Hello. I write this blog rather for myself. I'm SnG newbie but I hope I will will learn to play this kind of poker soon. I will keep track of my progress here. By now I did that using my notebook but I hope "going public" will improve my game.

I started playing SnGs a week ago. I play them in sets of 6. This way I play about 12-18 SnG a day. I don't use PT3 yet (I used it a lot before). Now I just try to learn the strategy. Some of you might say that multitabling is a bad thing for a beginner but I used to play 16 tables SSS on NL50. SnGs are far more complex, that's why I play only 6.

My bankroll: 52$

I play standard FR SnG 1$+0.20$ on FTP

In my notebook I write my worst moves from my sessions to find the spots to improve.

No excuses... :) I thought about approaching BB but 5,5 BB is not that bad yet. A6o is not enough for pushing UTG with 5 players in front. Each on of them could call with 10-20% of their ranges. I had maybe 50% of fold equity. After a call I'm usually an underdog. That wasn't worth it.

Way too loose. Maybe against ultra tight opponents it could good but not here.

Maybe the worst push today. Same reasoning as in the first example. I just got lucky.

OK, I'm going to live tournament now so that's it for today.
