SNG Sunday!
Anybody else playing sng's today if your not too hungover:p.
My god the fish are out today, but as usual my hands can't hold up or I can't hit sweet fuck all when I have a tonne of outs.
Played 4 tables and got a 3rd in a 18 man to at least minimize the losses so far.

How are you guys doing?
hehehehe, wish we could run it 4 times!;)
Yes, not right now just finished the 2 games I was playing, will probably play some more tonight.
Online poker is a funny game. It mirrors baseball in so many ways. A hall of fame hitter gets a hit 3 out of 10 times, over the course of their career. That means, he failed to hit 7 out of 10 times.
Same thing in online poker, the really good players only cash in about 1 out of 6 tournies. And go really deep, less than a third of those. Even the best of the best, our very own BetrThanPhil, only cashes 15% of the time. Over 80% of his profit from 2011 came from just three tournaments.
If you want to be a great tournament player, you need to get good at losing more than you win.

we are talking about poker, don't know what you and drunko the clown are talking about.
Somebody beating a dead horse and saying over and over the same thing when people have proven them otherwise is called a GTA poker.
So, you are GTA pokering and Philliing ITT?

Hi muddguts!
Wow, that's pretty good reibs.:)
Yeah I ran pretty absurd to get there. For instance I had 4 quads today...???
I just bubbled 2 sng's at the same time! I am getting bashed around the last week pretty good, I feel it's confusing my game but I am trying to stay upbeat and positive. 1 thing I am doing better is picking up like bluff's better post flop.
How do you handle a terrible run?
Played 2 27 man sng's and cashed in both!, finally hit the cards I needed and won some races except 3 handed a guy rivered a ace on me
Gonna try and fire up some more!:)
Learned a long time ago that it really doesn't matter what happens in 15 sng's...
bad shit happens, sometimes game after game. Quick glance at HH and if nothing slaps me in the face (that's if one can even recognize the mistakes in their own play as mistakes) then its just on to the next one.
Playing low limits forever also means that I couldn't give a shit about 3.50...even if its * 15.
If they were the 30.00 ones Hobbes trying out, then I'd probably struggle more with it...that's why (along with being unskilled) is why I'm not interested in playing higher.
