Tried some small multi table SNGs because i got temporarly tired of cashgames.

Got SNG wizard and put in around 4h of work to give myself decent push and calling ranges for different situations.
Players left / Blind Levels / chipstack.
Figured out quite a few nice things and allthough my game is by far not perfect i think i have worked out a very decent edge
against 90% of the guys playing these who just try to gamble up a big stack early by calling and pushing with all kinda KJs/KQo/44-77 stuff etc.

So far however i am doing pretty medicore
------------------------------------------------------------------
SNG 18man 6,50$ Stars record

6 -> one 3rd place - 17.40$
6-> one 1st place + 4.20$
6-> one 1st one 2nd + 36.60$
8 -> all busted - 52$
6 -> 1st 2nd 3rd + 58,2$
6 -> 1st two 4th + 25,80 $
6-> 3rd - 17.40
6-> two 4th -17.40
6 -> 1st + 4.20
6-> one 4th one 3rd - 6.60$

summary

62 SNgs -> five 1st / two 2nd / four 3rd / five 4th

46x busted before money

= + 18.20 $

Well i definitely had more fun than playing cashgames
bad thing is i didnt make any money and kinda brekevent after putting in 11h of playing and 4hours of theory work.

However 62 is a small sample for 18man SNgs and i think i would have made so much more money if just a few times
my AK < AQ
KK < 22-99
QQ < AQ
AKs < 88-JJ
and stuff dindt happen so frequently in almost all the important situations.

well lets see how those stats look atfer 100games

if you feel that 62 games was not enough games to combat the variance, what good is 40 more going to do? i mean it's fun to play them recreationally, but either play thousands, or play them just to get away from cash games and don't care about the results.

NeillyJQ: I really wanted to prove to myself I could beat NL200, I did over a small sample, and believe Ill be crushing there in the future.

?

I just feel that there were so many situations like this

or this

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/814495

where if my hand hold i was 2nd in chips with 5-6 left almost guaranteeing me 3rd or 4fth place and giving me good shoot on the HU which would double my overall results easily etc...

i will play more and make the switch once i start to make decent winnings
but i will return to cash when i figure out i just dont do any good in them.

You prob could try the 27 and 45mans, higher ROI ITM, and they are pretty soft too. 18man ROI is not the greatest unless you are a complete sicko.

I am a degen. Do not believe in any of my advice.
