this is like the quadrilliont time my overpair gets cracked by a set when pre-flop all-in.
its driving me crazy and my bankroll doesn't seem to like it asswell.
went from 230$ to 90$ to 260$ to 180$

anyway just wanted to get it out, maybe now i will have more luck or something i don't know...
because if i don't i am about to go on an extreme tilting session and loose all my money

230$ to 90$ to 260$ to 180$

you don't have the bankroll to play these s&g's, especially since they are turbo's. These things are happening to me all the time, you don't know what a bad beat is. Just had aces cracked by QTo (great call), after it went all in preflop. Get used to it, s&g's are EXTREMELY swingy. I use 100buy ins for these turbo's.


I agree i would stop playin these sit and goes and maybe move down to lower buy in sit and goes if you think this is your best game. I would make sure i had atleast 50 buy ins to play any level of sit and go, maybe more if they were turbo. That means you should at least have a bankroll of $300 to play these tournaments.

well actuelly...

the bankroll management for SNG is (atleast) 30 buy-ins. it says so in the strategy page.
i know the swings are huge. but i feel very comfatable at these limits with my bankroll.

anyway that's not the reaspm why i posted this.


Doesnt have to do with the fact that u feel comfortable or not, it has to do with the fact that turbo's are huge variance. Turbo's are full of marginal preflop all in spots.


the bankroll management for SNG is (atleast) 30 buy-ins.

long time since i read it, but anyway. Pokerstrategy should hush, since i think that is a bad plan. Regular 50 Buy ins is an absolute minimum, and for turbo you want to have at least 60-70. You swung down to 90, so you have to realize that this is very dangerous. 15buy in swings are everyday business, so you can go broke in two days/ two swings.

Both hands are wp. But i don't see you post a lot in Unam's s&g sample hand board. Post more hands, especially ones you have doubts about. I play 16's, and Unam still helps me a lot.

You are right. 50 buy-ins should be the minimum. We will publish new SNG articles very soon.

Good luck at the tables!
