attached is sharkscope graph. Please analyze.

    I finally got the monkey off the back and cashed 8 of 12 SNG's yesterday. Hopefully the downswing is over.
  • Yeah...that didn't last too long. I just gave back everything from yesterday. Stars is just toying with my emotions.

    Went 0 for 7 today. 7,6,6,6,6,5,5...hahaha
  • I only found one forumer in Sharkscope who is profitable. Are there too many SNG sharks online?
