Ran bad and lost a bit in the $3.40's last night. Down to $69. I'm gonna put in a bunch of SNG's tonight. Let's see what happens...

[Snake Plissken 0]

Think I'm done for tonight. Solid performance. I was over $100 but finally dropped down a little bit.

[Snake Plissken 0]

played 17 sng's and broke even (or lost $2). Got myself some food and I'm back in bussiness. I was planning on playing 40 sng's today so I guess I have 23 left. I'm currently focusing on the 9-handed $3.40 non turbos. So I'm at $92 now but we'll see what happens

[Snake Plissken 0]

didn't play all 23. played like 15-17 more or something. I thought I ran bad but I won a bit. Over $100 now! The non-turbos is obv better for me but damn they take forever

[Snake Plissken 0]

So I was thinking to set up some BR management rules. The $3 sng's was so soft so I didnt bother too much about BR management since I was expecting to be winning right off the bat. I'm still expecting to be winning in higher buy ins but I thought it would be a good idea with a bit of structure in my challenge. I've listed the different sng's I'm interested in below and the BR I need in order to play them:$3.25 6-max turbo$3.40 10-max turbo$3.40 9-handed --- 25>$5.50 9-handed$6.50 9-handed turbo$6.50 6-max turbo$6.60 6-max --- $200$11 9-handed$13 6-max turbo$13 6-max$16 9-handed turbo --- $400$22 9-handed$25 6-max turbo$25 6-max$27 9-handed turbo --- $600I think this is pretty aggressive and as you can see I'm allowing myself to play with a larger % of my BR in the mid buy in sng's. This is how I want it at the time and we'll see how it works out. I may change it later on. I'm gonna stick to this and not play any sng without support of my BR management.

lost a little bit. Played very sloppy and was multi tabling 12 tables 6-max. I don't really like that and I hate doing it for long but I just wanna get to the next level. Not a big downswing though. Was down at around $80 but made a solid comeback.

[Snake Plissken 0]

Played another 16 sng's. Might play another session before I go to bed. I have 14 left to 100 played sng's this week. I was hoping to catch some battle of planets cash but that seems far away. I played way too sloppy in some session so it will be very tough to even reach the leaderboard. Oh well, I guess I'm gonna play another 100 before the end of the week and hopefully I'll be in top 40 of the leaderboard.

[Snake Plissken 0]

Penny hyperturbos - that sounds pretty ridiculous :DAre you just playing one table sit and goes or multi table ones as well? Also, does it make sense to play SNGs that count towards the battle of planets or are they flooded with tougher opponents?

sorry coolhand, didn't notice your question until now. I play STT's. I might play some of the 18-man or 27-man sng's since I get more BOP points from them. The variance is bigger in those sng's and they take longer, thats why I focus on STT's. The BOP promotion is flooded with sick players at the very top. The lower divisions are weak and I'm confident I'll get some BOP cash sooner or later. The very first week they launched the BOP I actually finished 4th in the venus division high orbit. I think I got 120 dollars for my effort and a BOP 50k triple shootout ticket. I didnt cash in that one though

[Snake Plissken 0]

played another 14. ran so bad. damn I played very well (as good as you can in turbos) but got smacked in the face by beat after beat. oh well. thought I lost more than I did.

[Snake Plissken 0]

Gonna start paying more attention to my challenge. Last weak I got around 1250 BOP points. This weak I'm going for the leaderboard win (gotta aim high). I have to play good and run good to make it. I'm gonna play the 9-handed non turbos to reduce variance. So I'm starting right now. Gonna update in a few hours.

so I guess I'm gonna ignore this since I ran like shit and play poorly after that. It's a struggle but I'm gonna play a TON tonight. 12-tabling the 10-max. Hopefully I can play around 100 of them

How did this session go Snake?@JSpencer, I was definitely sarcastic there.

straight to hell. Played cash games at full tilt at the same time. Wasn't focused on my sng challenge. I actually won about $10 since I was at 90 when I started y-day (have to get better at editing the OP). I was up at about 130 but went on a bad rush. Played 77 sng's. Gonna play focused next time!

[JSpencer 0]

88 cents left on my account...not much I can do with that besides the 10 cent tournaments...and I hate those.Kind wish I wouldn't have cashed out so quickly. Guess I'll need to somehow turn 88 cents into 5 bucks and play SnG's

well I'm doing this on Full Tilt and Im up from 0 - 135 in 2 days.3$ + .30 MTT's all day

[Snake Plissken 0]

havent played in a while until today. played well and ran pretty good too. played 40 sng's and I now have 666 BOP points this week. thats pretty good. Perhaps I'll play another 10 or 20 before I go to sleep.

[Chet Chetterson 0]

Snake do you have a chart or table to help us see your total progression? If not it's no big deal.

nah sorry..Just finished 100 sng's this week. And yes I was a bad boy and played in the venus division. I actually played a few tourneys and a friend of mine HU plo. So i lost a bit and was down to 50 again. As stated in the first post I was allowed to do this if I deposited more $ to cover it up. Didn't feel to do that so I played with an aggressive BR management to go broke or get back on track. It worked out. Got $200 now. And I can post a screen shot of my results. Hope it makes you happy Chet . Thanks for postingProbably wont stay at 11th or even make it to top 40 when the week is over but I'll give it another 100 so we'll see if I can get a better result.

[Snake Plissken 0]

How embarrassing, I'm a bronze star. Now everyone knows damnit.

[Chet Chetterson 0]

I meant your progression through your challenge so far, not the leaderboard.Congrats though.

No I'm sorry you have to sharkscope me. There is the best thing to see it all. The challange started around the 2000th sng. Oh, and the SN is Kungsvatten.

Marathon session today. A lot of tables open. Allready up $50 after 17 sng's so far. Would like to play 80 or something but we'll see about that.

won $13 this session but was up way more. kinda disappointed but I'll be back. BR at $213.57 now. Finished 42nd in the BOP high orbit venus divison leaderboard last week. Missed out some cash there.

[JSpencer 0]

Was up to $800 from 0, fairly impressed with myself.Would love to transfer some to pokerstars but FTP is being cruel.Managed to waste 80+ today....Sundays hate me. But I forsee myself hitting the 1K mark in the next week or so..if not sooner.
