Anyone play HU SNG's?by TremendousGats, September 08
Do you guys play these? Do you find them profitable? Hows the variance? How many buyins do we typically want for HU SNG's?
Any thoughts will be appreciated.

So, to keep this short because I don't feel like typing a huge ass post. I am wondering who here joined a fraternity in their past or are still in one and think it is/was a great addition to their college time. I also like to hear opinions from people that purposively didn't join one while considering it.
I am currently considering hardcore to join one but I am not sure as to what to do and tonight it my last chance to sign up. I made a list of pros and cons and all that jazz but in the end I can't make the decision. Now something tells me that if I didn't do it already, I shouldn't do it because I don't love the idea enough but at the same time it keeps on bothering and I keep on thinking about it so that's got to be a sign as well.

I guess I should probably do something else for a while. Still up a decent bit in 10/20 for the month but 5/10 has been fucking with me a lot. I think I'll go back to only play in really good 10/20 games until after Unibet Open and concentrate on other things instead just to ensue that I don't manage to get a mid-month 40k downswings for the 2nd month in a row. I handled the last one fairly well but I don't know if I'd like to take it once again without a longer break in between.
Been too focused on poker for a while anyway, so it might be healthy. I guess I'll like play mid stakes omaha and mix it up with HS hold'em if fish games starts higher. Whatever, need to change now since Asian girl from last post has managed to convince me to spend time with her. To be honest I'm fairly interested in how I'll handle her considering my mood from some kind of intellectual stand point. After all it's problably the first time I'll spend a night with some girl within 24 hours from going from +20k to -5k.
Ohh well, every time I move up to high stakes I seem to win a bunch of money, cash out like 30k or so and then go on a downswing and move down. This is obviously not optimal, but it's income and for each try I seem to get better and better (as evident in that fewer people seems willing to play me). And after all, gotta learn omaha some time, right? In short; happiness rating still surprisingly high. I'd say at least like 6.8. Still got the same goal for the month too; end it in green.
Let's end it with a song I kinda can identify a bit with:
Thundza and 3 of his friends from college came into town on Saturday for one of their's birthdays ^^ Hit up Sapphire & Hawaiin Tropic on Saturday night, and Xs Sunday night, with some hanging out inbetween & today. Had a ton of fun and looking to get a couple of pics up later in the week.
Poker is going OK so far this month. I would of liked to get more hands in this weekend but its alright. Going to have a guest next weekend so I won't be able to play much then, either.. so I'm going to try and get like 2k hands or more if I'm feeling good for the next 3 days or so and hope to run good lol. http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/58e10.sept 8.jpg
+ ~$200 over 500 hands or so. Winrate isn't quite where I want it but 8k hands is pretty insignificant (and also fewer than I'd of liked to play by now, but I hardly played at all this weekend, oh well).
Thinking about playing on the cake network for a little bit to clear a deposit bonus & for the rakerace (lol 4tabling a rakerace, whatever).
Oh yeah, pretty sick today we were dicking around at a roulette table and I decided that black was the best color.. I hit 11 blacks in a row LOL. But I am a fish and I kept taking the money off, so I only profited like $175 or something haha.
Hey LP, I was just wondering if anyone could comment on the profitability of these HUSNGs, and whether or not they would be good for an nl10/25 player to get into. I have been messing around at the $5 level and they seem to be full of bad players, but the variance seems so high and it is much harder to play multiple tables. I was wondering if down the line if these could be just as, if not more, profitable than the same level of 6max cash.
Anybody know what the most comfortable chair out there is? I was looking at the Herman Miller Aeron, and it looks nice, but I also heard from friends and others that the Embody is better. Anybody know other chairs that are around the $400-700 price range that are nice? Also, if anybody knows a good place to purchase these, it'd be nice too
Thanks
Please post any criticisms or comments on this article, as well as any suggestions for future ones. I think my next one will be on understanding the psychology behind 4bets and how to use that information to combat them.
Hour long deep house mix. Starts with a slow, old R&B sound and progressively gets more hype. Tons of jazz, old techno and funk influences in the tracks. Good grind music imo. Any feedback would be great.

Me and a friend are going to the awesomest game of awesome games in november, barcelona - real madrid at camp nou. Tickets were pretty expensive though like $800, but itll obviously be worth it! Also zlatans goal vs hungary was so awesome, can't remember last time I got that excited about a goal since I thought our chance to go to WC was over.
Pokerwise I've been doing pretty well the last months and since I graduated this year and don't study or work I think I should at least get in 60k hands this month.
