Just realised my last post claimed it was a $3 challenge but i claimed i found $4 in my account!!! Seeing as the post said $3 challenge i will carry it on as a $3
challenge.
Since my great start at these double your money
sngs i went on a bit of a dip, not really losing money but breaking even. I had so far played my normal game, opening a lot of pots with wide range of hands and generally trying to outplay people. One of my leaks is def my play on the button as i don't believe i hammer it enough but i really started to do this a lot more.
I found another regular who plays these
religiously, he had a star on
sharkscope, i got talking to him and i asked him why he was still playing $5
sngs with the profit he's made. Turns out poker nearly took over his life so he quite playing high stakes and only plays these for a bit of pocket money. Anyway i noticed he went with traditional
sng theory of sitting tight till the blinds go up where as my theory was to increase my stack by 50% in the first 3 levels so i can sit pretty when the blinds go up.
I thought my
theory was best for these tourneys as i seemed to be getting better results than him but then after my dip i analysed the games a bit more and noticed that 90% of the time when the blinds went to 100/200 i would cash. So now
i'm sitting tight and trying to stick around starting stack till the 50/100 level.
Since taking this approach my results are buzzing again cashing in 12/15 games. Hopefully i won't go through a long dip again but i feel like i can sustain a very high
roi at these stakes.
My balance now stands at $84, i think i will move up to the $15 games once i reach $200+.
Stats at the mo are:
Games played : 65
ROI : 23%
Ave profit : 1.27
Profit : 82.69
Even though i know the
roi is too high at the mo and should come down as i play more and can't help but think i am
cruising through these and that with my new tactics i can actually improve on this, here's hoping.
