Congrats man. The more I play them the easier they seem to be. I'm not noticing the difference between the $11 and the $5.50 games much anymore.

Nice work Jazz. Yeah, I notice a difference between $5 and $20 but not from $5 to $10...except for the prize pool anyway. Keep us posted on your progress Jazz.

This game can be so frikkin frustrating. I tripled up in the first round of an SnG just now, AND I FAILED TO MONEY! How stupid is that? I would quit if I wasn't addicted.

I won a $26 token satellite yesterday in an 18 player SNG where I was the chip leader, then the short stack, then the chip leader again, then the short stack again. I was a goddamn yo-yo. You're going to lose sometimes even when you have a big lead early on. Nothing stupid about it. Just like you'll come from behind to win sometimes. Stop being so results oriented all the time. You're driving yourself nuts.

BTW, I understand why people play these token games now. Much easier to grind out a "profit" (I put that in quotes because it's not a cash prize). In the 18 player SNGs the top 4 get tokens, so you only have to finish 4th to take top prize, which is worth 4x your buyin. Freakin easy man. You should try 'em.

The thing is that I could have folded into the money, but I decided to put pressure on my opponents with the big stack. That was a quick way to make my big stack a small stack. They re-raised me every time I tried to make a play near the end. I almost always had a valuable hand, but I never called an all in because I wanted to keep chipping away while we were on the bubble. Big mistake.

Sounds like a case of Blackitis. Andrew Black is great at going into the FT with a huge chip lead and making some bad calls and getting some bad luck. But mainly I think he just makes some bad plays.

I'm absolutely certain that I get pushed off the best hand frequently, but I'm never sure when to take a coin flip and when to pass.

I just get tired of **** cooler deals on the bubble. Give me AQ on the shortstack and my left will inevitably have KK and bust me. Whee, poker is fun.
