Long time, no write! I decided to return to my old blog and SNG games, after quite a long break and a short try of playing cash games . So i'll try to keep the blog updated with my progress!
Today i didn't play as much as i wanted to but overall i played around 2 hours and a half. Beside that i studied ICM for an hour, mainly exploiting different situations. My aim is to play 4 hours each day without weekends (20 hours a week) and 1 hour each day.

On the river a possible flush completes, also an overcard for my KK. So, could check/fold be an option here? I think that i'm already commited to the pot and even though i could check i must call him. What do you think?
Pre-flop I would always raise 3bb+1bb per limper, but this is also fine on the 50c stakes.
Post-flop I would bet flop and turn a little bit smaller. This way you don’t committing yourself on turn, but against a fish it isn’t to bad. Now you need to shipped every river off course.
I would bet approximately 55% pot on flop and turn and shipped on a blank river. Than you can check/fold on the A♠: river card, because I don’t think he will bet with worse than.
Hopefully you’re SNG adventure is going well on the moment.

Kind of a beginner question. Does EV need a very large sample so i can evaluate my game? I ask this because i often found myself that after a session where mostly i shoved into top ranges, my EV line is going down. So, is EV line important in determining my game quality or should i also try and look at other things?
I personal don’t check the EV line or stats often in SNG’s, because I don’t know how reliable this information is. I always review my game and that’s helps most likely better than checking if run good or bad on the moment. Off course is a high sample very important to beat the variance in SNG’s.
Hey alex your EV line describes how often you get your money good/bad and describes pretty much where you should be result wise and green line obviously how you actually doing if green line is above EV line you probably doing better than you should and if its below you probably on a cooler. gl at tables
