[Closed] SnG pro in training

I guys sorry for not posting in a while. I been mostly grinding to get out of this huge downswing I am having

Lately I have decided to playing mostly the normal SnGs because I seem to get a higher ROi and a higher $/hr. I am gotten my bankrollup again to $ 1134 which is nice from my lowest point of just under $ 900.

I also going to give myself a shot to get into the WSOP. I am going to play 10 sessions of 5 step 1 SnG and going to post the results to you

I will most likely be onlyplaying 1 or 2 sessions of these in the week to keep it exiting :].

The first session didnt go super I only got 2 step 1 an 1 step 2

tried an other session of steps right, just.

I was horrible unlucky and only got 2 step1 results. 2 of which I lost throught that QQ run into AA and also I didn't manage to win any of the flips. But the most unlucky hand probably is this one:

Will be playing 1 more session of normal $ 11 SnG's today and then back to studiing for my test for tomorrow

52o

The softest steps SnGs are the normal speed 18 man ones. Even I can get tickets out of those.

Good luck!

@ jbpatzer: yeah you got to love it ♦. I am playing the 9 man normal ones think they probably as soft as the 18 man one.

I had to play some turbo $ 12 in my session because the $ 11 werent loading fast enough and there where 4 multitablers on a few of them. What almost never happens on these.

Dispite that I did pretty well I played 5 $ 12 turbo and 5 $ 11 normals. In the turbos I 1st twice and 2nd twice and on the normals I only got 2 2nds

So in total I got $ 97.40 , an average roi of 84.7 % and itm in 60 % so a really nice session ^^

I only got 10 point short of 125 today unfortunatly so that means I will play 1 more session of those step 1 and post my result after that

In the last session of the day I played an other 5 Step 1 SnG for what is my WSOP challenge.

This session whened a bit better then the last 2 I even got a little lucky.

I ended up taking 2 step 2 tickets and 1 step 1 ticket

I played 3 more sessions today of 5 step 1 SnGs and it whened rather well for a change.

The first session I got 2 step 2 tickets and 2 step 1 tickets

the second session I got 3 step 2 tickets

the third session I got 2 step 2 tickets and 2 step 1 tickets

playing these I wanted to make video of my progress. So I recorded my second session with camtasia. At least that is what I though because after redoing my intro I probably forgot to hit record again because it didnt record :f_mad:.

So I did it again the third session a bit and did record it this time. After editing and spliting the file I wanted to upload it to youtube but now I get an error that he cannot convert the videofile :f_cry:.

I will look a bit into this but cant make any promises at this point. Although if someone know what the problem might be. Please let me know.

I also played a session of 10 $ 11 SnG and got 50 % itm 1 3rd place and 4 2nd places :f_mad:.

Yeah I finally got the video uploaded to youtube :f_cool:.

If anyone is intrested in watching it. This is the link:

Step 1 SnGs part 1

I will try to get part 2 up as fast as possiblwe, but I still need to study for my next test on friday so it probably going to take a few days.

only played 1 session today of 5 step 1 SnG's. Which didn't go to bad I got 4 step 1 and 1 step 2 so highest itm on a session ever :f_p:.

I will not be playing for a couple of days now since I have to really study hard on my test since it is a pretty difficult subject.

So see you all on friday ♠_cool:

Still managed to get one session in between studiing.

5 step 1 SnG's and got an other 2 step 2 tickets and 2 step 1 tickets

So already played 40 step 1 tickets so far and will play last 2 session tomorrow.

I bought in to 50 step 1 . In total I got 19 step and 18 step 2. So it was a really nice start ^^.

I also played a few session with the tickets I won so far I played 11 step 2 but as great the steps 1 went, so horrible are the step 2 going so far as I only been able to get 1 step 3 ticket, 3 step 2 and 1 step 1.

I also played a session of 6 step 1 tickets where a got 2 step 1 and 1 step 2.

I also played 2 session of 6 $ 11 SnG's on saterday and ran pretty bad :(.In the first session I at least managed to finish the last 2 games 2nd and 1st so that I still made a small profit but the second session did even go worse and I only managed to get 2nd once ;(.

I have also tried my hand on some cashgames with the take 2 event going on it seemed like value in it so far I played 407 hand on NL10 and have gotten $ 19.50 so not a bad result so far.

Furthermore I have finally made some time to put up the 2nd part of a step 1 session I played. If anyone is intrested in watching it you can find it here:

step 1 part2

So how does this work?

When you reach step 4 you can sign for a satellite for WSOP or somethinG? This seems very interesting to me since there's a lot of 9 man turbos

@ stevegold87: you can try to go all the way to step 7 and win it or you can use a step 5 or step 6 ticket for a mtt WSOP sat. . I innitialy was going for the step 7 option but I might go for the mtt option to it just depends it which I think my chances are best.

while they whole pokerworld was in a panic I actually took the time to massively grind and finally managed to play more then 100 SnGs in a day ♦.

I also withdrew a big chunk of my bankroll just to be on the save side in case this thing is going horrible bad.
