 |

| Well, folks, I made it. I've finally moved up to playing the $11 SNGs. Yay! Tonight I played 3 of them, and was in the money all three times (2nd the first two, won the third!). I know variance will kick in, but right now I'm on top of the world! |

Congrats!!! I can't wait to move up to the 11's. I'm about $80 away from my bankroll being ready. But I've been consistently making money at the 5.50 level and I hope to move up by the end of September or sooner.
See ya soon!!!

SNGs own, until you are on the worst variance run of your career like me. Yay!  |

Damn. My run ended - I got two seconds, then two firsts, then out in 9th on a bad beat  . Oh well. Still aiming for that elusive 4 wins in a row - I can't seem to break my record of three. Grr. |

You probably shouldn't have been playing the 50s if you had to move back down that quick. You need more than 4 buy-ins... |

lol. Well, I've got my next goal, now. The 4 in a row, of course, and getting my br up to 500 so I can do the 22s. I'll get there in a few months, hopefully.
Currently multi-tabling the 10 + 1 SNGs...
Damn - its just not as cool as Urban's 30s. *sigh* |

It's ok, it's the climb that makes the peak seem so much better.
4 in a row is tough no matter, I've gone 3 of 4, but the 4th is always elusive.
I just had 1st, 1st & 2 ITM, but couldn't pull through for the slam. |

An update, for those of you who care (probably not many, but too bad  ). Since I moved up to the 11s, I've played 14 SNGs (a tiny sample, but that's not the point). I have won 3, gotten second in 6 times, and been OOTM in 5. Not too bad, I think!
I'm off to go try to figure out that spreadsheet I got. Wish me continued good luck!
Still waiting for variance...

| Don't ever wait for variance, it comes all too often. |

No Kidding!!!
For the last 8 days I have been in the money in all my SNGs (5.50). Then today WHAM...lost 3 in a row with premium pocket pair getting sucked out on the river by trips.
Guess its my turn Urban, hope your "suck-out" streak is over.

| Hah! 3 in a row is nothing. Try losing 7 - see what that does to your ego! |

My limit is 3 per day. After that I crawl in a hole and cry.
