Hey miljonszalie!
At first i had to say i like your blog and your enthousiasme! I play at Full Tilt Poker too, but 2 $ +0.25 (not Turbo). I guess SNG's with fast blind increase are really hard to play as a rookie =). Try also SNG's wihtout Turbo,you can relax and dont have to do as many descissions as in Turbo in Lategame. Maybe you could try!
I wish you the best luck at the tables, hope we can see later at one table (FTP name : buelebuel)
have a good night ,keep updating your blog!

p.s. : didnt notice that on 1 $ they take 20 % rake. this sucks...at 2 $ they "only" take 12,5 %. At one session you pay for at least 1 $...when you do 6 table.my advice decrease it to 4 tables! i can also do 4 table without turbo and its sometimes exhausting to play a massive hands in lategame.

Lol, 3-bet/shove A9o w. >30 bb.... so standard :P
I had about 4 hands in my last set where KK beat my AA, 88 beat my KK, 22 beat my QQ etc. Laugh that sh*t off, you'll get soooo used to it man _biggrin:

Grats on the hoodie, too. Very jealous :P

a good trick is to shout out your opponent's outs at the screen. works for me every time.

like when he has A9 vs your AK. shout out 9! 9! 9!

the RNG gets confused and doesnt know what to do.

this (" shout out" ) means write his previous outs on chat???

I didn' t get it at first...

just yell at your computer screen. scream at it really loud!

he's joking dude :f_p: he means you yell the card he needs at the screen, so shout "QUEEN! QUEEN!" when you get his QQ vs your KK. i find this amusing.
