After that it was matter of time to be in the money ^^.I had to play solid game and finish 3rd after a push with AK
(the 7-3suited is after the QK hand(my mistake))

Haha nice,
I love when those miracles happens...not often but it's fun!

Hey man nice blog, but are you just trolling with variance? No offense dude but what are you experiencing is definitely not variance, very small sample size and you are actually running pretty good. I just don't get it why you whine about these situations.
You should check out downswing reports on forum, when i have a bad day, i look at some graphs and start feeling better.
Good luck at the tables and don't let set-ups and such things let you down, you are doing very good!

thanks for you kind words.no i am not trolling of course.I dont run well when i have -63$ if i have runned well i would be -10$ or -15$.But of course the purpose of the blog isnt to talk about variance.It is a diary to post my progress and my feelings and some interesting situations(like the above) and hands.I would be grateful if you keep following my blog and any suggestions about what will make my blog more interesting are accepted ^^

i only runned good today ♠_grin: I started playing 5.50$ and i will move up to 6.50$ when i have 120bi.But there is a chance because i dont like turbo style(much more variance)i will move up to 11$ sit n go when i will have 120bi for that level ♠_o:

i have played only 3 sets in 3 days with no comments....basically only one comment.........booooooooooooooooring...

Yeah baby...variance?boriiiing

I think you are already doing a good job...

Watching videos, posting hands, reviewing with SNG wizard, ICM training are the only options to train in SNGs imo.

SNGs are quite frustrating sometimes, if you start running good you might run good for long time, but when a BE spot hits, it can also last forever...

best of luck to you too

I like that he says 9-10?But he called anyway.I cant understand how some players are thinking

The last three days passed with two breakeven session and one winning session.I dont play much because variance tend to get me tired a lot.Moreover i see donks playing terrible.Sometimes you are happy when a donk plays terrible like this:
