Decided late tonight to sit a couple Level 1's.Played pretty bad in the first but finished 1st in the second.Up to level 2 again. I'm going to be disappointed if I never see the light of level 3 before this is through.

Wow - its been over a week since my last SNG played! Been busy do to work related travel. Spent some time in ATL. Figures that the INET in the hotel didn't work. Thought I could get some quality playing time in at the hotel. I was wrong. So, its been over a week. Played 2 more $5.50's tonight. Finished 5th in one and took the other down. Pretty solid play in both, just unfortunate

Okay - so here is what I decided to do when sitting higher than level 1 rounds. Play 1 table at the appropriate level and 1 table at level 1. I think that is okay.So tonite, I sat one level 2 and one level 1 table.Took down the level 1 table and cashed with a 3rd place finish in the level 2 table. Finally cashed.On another note, I received word today that my Mustang engine is ready for me to

So I decided since I get bored out of my mind sitting one table at a time - it would be okay if at the higher levels for me to sit a level 1 table in addition to whatever level I'm on. Gave that a go tonite since I was sitting level 2.LEVEL 2 table. I go out early with TP against a flopped straight. So I open another LEVEL 1 tables - since its my level now. Dealt KK early. Lots of action.

Sat two more at Level 1 tonite. 5th in the first - 1st in the second. Get my 4th attempt at cashing in just one at Level2! Seems to be my holy grail right now. I used to play 10+1's all the time before this experiment and did fairly well. I just can't seem to get one going there. Oddly enough, I think it is because I'm "bored". You see, I'm sitting one table at a time when I get out of

Finished up my day at work with 1 $5.50.Chip leader all the way to the final two and I still finished second.More to follow latter this evening I'm sure.Played 2 more tonite. Its a late night for me as I had to clean my golf clubs tonite as I'm golfing tommorow. =) Here's the deal.Donked my arse out of the first in I believe 7th spot. Nothing to say other than piss poor play on my

Nothing really exciting to report. Picked up a new video card today so I can run dual monitors on my home PC. I'm spoiled at work so I had to duplicate it at home. $79.00 for the card plus a $10.00 rebate! Go me! So I sat two tables at the same time tonite. I'm going to do that whenever I'm at the $5.50 level since I can't go any lower. =)Sat two tonite. Finished 5th in one and 2nd in

Well - I managed to get knocked out of my Level 2 round. I'm 0/2 in Level 2. I sat one of the tightest tables I ever have sat. We were at 100/200 and still had 6 players left. So I started playing aggro. Paid off with a 5th place finish. I was around 2K in chips on the BB. Every1 folded to the SB. He raised 600. Whats a person to do.....so I pushed with 99. He called with KJ. I

After being banged out of level 2 last Friday night, I decided to take a break for the weekend. So here I am again. Decided to give 2 of em a go tonight.First one. Finished second. I decided to play ultra-tight until the blinds went to 50/100. Loosened up my play a bit with 5 at the table. Built my stack slightly and the next thing I know - there are three of us left. I'm the shorty with

Bubbled my first go at a 10.00+1. Back down to Level 1. LOLI was SB with 1900 in CHIPS. BB had 3000. Dealt AKo. BB is 200, so I shove. Was hoping for a call since the BB was pretty agro when he was in the blinds. He obliged. Showed QQ. Flop didn't help. Turned a Q.Back to Level 1.........SNG BR: 93.00

Played 2 tonite. First one I bubbled. That one kind of pissed me off because I was chip leader for a good portion of it but lost most of my stack when I went up against KK and the very next hand AA.Finally! Second one I took down. Caught a lucky break to knock the #3 guy out. Heads up action had me with about a 9:1 chip lead. Pretty standard play for me with these stacks was to shove each

Just finished my first $5.00 + .50. Finished a blazing 3rd. Big +3.50 to the BR. Gawd I hope to move up soon. Something about spending an hour or so for $3.50 does not sit well with me.Busted out of my 2nd $5.50 Dealt KK UTG. Raised 3x BB. Call by BB. Flop comes 8JK. BB checks. I bet POT. BB calls. Turn comes 9. BB bets pot. I push he calls and shows Q10 off. River doesnt' fill me.

I found this post by Ando05 (sign up!) on TalkingPoker.Com. I give him credit for the idea, I'm just following his lead to see how it works out for me. It is basically a progressive ladder format playing ST SNG's. I will be doing this on PokerStars.
