Sng Death House

im considering starting to 12 table 11's, 22's, and 33's to break away from the cash game grind for a bitweee

I always play a few sngs a day, mostly HU and during happy hour on full tilt, so I can easily reach my 200ftp pt per day quota. SNGs do drive you insane, but are easily beatable. It feels like I've played more but sharkscope only has me at 400 or so combined on Tilt and Stars. My avg roi is close to 20% tho, I just wish I had that willpower to 8 table 9 man sngs for hours at a time. Maybe tomorrow I'll rack up FPPs on Stars doing this

You no what I act like this alot cos it coincides with my playing alot of sng's. Just been grinding the 6 max 36$'s and some 60$s on full tilt for the last month and aiming for 20-40 a day. (Don't know if this is uber low volume but there is only so much 4 tabling i can cope with in a day)Going quite well but main goal is to bring the ROI back up to 10% of a little down spike. I will say SNG's make me laugh far more than go on suicide watch because it amazes me some of the hands that get shown down or why people are willing to flip with AK on the 2nd hand

Probably not going to be in here too much as I recently moved on to cash but I grinded the 6man turbos and ultra turbos on FT then UB. After I bust my roll ill be back. I know everyone hates UB but play the 6man ultras there if you want to build a quick roll

Does this include 45-man and 90-man SNGs or just 9-man SNGs?

Any SNGs. Doesnt really matter. Just a place to talk strat and bit.ch about SNGsBut lets try and keep Strat talk >> biotching

omg i would rather work in a cubicle for 50 hours a week than grind out sngs for a living.

This is soo true. Your avatar looks just like me after a day of grinding SNGs

My goals for the rest of the month for sng'sPlay 400 $11 6 handed ut'sBreak the 1k mark in my BRNot have to withdraw my BR for billsStart using some kind of program to track my sng profit (anyone know something that works with UB) Gary do you multi table sng's to be able to play 2k? I only play one table because I like to concentrate.

Yes, I 16 table. If your going to play SNGs you have to learn to play more tables

Over/under 3 days?

Over

Bah ended up 47th in the high orbit of venus, 40 pay. Only 27 points behind so just one more 2nd or a 3rd into a 1st, hopefully this week I can do better. Ran cold in the last 20 with only 2 wins, oh well still was quite profitable.

SnGs= Profit.Specifically, turbo SnGs

I'm convinced that playing more than 4 tables at a time can be detrimental to a bankroll. I mean, seriously, I actually have a hard time concentrating on playing 4. I don't know how you SNG grinders can play 12 at a time. Cause to me, to play more than 4, you pretty much become a poker robot with a standard playbook for all the situations that consistently arise. You don't really have the time to make good decisions. You're no longer playing against the other players because you have to concentrate on a bunch of other tables. You miss opportunities to bluff or steal on the button. You get into situations where you hold JJ but you fold it because there's a raise, reraise, and a rereraise all in before it gets to you, only to get pissed off when the 3 player turn over 99, TT, A3. Had you not been playing so many tables, you would know that these player's pushing ranges were pretty wide and your JJ's a monster favorite. Bottom line - how do you crazy fools do it? How do you play more than 4 sng's at a time and have it be more profitable?

I only really play 4 tables at a time, but I've played up to 8. The thing is that as long as you play tight in the SNGs your decisions are easy and you really don't have to worry about getting reads on players or really stealing on the button. In the lower buyin SNGs, you'll get paid off alot with your good hands.Oh and to those that know how I play, yes I did say play tight.

Ive been trying to get better at sngs for a while now. Ive played 1369 games and im down only $23, so its not like im terrible at them I just cant seem to make any profit, I just keep breaking even. What would you guys recommend me do to be able to start making good profit? Ive been thinking of buying sng wiz, would that be worth it?

Go down to a level you can beat. to get better watch videos, read some SNG articals,post some hands and grind a ton...

Dunno what all the hate on sng's is about. Theres nothing more boring than the tight ass poker that is full ring cash. Plus I run sooo good at 6handed sng's Last 50 games @ $5.50 Out: 247.5 In: 384.0ROI = 55.15%

My SNG goal is to never play one again

this is such a good goal.

I have a bet with Sam (makeyourself), it is as follows:I must play 100 sng's in a 24 hour period. They must be 6 max (or more) and cannot be 300 chips (must be 1500 chips, turbo's are allowed). I must also post some sort of positive ROI. GL me

not.a. chance. (btw i do think this could easily be done if you 6+ table but as 'bigbrennan' usually 4 tables i think this is super hard and if he upped it to like 10 tables at a time his roi would defo go way down, maybe even negative and its his first 100 that count)

Hmm, looks interesting guys, gl with it

GL, I think it can definitely be done. Last weekend, I played 100 non-turbo SNGs on Full Tilt (see this thread) and played for a total of 14 hours 4-tabling. I managed an ROI of 15%. If you play turbos, you might actually have some more time for decent breaks, so getting a positive ROI should not be too hard.Still quite a challenge, though - looking forward to seeing your progress!

I had a dream last night that I tried to 10 table sngs but kept busting out of them before I could get 10 tables actually up and I got really angry.

Easy. You might hate yourself at the end but, easy imo.

[babylondonks 5]

I'd just like to mention that I won a 4-man HU SNG. I'm pretty awesome.

lol why would you do that to yourself. 100 in a day 4 tabling is pretty gross. plus this is like in a 24 hour period, 00.00 to 11.59pm etc. so he has to give up his standard 12 hour sleeping and prolly not have many breaks etc. tbh i think playing a hundred is 'quite hard', the most i've managed before i lost the will to live was like 45 in a day. BUT imo what makes this hard is the +roi, and Ian doesn't run fantastically well on any given day lol. anyways im sure that he won't mind me mentioning we just have a buy in to any sunday major on this, and im sure one of us will be gloating the very near future.

and Ian doesn't run fantastically well on any given day lol.

Understatement of the year. I think over a sample of 100 the bad beats won't be to blame for me losing the bet, it will be my sanity.

Once I get a reliable internet connection I'm gonna go back to grinding SNGs to pay for rent. Yeah, I'm a sick man.
