Just played 20 sngs and ended down $67.60. That makes the roll $199 with 196 sngs played. 3 KK v AA hands and i was losing races like no other. I was only 9 tabling and was fulling concentrating. I really don't know what to do here. My whole life just seems to be on a downswing right now. Do you guys want me to just end the bap as break even and send everyone their money back or do you want me to keep going until i hit 300 ? I have a horrible headache and am tired as hell. I'll check the thread in a few hours when i wake up from my nap. I really hope this bap doesn't sour my reputation among the forum.

Time out.

I for one have complete faith in your ability as a SNG player. I also trust you. I know you're doing your very best to make this exercise as profitable as possible, in fact I suspect that you're possibly trying too hard.

The admin side has been a mess, but I'm not phased by that. I bought into you for two reasons:
- I know you're a solid player, and I had a fine chance of making a little money.
- I like you, and I wanted to support you.

I have no opinion whatsoever on what you should do next. If anyone else does, then listen to them. If not, do your thing.

Keep playing imo, but don't rush it. I too think that you've been trying a bit too hard to profit from this, and it might be affecting your game. Personally, I'm in no rush for you to finish the BAP, so feel free to continue. Just don't worry/think about the fact that you're doing it as a BAP, and don't feel as though it's going to affect our opinions on you and that kind of thing, because it's not. Just play your "A" game. Smile

Yeah, dude, i didn't mean to sound harsh or make you feel bad. I am a little dissappointed in the logistics of your BAP, but otherwise you need to take the pressure off of yourself and keep your confidence level.

We all invested in you because we wanted to. So just play your game, play out all 300 SnGs, and we'll see what happens. Poker is always a gamble no matter what. We don't "expect" you to win, we just want you to play your game and keep us updated.

Keep playing. If you win, it's great for everyone. If you lose . . . it happens.

In agreement with everyone else on this. Slow down and play your game. No hurry on my part (like the stock market - in it for long haul). Have watched you play brilliantly on some other tables in last week and confidence in you to do it here.

Wow those sng's are taking a while. When you said update later how much later did you mean? Im sorry but as much as I want you to complete this BAP, if you cant keep us updated I have to question what you are trying to get out of this and therefore I want my share back. The share means nothing to me but the reason I payed it was to follow your progress and have a little fun. Im getting none of those so could you either keep us updated and play the games are send my money back. Thanks. Stew

P.S - this does bare amy detriment to your reputation in the forum and I dont want to sound harsh with the above statement. Smile
