My name is belthazor like the demon on charms.I had an old blog but unfortunately i ruined it because i posted only bad beats.The purpose of this blog is to see my effort to play in highstakes of sit n gos at the end of 2011.I ll post here interesting hands for discuss and both graphs to evaluate my progress.I ll start from 5.5$ regular 9 man sit n go.The main change of the past is that i saw a lot of videos based on sit n gos and i understood better the game.I hope u will follow my progress and give me advices as well

as you can see near my 5 tourney i runned super hot so i pump up the winnings.After i took a long break of 3 mins i started another 6 table session.And i made pretty good bubbling to all of them but some people still calling a-7 with 10bb so i cashed in only four.So today played 12 tables with the following finishing distirbutions:
1-8.3
2-25.0
3-16.7
4-25.0
5-8.3
6-8.3
7-0.0
8-8.3
9-0.0
10-0.0

And da daaaaa the sickest hand of my session:

Today i had plenty of free time so i choose instead of putting volume to study a bit.I saw 4 gold videos,2 of pzhon the calling all in and the icm,2 from lessthanthreee stats and notes and the hem filters.I will try to see the 3 videos of the session review with chenny888 until the night.Learning pretty interesting things studying icm but still missing a lot of things i ll see again and again the videos.My opinion about 5.5$ is that they are pretty soft even the regular players call light all ins and i cant understand why.For example with are 3 players i shove with 5500 sb has 2000 and folds and and bb with 5500 calls with a-10.I didnt calculate this hand with the icm but i definitely thing that is totally wrong calling ace ten there.Today i runned normal lost the most coins won some underdog loose some underdog.I ll put one two more hours studying today than playing.My finish distirbution for today is

1-16.7
2-8.3
3-41.7
4-0
5-8.3
6-8.3
7-16.7
8-0
9-0
10-0

i am impressed with the times i finished third than second and first maybe one leak there,i think this is because they call light when we are 3 handed(donkey thinking)

My graph for the two days is:

Hi man, nice blog. Will def follow since im starting out with sngs as well :) I'd like to ask you, what brm do you use?

Joined: 12.02.2011

i started with 50$ playing 5.5$ sit n go regular speed.If and when i have 120 bi i ll move up to 11$.generally i believe a brm of 100bi+20bi when you move up a level is pretty fine.And imo until you perfect your game stick to regular because turbos need near no mistakes

Ty for answer ;) I honestly dont think im ever gonna switch to turbos, i really dont like when the blinds increase that fast.
Btw the hand between Hellmuth and Wiggins is soo good for poker.. ppl just gonna think "oh i can just stick all my money as a 9 to 1 dog and still win 160k." :f_biggrin:

Today i played two sessions of 6 tables each.As you can see bellow in my first session i runned again super super hot especially near my 4 tourney.Still i owned the fishes finishing my first session only with -6$ meaning one bi.

I took no break and i started immediately another session because i was feeling really really good about my super hot run finishing with a +25.5$ running normal imo
My general graph goes like this:

MY finishing distirbution for today is:
1-8.3
2-33.3
3-8.3
4-8.3
5-16.7
6-16.7
7-0
8-8.3
9-0

I believe that 5.50$ are beatable with basic knowledge of sit n go strategy.Many players really really suck.I suck too in my 1v1 play i think i will download the nash hu and stick to these because i loose a lot money in 1v1 and many times i force myself to make deals to be more profitable.If you would like to understand how bad are many players, just look the hands bellow:

Hey bro, do yourself and favor and do like me and turn your chat off. It will just tilt you more to speak with donkey. If you want to do deal turn the chat on just for the deal. Don't speak with anyone....

Also looks like your doing well so keep it up and GL

I did some practice in icm trainer with the following results:
1)6 handed with blinds 50/100---->94% Here the icm suggests to push 10bb with q10s utg with i respectfully disagree and he said we should push 54s from sb when i push with 43s and i believe from sb we could push even 32s profitably

2)5 handed with blinds 80/160---->96% icm advice me to push a bit wider because used to push tighter than it suggests

3)4 handed with blinds 100/200---->92% most examples that icm shows them wrong is because of one card.For example i pushed a7 when i should have pushed a8 and better or i pushed 53s when i should have pushed 64s.In my mind and in the game i dont think that is a big difference in low suited connectors and in middle aces

4)4 handed with blinds 120/240----->96% nothing to say here i believe i done pretty well,icm advices to call lighter but when in bubble i dont like to call a8 and a7 for example :/

Any advices and suggestions are welcome

I dont know what i did to full tilt software and i cant run good.Played two sessions one of 6 table one of 9 table with a net loss of 6$ when my ev should be +7.85.I ll definitely play again in the evening but i need a break to make some icm practice and see my opponents how they are playing.I ll list only my today morning graph which is:
