What I'm Reading
Time for yet another installment of What I'm Reading. I know you've all been holding your breath waiting for this, so...
This past weekend I went on a bit of an SnG rampage. I played 6 Turbo SnGs on Stars on Saturday (mostly the 3.40/10 player), cashing in 4 of them including 1 first place finish. One of the ones I didn't cash in was when I tried to take it up a level and play the 6.50/9. I bubbled out of that one. Oh, well. Then on Sunday I went at it again, but with less stellar results this time. 5 3.40/10 played, 5 finishes out of the money.
Today while lunching, I was catching up on some older posts at ScurvyDog's Blog (Sounds of a Suckout) that I'd bookmarked in my feed reader, and noticed he'd been playing SnG's lately, too. Here are 3 posts with some great SnG content that gave me something to think about:
Let's Get Grindy (first 3 paragraphs)
Two-Outer Magnet
4th Place, Baby, 4th Place
One thing about my game that definitely needs to improve is my aggression, especially on the bubble. It still surprises me when I bet out in position on a flop I missed and the rest of the players in the hand fold (2-4 players).
I think I'm going to keep banging away at the $3.00 turbos for a bit, as it's less of an impact to my bankroll when variance sends my win rate south. Of course, that wouldn't be as big a deal if I hadn't
1) Decided to mess with real money 2-7 Triple Draw after about 1/2 hour at a play money table,
2) Managed to increase my buy-in by 2/3rds in the first few hands of said cash money game, and
3) Tried to "get back my losses" by losing that buy-in and another. There go my 4th place winnings from the 4.00/180 the other day.

The $2 6-handed sng's on Full Tilt are as fishy as the sea, quick to play, and easy to win. I highly recommend them.
Especially when drunk.

Thanks for the tip, anonymous. I'll keep that in mind. I've yet to set up an account at Full Tilt, but I keep hearing stories like that and I'll need to do that soon. As soon as I've worked off my current PokerStars bonus.
