Good luck to you. Hope you moved up fast. I was in the 1$ Sng for a couple of time but now I moved up to 2$ since I won some changes in a tournament. We'll certainly meet at the table sooner or later.

Again GL grinding the limits!

Yeah, good luck!

nice colorful blog!

I look forward to reading more about your progress as you climb the limits.

Good Skill to ya!

Good luck on your Stars poker journey.

Hope all the good luck on the felt shines your way.

Thx all for the Good Luck

So far I played 2 sets of 4 n did pretty well, I came ITM 6/8, lost 2 on the bubble. My finishes were 1 1st, 2 2nds n 3 3rds. On the 2nd set I played it was pretty hectic cos I was ITM in all 4 n had to rush myself, but I did ok still.

~~~~

Had another really good set ♦ came 1st twice n 2nd in one, the $1.20 sng's are pretty easy so far, lots of bad players n not as many suckouts on stars. I think I played enough poker for tonight, will carry on tomorrow, hopefully my progress will be as good.

BR upto $60.96

Congrats on your start with the SNG's.

Hope you make a steady rise up the the limits. Just make sure you stick to the bankroll management and i'm sure you'll do fine. Also dont forgot to keep reading and watching as well as analysing your hands after you've played them and post any that you're not sure about.

the bad beats are the same tho

Nice blog and good luck on stepping up the limits

Yep, the bad beats are the same, but it seems to bother me less on $1 sng's. Theres still the crapcallers, n then some, so just gotta try to get my money all in when I'm dominating n hope it holds.

Had a breakeven day today.. well managed to lose 30c, but thats not too much.

Here's my stats on stars so far, I've tried to tighten my game up a bit. Comment/critisize if you think my stats aren't good.

Goodluck pOkerQT.
If your interested in playing MTT's as well.
There should be no harm playing in anything up to $1 for a starting bankroll of $50.

It's great to try one if you have 4h free. A win can boost your bankroll. And since you look like a good Sng player, the bubble will be easier to handle; they'll always make mistakes for you to take advantage of.

weeeeee I just folded quads preflop!

I didn't really want to play them after 2 minraises (I'd probably call 1)

I don't think I'm playing too great today, I called an all in with TPGK to be beaten by 2 pair, n lost with AJ to A6. Maybe its just the players are bad, but I shouldn't be lowering myself to their level of play. Will update in a bit with how I get on today

You made the correct decision with the 77's as according to the SHC they are an easy fold to a raise. To be honest the first raiser only makes a min raise so you could really just count him as another limper IMO but there's a 4BB raise after that which you obviously fold to with that hand.

Also definately don't start lowering yourself to the donk's level. If you just concentrate on playing solid strategy according to the articles and SHC then you will beat the donk's in the long run.

In my eyes is easy call for set value. First minireraiser after gets reraised calls in 95% cases in 5% cases he reraise back. And you get awesome odds. UTG have 1,2k chips UTG+1 1,6k as you so call and see what flop brings ♦

At those limits, with so small blinds and bets, I tend to call with 77. I think 77 is a good hand if the preflop bets are cheap. You have the choice between folding if the flop is not in your favor and shoving if you hit the goods. Also at those limits you should scare for BIG bets not small ones. U'll see how people bet hard when they catch something; they are too emotional

I would probably call 1 minraise, but after 2 minraises I'm not so sure my hand is good, I think I just got incredibly unlucky with the 2 7's showing up, its like a 1 in 4000 chance.

And your mp2 there are a lot of players to act behind you... Well played... And if folding preflop and hitting 4ok tilts you... Well you probably need to work on that

I'm not tilting It just sucks when these things do happen. I'm quite prone to tilt though so trying to improve on my mental state when playing, n not let silly things like this affect my ability to play.

Hi ya p0kerQT,

I'm not sure if you've seen this article but if may be of some help if you are prone to tilting at times.
