Default Eat your heart out!

Well guys I finally show up on Sharkscope now. I played my first real money SNG tonight. It was a $1, 9 people game. And I took first! Woo hoo!

I got lucky early in the game by slow playing (probably mistakenly) a flopped queen high flush from the SB against a guy who shoved with a lower flush from mid position.

I got lucky again early on when I had 3-4 in the BB and it limped around to me. Flop comes K-3-4 and I raise. Two other players each re-raised and I put them all-in. They both had A-K!! And they had both limped with them! I was seen safe through the turn and the river and knocked out those two players.

I had accumulated so many chips early in the game that I was able to wait for good hands for the rest of the game.

Anyway, so now I am on Sharkscope with an ROI of 275%!!! Eat your heart out!!

The best part about this win is that I saw it happen as it was going down. And I sharkscoped the guy he was playing heads up:

1,942:games $0:Average-Net $3:Average-Buy-In 17%:Average-ROI $525:Total-Profit

So this guy wasn't your typical $1 fish. He's got some experience under his belt and has managed to at least break mostly even. Legion played well, of course it's hard to not play well when you have a 4-1 chip advantage going into heads up.

Thanks Wyte! I suspect it will be a while before I reach your level of play. By my calculations I would need to have a bankroll of approximately $660 to play $33 SnGs. But at the moment I am working with a trifling $65.

Anyway, best of luck to you as you attempt to bring it back into the positive.

Thanks and don't worry you'll get there, I'm sitting here with a 1.3K BR and I'm just barely keen on playing SnGs without at least 30 Buyins. You'll notice that the higher you get in buy in amounts, the lower your RoI will become because you will see more and more developed and experienced players. Just don't get discouraged when you try to move up and you drop a few $$. Just drop back down and get after it again

If you want an example. Yesterday I dropped $300 in the matter of an hour. Got it all back but it took me several hours. Just got stick thru the thick and the thin when the varience is after you.
