Tnx, hack! I remembre it lasting at least 6h for sure. :)

Actually it should be better, since the key hand was my JJ, which raised from CO, and got re-raised by A5o (!), so moved in pre-flop, and this donkey flopped A, and last hand was just amazing - I put it in with J9s vs 57o and A5off, so these bosth rivered their 2-outer: 5.

Also SnG Wiz showed I was definitely doing correct moves, I was quite confident also about my game, but - what could you do...

go for it! I bought a chair that costs about 220$ at first tourney session I want deep in one of them and won about 270$, so it paid of pritty quickly lol In chair like that you can easily play longer sessions, because you feel good etc. And when Im studying something.. man.. first time I stoped because I have to go to sleep not because I got boring or just cant sit there so long, but I just needed to go to sleep. (but ofc there was "what the hell - one more article") for me it was +EV for sure! I bet it will be for you too ;)
GL at tables ;)

Sick beat.
Probably just open fold that hand pre. You're pretty much drawing to trips or better with KQ because you're dominated so often.. TPTK is rarely good. And you're guaranteed to be playing OOP too.

Yeah, I'd like to, besides I have a plenty of time, cause my uni often ends at 12 a.m.

Can U tell me how exactly u are doing this? - I just have no experience at this.

Say date and time - we could do this for sure. ;)

p.s.
lol, about min-raising, whats are the date of those tourneys?, cause I seriously started play and work on my game since half August (mainly ICM, SnG wiz), so it could be fun to see that all.

We'd use mikogo or teamviewer, and Skype chat. You probably need a microphone. We can go over previous hand histories or I can watch you play games
Most times suit me.... do I have you on skype? add me if I don't: ged.forrest

Just jump on and say hi some time and we'll roll from there

Hi, all!

I'm currently reading all the diamond inerview series - wanna see what's behind those brilliant players.

actually I'm taking break from poker, till next friday, cause of volume I put in last month.

current BR: $110 (made 2 nice withdraws before, gonna buy new phone- Nokia X6, just lost my previous phone at our national holidays, lol )

Wanna gain much of poker mindset at this point (during my break), so:

:diamond:will print out all the SnG strategy articles.
:diamond:will complete reading diamond interview series
:diamond:will deposit and take some SnG shots at Poker Stars
:diamond:wanna beat $2 SnGs at Full Tilt
:diamond:wanna reach $6.50 turbos @ FT till New Year.
:diamond:will study hard, hard, hard.

This is nice. (I CAN LEAVE U $2 SNGs, BEATEN.)

Have a nice day, guyz! =)

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

After reading diamond interviews and taking some free days from the tables I've understood this:

:spade: I need study poker > or = playing poker (ATM)

:spade: Play for quality game (6-table fits to me well) not for quantity (> 6 is not good) to make better reads and good decisions

:spade: Take more decisions based on reads, do not make them automatic (which I do when multi-tabling 10 or 12 tables)

:spade: Work on my poker mindset, do not tilt

:spade: Take session reviews, work wiz SnG Wiz

:spade: Write down and post every queastionable hand of every session at the hand evaluation forum.

:spade: Complete wacthing bronze and silver SnG videos (love Unam's and Chenny8888's videos and mindset, ty guyz)

:spade: Do sweat sessions with my fellow friends from PS.com through skype

:spade: Become a better SnG player, so I can beat micro limits and move up.

I really need right mindset to BALANCE these things, so I really don't want let any of these rocks to fall.

Good night everyone! Have a nice hand! lol

at lowest point I started take seriously ICM and watched more videos, but mainly it was ICM that helped me, and I'm still workin with marginal situations, so it would be nice to hit + $ till New Year on my graph + I wanna hit gold on PS.com so bad till then. _evil:

till this lowest point my second name was: suck out fish or lucky fish (but still loosing player anyway)
