Sngs! FML!

Sngs! FML!

Hello All, Cowhead here.

Just thought Id write a little update about the sng staking from the fellow Dobba lads.

I started for the lads on the 22nd of January and agreed to play a minimum of 50 sngs a week in the 18 mans on Stars starting at the $3.50's.

I went across to Bannisters that morning to spend some time with Stumpy and really got to grips with the basics of sngs again. A lot of the stuff Peter was saying I knew about as I used to play a tonne back in the day on UB but what I was missing from when I've been playing over the last couple of years (yes years lol) is self control, discipline and simply playing these very simply and strategically. tight early and loosen up late and really get back to grips with how to play bubbles effectively.

Anyway, this Sunday will be 9 weeks in and I'm doing ok.

I'm on track with the number of games I have to play (JUST). I really would have liked to have played about double what I have but there's been some things I've had to deal with away from poker which have been my main concern over the last month or so but deffo looking to ramp it up a bit in the coming weeks. I have to admit I also haven't had the urge to play because these are so monotonous that they do my head in but I'll live with that for what I want out of this.

I've been looking at the games I've played (453)so far and the boys have been pretty cool in letting me tinker in the 9's and 27's as sometimes I haven't enough time to play the 18's and sometimes when I've had sessions I like to mix in the 27's because they pay more.

The second picture above shows a breakdown of the games and I'm actually just turning a profit in the 18's but 27 stats are way better. There's also a few 6 and 9 mans and also played 5 x 90 mans which I've accidentally regged for while loading up my tables and showing profit in those too.

The top picture is my number of games overall and the two other samples are my last 2 sessions. I've stuck those stats in there just simply to show that even at these stakes and small fields these can be ridiculously swingy short term.

Anyway, that's all for now. I hope to keep this updated regularly to inspire and motivate myself to play more in the coming weeks/months.

Dave.
