I only play 20 SNGs on Full Tilt. I am trying to break 35 % cashes. for a month I am at about 42 %. I think as you go higher the games split. The action players are wilder and the tights are in LOCKDOWN mode. If you go lower, its just people who aren't all that serious.JMORay

If you are losing, alway plug big leaks FIRST, then move to the smaller ones1. GAME SELECTION, are you playing too high to make the right play, are you playing tough games. If you are playing tough games, don't expect a good earn. Are you playing too high for your bankroll.2. GAME ADJUSTMENT are you adjusting to the players, or are you making the same "plays" no matter who is there. You must know that certain plays work better at certain tables than others ... make sure your not on autopilot.3. BASICS are you playing too many hands, starting with the wrong hands in the wrong position, ove

They get 1200/hr. while playing.

Is there anyone who doesn't push here.Ray

You are the BB and you have QQ. You have 9800 in chips, the table average is about twice that with 3 stacks that are 30,000 to 50,000. You are not the shortest stack.Blinds are 600/1200 with an ante.Full Table: Fold, Fold, Fold, 1200 call, Fold, 5500 bet, Fold, All in (30,000)The all in bet was from a large stack who had been pushy and had just lost a big pot, to the 1200 caller.Generally speaking, I dont mind pushing here because I am below par and have to pick a hand here soon and ride it. However I have been finishing deep in a lot of tournaments but not making any final tables.Earlier

Im in. I would prefer a 500 or 1000 buy in to limit the amount of donkness.Ray

I'm votin this best quote EVER. lolRay

I've had a few things happen at the table that were funky ... but this story is just a story ... how do I know?She is racking her chips at the end. How could she if she mucked her hand?You simply don't get the pot, bad beat or not, if you muck ... so in this story, she doubles him up.... Boo YaaaRay
