Ok I have a sharkscope sub now. Already had interest from Nova in using it, if anyone else wants in then PM.

Been continuing with the HU SNG today. $10 games really are quite simple. Most people that play them are losing players.

I do keep an eye on the higher tables though for fish. I found this guy waiting for a $30 game.

How could I not play? :lol:

He got me down to 380 chips like 3rd hand.

He was on the BTN and min raised. I called with T9o. Flop A9X two spades. I lead out for 60. He raises to 120. I call. Turn 9 (not a spade). I check. He bets 260. I make it 520 knowing he cannot fold his ace. He calls. River spade. He bets something small. I call. He shows 84s. :fp:

Anywho I crushed his balls and won. For some reason in the BB he had check fold clicked quite often so I just started min raising every button and he gave up maybe 80%. Built up a stack then prawned.

Just missed getting a game with this guy for $30. -_-

EDIT: For some reason images not working if I post them with tags. Maybe url is too long?

EDIT: Ok they don't work at all. Just imagine really steep graphs going down to -4 grand.

You have to save the images and then upload to imageshack.

I might play tonight. Not sure what though. 45 or 180 man probs.

Not going to be able to play for a bit. The net here is gay. Cost me $30 in wins today. I get disconnected and lose over half my stack and sometimes even more or just lose the SNG. I'm going to stop playing until I move to Aaron's where the net isn't crappy.

Everything about the SNG are fine though. Finding them quite easy. Most people are terrible. Give up blinds so much and some people don't ever raise the button! Will grind the crap out of them when I move in August and get back on my pc.

Thats my plan starting from next week to grind SNG's not looking forward to the grind but at low stakes it should be easy its just going to take a long time.

How many do you play at once? If you can play 6 or so it would be useful to speed things up.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFS.

Today the net is fine so I played some $10. They were all going fine then I managed to accidentally register for a $100 HU SNG. The tables go quite fast so I open one, sharkscope then insta register if they are donk. I managed to get a $100 one though. I was like fuuuuuuck. Anyway he was gooseberry fool so it would be ok? He played pretty terrible. Limping lots of buttons etc and folding OOP way too much. I got him down to 500 chips. (2500 for me).

Blinds 30/60. BTN I raise KTo to 120. He calls. Flop KQ8. I bet 120, he shoves. I call. He has 68. Turn 8. River 6. Nice boat.

So now he has 1k. He built up a bit more to like 1300. I get Q9. Flop top pair. Lead out. He raises. I shove. He calls with a flush draw. Hits.

Down to 500 or so. I shove A5. He calls with KQ. Flops two pair. Turns FH.

Goodbye $100. I SUPPOSE the good thing is I prawned him. He won with repeated suckout/hitting. Bit annoying though. Roll is £684 ~ $1120 >_< Let's hope when I play $20's I don't open a 200...

Seems like quite a few people are on a bad run at the moment.

What amazes me is that I'm not one of them. :lol:

You really are upsetting the natural order of things.

Agreed. Give us luck back plz.

Overall though I'm running and playing fine, just one stupid mistake really. Pretty confident about crushing these games.

I'm going to play now.

Oh dear

You know that when I'm a little run the poker world is f****d!

Me too. We're total degens. Let us know how you get on!

I'm going to play now as well!

Awesome! Did the tourney stuff make sense?

Good start for me. Won a $20 HU SNG.

36/90 in my first tournement. Should have done a little better.

EDIT: Yeah it did, thanks a lot. Starting to get a much better feel for this game and as soon as I do, all my luck has gone!

FFFFFUUUUU
Bit of a nightmare. I always worry about this happening and occasionally it almost does..but then my roll is so low that it rejects me so it turns out ok.

There's a feature in the poker magazine I'm subscribed to that shows an interesting sharkscope graph every month. Continuing in the theme of registering for a sng too expensive, here is this months...

^^

On TS now with Drum poker chatting. He was playing a 45man but got knocked out when someone shoved K6 and he called with KQ and the guys hits. Was late on as well, almost bubble time.

The guy was trying to steal my blind, and I had to call as I was fairly short. KQo vs. K6cc, flop is K26hhh. So I obv have outs but of course, no queen and no hearts. Seems like almost everytime I get close to the money I get sucked out on at a crucial time.

Im gonna try play around 6-8 at once I play like a nit to start with anyway so shouldn't be an issue
