Hey guys , about a week ago I challenged myself to win without ever looking at my hand, today I finally managed to do it in a 3.5$ SNG, better yet I recorded it. I was pretty excited after I did it and was in a little bit of rush to do other things, so I just grabbed first music I found and put it all together, didn't even watch it to the end so hopefully it turned out good.
I wont stop here, hopefully this becomes a series and I'll upload 18 man, 27man and even bigger fields in the future.

Here is the video

Let me know what you think.

Good stuff, loving your play towards the end. The villain at HU stage really had no fking idea what was going on lol.

How many attempts did it take may i ask and how often did you finish ITM in the "failed" attempts.

Took me 7 tries in total, first few was a total bummer, villains were check-minraising me left and right and I felt I couldn't do anything. But when they finally started missing their 2pair and stuff, i won. I think i was really lucky to win it 1/7 in reality i think 1/20 win would be great because it really isn't that easy. A 3.5$ sng win like this made me just as excited as a regular 5$ 500man mtt final table.

That's a pretty insane achievement Mikus8, superb, I really enjoyed that!

So, will you have another go, or maybe you have some other sick challenge lurking in the background!? _thumbsup:

Very best regards and run hot,

Well there are still a lot of sng's to be won without seeing hole cards , I will definitely try to beat 18mans and 27mans sometime soon, but before that I want to ship some MTT casually with looking at cards, preferably 6th anniv. sunday million

I will let you guys know when I manage to beat my next challenges.

question for OP:

how did you set your preflop betting on stars that it shows the bet amount in terms of BB and on the flop it shows the betting in terms for %%

ive been trying to figure that out with my pokerstars client but can't seem to find it.

i also have tableninja.

You will need to go to OPTIONS in the Pokerstars lobby>
Now go to Bet Slider Options...> tick the option Bet Slider Shortcut Buttons> Fill in the values and your set!

This is how I imagine a fish plays at my table. Without the winning of course.

I just won 18man SNG without seeing a hand, but i'm not really sure about this, I mean, I got soo lucky in some spots it's ridiculous. This one's 14 minutes long, gonna post it when I find suitable music.

It was my first try at 18man's
