[Closed] SNG from the small to high stakes

I feel so tired and so dissapointed..i hope tomorrow will be a better day

Today i dropped from 7 tables to 6 :f_o:.I have made a nice profit of 24$ in my first session.I could observe thinks more clear.As i see there are a lot of fishes in the 11$ sit n go.The game is more different.The players are very very tighter and there is a huge difference in their pushing ranges ♠_mad:.I ll drop today again from 6 to 4 tables so i can observe the things better and while i feel more comfortable in this level i will move up.Moreover i would like to ask what is a sweat session? ♠_o:

Hi Belthazorrrr

A sweat session is a session where someone watch you play. So you can explain your thought and your actions and it helps you really put some thoughts in your play. It can be silent where the person watching keeps quiet during your play and gives their comment after or not and the person watching gives their comment during the play

oo thanks...didnt know that :)...Moreover i would like to know if people do this for free or charge?

Coaches do it for a fee (generally ♦), but a lot of people do it reciprocally, to improve their game with someone of approximately the same level.

thanks man good luck to you too

I had a talk at skype with lessthanthreee.He told me that a sample of 433 sit n gos means nothing and i should have a sample of 1k to see if i could beat the limit i play.So i will be back to 5.50$ to perfect my strategy and then if i still have decent roi after 1k i ll try to the next level which is the 11$.So from tomorrow i ll study again for the 5.50$s.And i ll have some goals from now on that i ll update each week

Goals till 17th April:

-Play 90 sit n gos
-Watch 5 videos
-Get 96% in icm
-Call only 8 times donk a villain(use to curse everyone after each bust) ♠_evil:
-Complain only one day about bad beats(i do this everyday) ♠_grin:
-Post 20 hands in evaluating forum
-Comment in 20 hands
-Review my sessions 2 times
-Train before i begin play and not after ♠_o:
-Solve at least 4 sit n go quizzes ♠_love:

Wish me luck...I ll need it

Sounds like a good plan, good luck!

Haha I love the goal for the bad beats and cursing only 8 times on a bad beat ♠_love:. I think I have to aim for these goals myself ♠_biggrin:
By the way I saw you like two days ago at one of my tables - are you playing 6.50 turbo as well?
I am up for a sweat session if you are

I was in tilt thats why i played turbo because i was in need to start pushing things :)...I am thinking to switch from reg to turbos but i dont know.Turbos=high variance and more regs so ♠_cry:

I took 3 quizzes for the morning but i have some questions.

First quizz with the AK one i had 90% which is pretty well

Second quizz with the push/fold against regulars i had only 48% meaning 10/21 because i believe we push very light,i have one question for the QKs hand.Why just dont raise 2-2.5bb here and we prefer to shove risking average of our half stack?I believe raise folding is best here ♠_evil:

Third quizz is the one with push fold Ax i had 80% meaning 8/10 but i have two points to refer:

In first question imo AJ is profitable to call if he pushes 44% with his range.I think AJ+,88+ is profitable enough when someone pushes so wide

In the eighth question against a tight pushing range of 20% AT sucks.There arent any hands that you could beat.

I would like to hear your thoughts too

QUESTIONS:

1-Why fold preflop AJ from MP in 9:55mins bottom left in an unopened pot?
2-25/50 why folded QT from button in unraised pot?

Thanks in advance

This is my graph for the 11$:

First i would like to tell that i withdraw all my money and left only 20bi for the 11$ meaning 220$ because of the situation now

I dont think i play but in this limit but i think i run very very unlucky.I played really bad in 1v1 situations but generally i think i played good.Let me analyze:

Finish distirbutions for 5.50$:

1-17.2
2-13.1
3-16.3
4-10.8
5-14.3
6-10.1
7-10.1
8-3.9
9-4.1

Finish distirbutions for 11$:

1-10.9
2-16.3
3-11.6
4-14.0
5-11.6
6-14.0
7-7.8
8-11.6
9-2.3

As i observe there is a huge difference in places 1,8,9.I know i have big leak in 1v1 but i was curious to see how its possible to loose so much in 8 and 9 places.(I dont want to whine just to be more observant and hear thoughts)

9th place beats:

-My JJ crushed against QQ when all flop where undercards
-Ace high flush beated from straight flush
-99set beated from Gutshot straight draw in river

8th place beats:

-QQ vs JJ set all in flop
-99 vs AA set over set
-QQ vs KK all in preflop
-AJ vs AT he flopped two pair
-AJspades vs A9 all in with flop 894 two spades
-TT push called by AK i had 13 bb and was bvb war
-KQ vs 56 all in flop in K56 board
-A9s vs 33 12bbs bvb(bb called 12 bb with 33 ♠_o:)
-QQ vs 82 flop 825 and then all in
-AJ vs AK in bvb war bb was very loose

My conclusion is that i didnt played bad.When it was supposed that i was putting my money ahead i always saw a better or an improved hand.The only thing that really really frustrates me is that MY RED LINE IS SO FUCKED UP BECAUSE OF THESE BEATS.Normally he went down down when i put my QQ vs two pair my whole stack.I really think from 9 till 3 players i didnt made many mistakes.Yes i have big leaks in 3 people and heads up i agree,but i ll work in them.

I have 14.5bi left for 11$ but i ll move down to 5.50$ if i lost 6 more bis ♠_cry: ♠_cry: ♠_cry: ♠_cry: to see my confidence arise again.

I would like to hear any thoughts bad or good i dont mind

The last one preflop i am not expecting to win but when i lost from the last 2 aces JESUS

Yo man,
I got 2 things to say about the % of the finish results:
firstable, your 11$ sample is not enough large to compare it to an other sample results, or whatever, and this you know it!!
the second thing is that the difference, doesnt mean you're doing bad at 11$ games... If you were finishing that rarely in 8th and 9th place at 5.5$ games, thats because of the few gamblers on the table, who can't last more than 10 or 15 hands before they bust, on 11$ games players are more serious, so its not your fault, just keep working on your game + strategy and try to make the max value on this limit.
in 3 handed and hu play, if you feel you're not doing well thats an other story, you can review the HH and see whats wrong with that.

now for the red line, personally i think its not a big probleme, that red line is not really realistic (if it's the right word), for exemple when you win AA vs KK all in pre, you feel that you deserve the pot, but in reality you deserve only 4/5 of the pot, and you luckboxed to win the other 20%... so the red line envolves some complicated calculations (more complicated than the exemple), so you dont realy have to care about it all the time.
