Sng Challenge Thread

[Poker Addict 0]

I am taking these a little more seriously after running pretty goot in the Steps and doing well in several $20 single tables. So I will playing more. Don't have a specific challenge for myself cuz I need to head back to Chicago this month. But I will share results for the month.

i dont even know if i like a cbet on this flop.. i guess i would throw out 350 and fold to any raise

[Canary3 1]

gary.... did you wind up winning anything from the sit n go madness raffle.

[sennin 0]

hand

Id cbet a little more than 1/2 pot here, and shut down if played back at

hand

i think id raise the turn here and get it all in, at least if he has the flush we can hope to hit a boat, but from my exp at the 16s we're getting paid off a lot by some crap 2 pair here

Bump to try to revive this thing.Ive been starting up a sng experiment the last few weeks. Starting out near the bottom grinding the 6.50s. Trying to play atleast 30 per day and have worked up to 10 tabling so far. Also been mixing in some studying with PXF and SNG wiz.Results so farSNGs -202Profit - 156ROI - 12%Also will get some rakeback.Im hoping to ply atleast 1K SNGs next month and eventually move up to the 11s. Also can hopefully pay off SNG wiz, FTShortcuts and a few other tools.Anyone else still grinding these?

I check behind, chances of everyone folding in a 5way pot here isnt very high(even if it wasnt all spades im still checking here, in a turbo sng you play your small med pairs to hit a set and nothing more, occasionally if its you in pos vs 2-3 people you can take a stab), and im folding to any bet on turn river unless 7s rolls off

Good start to the month.Playing the 6.50s right now, hopefully can move up to the 11s soon.Played - 51ROI - 17%ITM - 45%Profit - $57Sitting 40th on FTP low leaderboard.Not running so great HU. Def have some things to fix there only finishing at 31%. Ill probably go through some HHs, take a break and play more later.

[Jam-Fly 8]

Wats up SNG FCPers!! I'll be playing alot of $12 180 turbos, and $12/$27 turbos.What would be a good ROI in each of these to maintain, IYO?

[stevielarson 0]

pretty sure guys can maintain >100% in the 12/180s. dont have info to back it up but remember it from somewhere
